Thiells - Letchworth Village
This former Asylum was the site of much miss-treatment and below standard practices. Any asylum that operated before the mid 1950's was somewhere you didn't want to end up, no matter how sick you were. It is said to be haunted by many of the past patients who died from bad practices and neglect.
Wynatskil - Snyder's Lake
There's a good chance that most of the tales of this place are nothing more than camp fire stories, as is often the case with these classic horror movie setting type places, and when one story gets out they often continue to grow. There are all kinds of stories about this place which include everything from a lake monster to murdered people who hunt to shores looking for children to kill. Whether or not there is a shred of truth in any of these tales or not is unknown, but either way they still seem to keep coming.
