Photos of Abandoned Property in Ulster County, NY

The photos are creepy on their own, but the question of the day was if Robert had experienced anything that could be attributed to a haunting. "I didn’t feel anything", he reported, "except when I tried to leave my motorcycle wouldn’t start for no particular reason and the back end kicked up when I pulled out, I turned to look and nothing was there". It's far from the only abandoned New York property sought out by explorers.
