Ghosts Of The Rolling Hills Asylum (New York)

Opened in 1827 as a poorhouse, Rolling Hills Asylum in the town of Bethany originally catered to unwed mothers, widows, orphans, the disabled and the mentally  challenged.  Eventually, the building was expanded to accommodate the criminally insane, making for a strange mix of personalities. 

Today, it’s said to be one of the most haunted buildings in New York state, with paranormal activity detected throughout the property. One of the most chilling spots is the graveyard, where some 1,700 bodies are believed to be buried, many in unmarked graves. 

A commonly reported apparition is a 7-foot-tall shadow man, believed to be the spirit of an inmate named Roy who suffered from gigantism.
