I’m thinking about visiting a haunted location being an Albany resident
Awesome! I'd love to hear about it if you do!! 👻
I know it’s spelled as Al but we locals say All•bany
GhostQuest USA that’s ok lol I always cringe here when I hear the way people say it. I usually hear it from ppl that come from the city -nyc-
Same with Schenectady-skin-neck-titty.
That's how they say it in the south lol
yep lol
My mother who is in her 80s a life long resident of Albany New York has the old accent where her L sound like W
Awbany.....😂
I hate when they say Al bany..like do you say Al ways, or Al right...tf...
I live on Cherry Hill and damn does that house not look as good as it does in this video anymore.
I live not far from Albany Rural Cemetery, my mom is buried there and I've been going there for 25 years, never seen or heard anything unusual, and I'm not sure about anything at night because they close their gates at 4:30 in the winter and seven in the summer so I don't think anybody even has access at night, but who knows
you are absolutley correct i thought the same thing
Hello there I am Suavey Ramirez and I came from Southern Mississippi home of the Casino Resorts! Now based in Albany NY I am ready for the World. Life after The Corona Pandemic
I lived here all my life and never heard this
I used to walk Albany Rural cemetery all the time and never saw anything but it wasn’t at night.
Thanks for sharing Patty, it looks like a beautiful place to go for a walk!! I like to try and present these locations in a neutral way and let people make their own decisions as to whether they're haunted or not. 👻
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV well, you would not find me in there at night....lol. Fun fact; President Chester Arthur (1829 - 1886) is buried there
@Patty Masterson Interesting, I didn't know that!!! 👻
President Arthur, and also Peggy Schuyler (Margaret Van Rensselaer), made famous in “Hamilton” as the third and least consequential Schuyler sister. “… and Peggy.” She disappears between Acts 1 and 2, probably because she stayed in Albany, led a dull domestic life, and died before even Hamilton himself died.
I’ve been to Albany Rural Cemetery plenty of times. Beautiful place, and easy to get lost there if you aren’t familiar with the layout, but I’ve never noticed anything creepy there. I think they close it down at night, though I know people who’ve mentioned being there after dark, so it’s not impossible that people were there at night and reported seeing something strange.
It does look very lovely! 👻
New sub glad I found you
I'm so glad I found this video! I live in Albany myself and been wanting to explore abandoned and haunted places with my friends so this list helped. Thank you
You're very welcome! I have even more locations listed at my website if you want to check it out:

The most haunted place in Albany:
Albany.
Quite possibly!! I actually discovered several more locations in Albany after making this video, which I included on my website, and may do a remake of this video later including them. :)
🤣--used to live there!
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV what happened to your Schenectady video? I came back to watch it, and I was supposed to tell you a couple of experiences
Grew up in Albany, NY. I grew up on Yates street
Allllbany...ty
fun fact- i live in albany and my school would take us on field trips to the capitol all the time. The artist who haunts the building actually carved a tiny devils face into one of the walls while he was working there. They showed us it everytime we went. Its super small but super accurate.
Wow that is really interesting, I had no idea about that! Thank you so much for sharing Mark! 👻
I was born and raised in Albany New York I have family in Albany and it's sister cemetery behind it St Agnes you would never believe are quite little city is quite what you wanted and Cherry Hill is probably one of the most haunted but I'm looking forward to watching the rest of it and if I have ready to come and she will hear from me
I grew up here and live about an hour West of Albany and have family that still lives there.
Yes I'm just answering on your reply to my comment thank you for answering you know if you're really looking for a haunted haunted cemetery now one comes to mind that really you know is equal to St Agnes and Albany rural and that would be valve cemetery and I believe it's in Schenectady New York this cemetery is very very haunted there's a lot of spots that are haunted you know old funeral homes just you know we really had a no matter what your preference shadow people God forbid demon whatever you can find them and I'll tell you I'm going to do some thinking on them to try to give you some more spots the crematorium I believe that's in St Agnes's cemetery is also very very haunted when you roll up in there especially at night and you see the little gatekeepers cottage or whatever it's on the right hand side you just when you hit that that too chills just automatically you know I've been gifted I can see a lot of things and things of that nature I was born with it I'll tell you to some places I know I'm not going in alone
1:00 Osterhout- pronounced 'OH-ster-howt'.
1:59 Van Rensselaer- pronounced 'VAEN REHN-seh-luhr'.
Thank you, I appreciate the correction! 👻
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV no problem! I hate to come across as pedantic so I'm glad it's appreciated. Also, glad to see videos about the Capital Region.
Love Albany..great place
Nice job in nice weather I go to Rural Cemetery alot..so much beautiful architecture in the stone..very old and alot of freemasonry work a ton of obelisks there..hundreds..lot of large family plots..prof Javas huh..never knew that..part of the Empire State Museum is haunting the carousel part..may I just suggest to turn music lower it was hard to hear you over it..I never heard of hauntings in Rural Cemetery..but across the Hudson is Troy's Oakwood Cemetery now your talking one of thee most haunted Cemetaries in the country..nice job !! Thx for your insight! Time & energy..
