Ghost Hunts We’re about to become one of your favorite haunts!
New York State is not just a place to play — it’s a place that can play to your fears and make you believe in ghosts.
Steeped in 400 years of history, from the early beginnings with Native American tribes and Dutch settlers to the emergence of modern cities, the Empire State has played a pivotal role in our country’s history.
Accompanying this history are often spooky events or notorious individuals that have long since left the physical world, but seem still very much alive today.
The Haunted History Trail of New York State is a year-round opportunity that connects ghost hunting locations that cater to serious investigative teams, as well as guided ghost tours and special events for the paranormal-curious.
Explore the trail to hear New York’s bone chilling history and meet ghosts from the past. Along the way, you’ll discover a connection between the paranormal happenings and our unique history.
