Welcome To The Most Haunted House In New York State

When we think of haunted buildings, we typically consider places like old hospitals, prisons, and asylums to be the creepiest of all. However, that’s not always the case. Take, for example, this old farmhouse in the town of Hinsdale, New York. It’s widely considered to be the most haunted structure in the state.

It’s unclear exactly how the Hinsdale House (as it’s now known) came to be as haunted as it is now, but this story begins in the early 1970s when the Dandy family moved in.

From that point on, the hauntings took a violent turn. The Dandys recalled one incident where a lamp was thrown full force across the room at one of their daughters.

The family called a priest in to perform an exorcism and hopefully cleanse the home of the evil presence. However, the ritual only seemed to anger whatever was there. After a few days of peace, the hauntings resumed and were worse than ever.

In the early 2000s, the property was sold to a local paranormal investigator who has been slowly restoring the home. His purpose is to preserve the Hinsdale House for research.

I really do wonder how such an isolated farmhouse became a paranormal hotbed like that. I’ll have to pay it a visit on my next trip upstate.
