THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The abandoned Saratoga County Homestead Sanitarium has attracted paranormal investigators hoping to encounter former patients of the tuberculosis hospital and county infirmary. Visitors have reported unexplained lights, the sensation of someone passing nearby, and equipment activating without an obvious cause.
Saratoga County Homestead (aka Homestead Sanitarium) opened in 1914 as a tuberculosis hospital. It is rumored to be haunted by patients who perished here, one of whom may be Mr. Horace Carpentier, buried at the nearby Barkersville Cemetery. The sanatarium is sometimes referred to as Bills Road Infirmary in Providence, NY. Trespassing is absolutely forbidden at this site – don’t even bother visiting unless you’ve acquired the appropriate permissions ahead of time.
