Many sites in the Mohawk Valley have a significant history that have led to some of the most prominent hauntings.

Originally founded in 1847, the Utica Globe Mill was constructed during the height of Utica's industrial growth and in 1855 it became the Utica Woolen Mills where it became a stable of Utica's industry until 1871.

In September of 1871 the Utica Woolen Mills was destroyed by fire taking the entire mill along with all of its machinery and contents. Just a few years later in 1873 larger and improved buildings were constructed to continue operations until 1916 when the mill was sold to the American Woolen Company. When operations finally ceased, the mill buildings became the first home to SUNY IT.

Today, the Utica Globe Mill is known as The Shoppes At The Finishline and while the industrial history may have been left behind it is still present not only in the architecture but the haunting activity that continues today.

Many employees report the sounds of moving furniture on the second floor when no one is upstairs, shadowy apparitions have been seen by customers while shopping or dinning, lights turn on in the third floor attic without anyone's help. There are claims of a little boy who occupies the building as well as an older gentleman who does not like going up to the third floor.

 

Sometimes people who climb to the third floor claim to feel an unseen force keeping them from moving forward. During an investigation with a local group and a news station the reporter saw a shadow that looked like the little boy and was scratched at the same moment. Many investigations of the Mill have led to investigators having countless experiences and even capturing disembodied voices.