Thank you for commenting Ina! I noticed that about the Freemason symbols when I was looking at pictures of the location. I appreciate the feedback and actually after making this video I did get a new microphone which makes it easier to hear me. Thank you again!! I'll look into adding those other locations to my list I have going over at GhostQuest.net! :)
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV Awesome! So looking forward..a pleasure! Keep on keeping on !!😜🤔💙🌏
@@inanymin8705 I will, and thank you again for sharing!! :)
Do the oak wood cemetary
@@OmgitsRitas2ndYT yeh in Troy that one has a ton of tales attached to it..good pick been there a few time..frear park i believe ..its been a bit..have a awesome evening;)
There is a For Van Rensselaer in Canajoharie NY about one hour West of Albany
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV I have not heard anything but to be honest this is a family that lived here steeped in the local history of the area. it is also known as Van Alstyne House. There are many other mansions in area that are known to be haunted like Beardsley's manor it was a smaller Irish castle and now a restaurant in Little Falls ( not far from St Johnsville area between there and little FAlls) Someone had hung themselves in the house and it had been raided by Indians. People have seen a person carrying a lantern and several accidents have been known to happen as people would see this lantern after dark. It has a dungeon. Many ghosts are known to exist there and employees have several stories on what they have seen. s the whole area has several locations known to have ghosts I would imagine although kept quieter perhaps, there probably are a few stories of some kind there.
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV Thank you.
some of the pics of sage college albany are actually the sage campus in troy.
Hey Christina, thank you for pointing that out! Someone else actually mentioned that as well, and I didn't realize it.. :(
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV i went to sage afbany better known as junior college of albany nice school thanks for the memory
Yes I realized that to
im a paranormal investigator from albany ny and i am looking for people to go placs with me. i have every single paranormal equipment tool like everything. sorry this is crazy sounding i am just super happy to see all this stuff from albany area on here, please hit me up!!!!
I’m from the Albany area as well and I also hunt the paranormal
There is no paranormal or “supernatural.” Our creative minds can convince us of anything, even what we THINK we see and hear. I’ve lived in Albany for 50 years, frequented all these places, and have never noticed anything unnatural.
Don’t be so “open-minded” that your brain falls out.
Newly subbed today thx you!
Lol i just subbed today
Thank you both so much!! 👻
Don't you just love Ayllbany
Just 8,I thought there was more then that???
Definitely probably 🤣
I’ve been to the state capital and the education center too! I remember going to it and after researching about it I learned it was haunted and it spooked me lol
I don't think I'll be going to Albany, New York any time soon. This is MUCH too spooky for me!
Mansion.
That's not true
@@4QUEENSPRODUCTION518 since I posted this 11 months ago, I now live in Albany, and it is the scariest life I've ever lived.
@@Flanbert104 the scariest? I live in Albany too and it's like one of the least scariest places.
@@micahcarlton2019 im fully spooked.
Al-bany? It's pronounced more like Awwl-bunny. 😁I can attest Albany Rural Cemetery is one of those places you will feel unease just by walking in. Lots of dead rich people in there that made their fortunes during a time where they didn't have worker protection laws. Restless spirits, creepy monuments, and mausoleums.
Very true!
I just feel like The Schuyler Mansion should’ve made the list! 🙃
Thanks Rainaa!! I just added it to my website!! 👻
It’s haunted??!
You missed the Menands Manor. Former "Home for Aged". Actual documented entities.
Thank you for that Tim, I'll look into adding it to my website.
😂 ALL- bah knee
All-bany ok ok
The other day I went to troy cemetery me my dad and brother heard something say hello
Wow, very spooky! 👻
Albany rural cemetery is NOT haunted. It's beautiful.
it is absolutely beautiful i agree with you, but however its definitely something there.. same goes to the sister cemetery St. Agnes on the other side of the track. I grew up in North Albany in the Watervliet/ Menands area.
...hauntingly beautiful?
Just cause you haven't "seen or felt" doesn't mean something isn't haunted!
Engage ur brain,D.A.!
Sorry for the 👎 but your background noise track is too damn loud. Amature hour.
Yes this was my first video, actually! 👻😂
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV I'm going to have to give another one of your videos a try, then. I was especially bummed because it looked like the content might be interesting.
Thanks Sue, I appreciate it!! The videos at the end of my NY playlist about the "top cemeteries" or "top haunted houses" etc are a lot more refined (relatively speaking since it's pretty much still amateur hour here lol). I actually didn't realize it was so loud until I listened on another computer after someone else mentioned it. I listen with a speaker system with bass, so for me the bass overpowered the wind by a lot and actually sounded okay, but now I test it out on both the speakers and headphones before I upload it. Sorry for the long response but hope you enjoy!! 👻
