THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Rochester Abandoned Psychiatric Center is associated with reports of intense paranormal activity linked to its former patients. Witnesses have described apparitions, screams, shadow figures, and unexplained footsteps inside the abandoned buildings. It is widely regarded as one of New York's most haunted abandoned hospitals.
As most of the buildings have been boarded up, I wasn’t able to go inside any of the buildings (and, to be honest, I wasn’t necessarily looking for a way in). The howling winds of Rochester, NY, and the cold, eerie weather set the mood and I was definitely feeling a little spooked, even as I walked around its exterior, assuming that every sound I heard was coming from someone or something inside of its walls. Going through my pictures afterwards, I took the picture attached. It was inside of the Walters Building. I seemed to have captured an unnatural blur in a high window, possibly evidence of the paranormal. Considering the building’s history, I can’t even say it was unexpected to make such a discovery.
