New York may not have any old spooky and abandoned ghost towns like you’ll find out in the West, where nothing but tumbleweed rolls through these destinations. If there’s something that our state does have plenty of though? It’s haunted hotels. By now you’ve most likely heard about places like the Shanley Hotel, a spot that’s so haunted you literally need to sign a waiver in order to spend the night. But if you’re looking for a hotel that has the perfect combination of hair-raising history and excitement, then it’s time you plan a trip out to Wayne County.
Less than a half-hour north of Cayuga Lake in the small town of Clyde, you can find quite an unusual Bed & Breakfast.
