Is This the Most Haunted Building in Ulster County, NY?
"I took pictures of this place in Wawarsing, only to find out later that it is one of the most haunted properties in Ulster County", said Robert Hoover, a local photographer in the Hudson Valley on Facebook. His pictures show the state of a building that has been sitting dormant for decades... but did he have a paranormal experience?

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.
