As paranormal investigators, we are interested in the history of sites. Sometimes, what we get instead is the legend of the location, leaving us to fill in the gaps of history.

As we are located out of Remsen, NY, we often get requests for information on haunted cemeteries on Starr Hill Road, which runs from Remsen to Steuben. We are told stories of a cemetery off of Starr Hill Road that contains an old rocking chair. It is local legend that anyone who sits in the ghostly rocking chair will meet a mysterious death. We don’t know about any rocking chairs of death, but there is an interesting ghost story connected with the road itself.
