Old Stone Fort, Schoharie
The Old Stone Fort in Schoharie, NY, is described as haunted by reports of a woman's scream from the tower, a presence trying to prevent entry upstairs, disembodied footsteps on the second floor, and an organ playing by itself, an event captured during the SyFy "Ghost Hunters" investigation. Staff and visitors have shared these experiences, connecting them to the building's past as both a church and a fortified structure during the American Revolution. Guests have heard a woman scream from the tower, disembodied footsteps on the second floor, and even heard the church organ start playing on its own. Some visitors have felt a presence trying to block them from going upstairs. Apparitions have been seen in the doorway to the library. The TV show "Ghost Hunters" visited the fort and recorded the organ playing by itself, which was a notable event that fueled paranormal interest.
