I loved this video, I grew up in Buffalo, that being said, I did get a giggle as many of the location names are totally butchered. It’s all good though. Many Do not look how they are pronounced.
I was just coming to say this lol.
I can take take you that hunted home you can’t stay over night visit hunted home and see scary things 2 different things bufflo ny mostly hunted home 🏠 don’t move there
@@funentertainment4730why does it say you edited your comment, and it’s STILL unintelligible gibberish lmao
Buffalo has soooooo much history
Thank you for commenting Nikki!! I agree Buffalo was very interesting to research and write about!!! :)
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV I grew up 4 min from the Buffalo train terminal in the 90's on Thomas Street, it was always creepy. my friends and I would always dare each other to go in the bottom of the train terminal. always felt like people(ghost) staring at you. Still Live in Buffalo NY defiantly a lot of history here. love it here. Been Here almost 42 years.
As a local & a current native ,Great video! However Shea's is pronounced "Shays" 👍👌
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV No,Thank you for the amazing video!Very cool spots tho! I had the privilege of being apart of a paranormal tour in the abandoned part of the terminal years ago & I can verify that even in the day time ALOT of stuff going on. I remember being with the group in the old baggage claim area with all the fancy equipment & lone behold a HUGE shadow apparition
@@mattgulisano5349 Wow that sounds very creepy! Thank you for sharing your story Matt, and sorry I didn't see this until just now, somehow!
Hotel Henry is definitely haunted! I went inside the building back when it was still an abandoned old asylum. Myself and 3 other cross country teammates. A chair was pushed across the room right in front of us. A day I'll never forget.
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV i did some painting in the bldg in the early 80s ,me &my friend locked our ladders up to what appeared to be shackles on the wall in what we could only call a dungeon,,as we stood at the only entrance cleaning our brushes &tools we definatly heard our ladders &chains being violantly shook for at least 3-5 seconds ,,needless to say we took flight &never went back for the ladders ,prior we had heard the rumors but said ,,heck with it we aint scared ,,but we are now,lol,,im surprised you didnt mention the old library? for the even dozen
Did you see the cages? Me and some freinds went exploring around 2005. Creepy place. I want to check it out now that they're fixing it up.
Lol
As a former resident of the suburbs of Buffalo, I can tell you that all basements are creepy. The houses are old & the basements are usually cluttered with long forgotten objects & memories. The perfect place for someone to jump out at you. As a child I hated going to the basement especially the pantry room which always gave me a sense of fear. However I didn't mind going up into the attic which was creepy too, just not as much as the basement....lol.
You are not lying!! Buffalo has many old historical buildings and houses..it's like walking in the past!! My at the time BF , would take me to visit his grandmother that lived in a 150 yr old house with pocket doors!! And I hated their basement!! Lol creepy as hell!!!
as a Buffalo native, thank you for this video. Some of the proper pronunciations are Canisius (can-ee shus) Medaille (mi-dye) Shea's (shays). Great video!
Thank you, Matt! I'll be remaking a lot of these older videos at some point and will be sure to do better with that! 👻
Thank you.
my neighbor was in cub scouts and they would have sleepovers on the sullivans. He said it was haunted and saw some things. Everytime I visit the ship, I always feel like I'm being watched too.
Medaille (pronounced Me-dye) College, class of 2010 BA Communications. I can't tell you how many times walking in the main building I felt chills. The upper floor on the main building was closed for years. By the time graduation rolled around for me, they re-opened it & had it turned into a coffee shop for the students.
Medaille college is closing.
Nice video but your pronunciation is off on alot of these places besides that great job
I've been to the train station many times when i was younger. Played hide and seek all the time and the only sound you heard were if any homeless people were partying.
Central Terminal was my playground when I was a youth
I love this as you tell these to all of us! Catching up on what I am missing.
I'm from Rochester NY and I've been to the train station in Buffalo...I've been inside!! They have been trying to restore it...but you can't help but feel an Erie presence inside and outside as well!! It is absolutely massive on acres of land!!
Many years ago, I was at a diner with some friends back when I lived in Chicago and I don’t know how the subject came up, but we stared talking about the Sullivans and the guy in the booth next to us overheard what we were talking about and it turned out that his mother was the first cousin of the Sullivan brothers and he had a lot of information about them and he spent some time hanging out and talking about them to us. It was interesting
Wow, that does sound very interesting!! What a coincidence!!
Awesome video! Can't want to see what you come up with next!
That would be awesome! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
*caneeshus college is the local pronunciation. And *Shays is the pronunciation for the theatres in the area. You missed the forest lawn cemetery. Great work though. For those that don't know western new York is chocked full of paranormal stories. Lots of history. Going back to the Iroquois and Seneca and possible Vikings exploring. It's fun stuff.
Hey there K T, thank you for the correction and I apologize for getting these wrong.. this was one of my very first videos and I've since been trying to get better at my pronunciation. I agree with you though, New York has some very interesting and haunted history!!! Thank you again for commenting!!
For me to live in buffalo I ain’t never know canisius college was haunted learn sum knew every day
I attended there and am just finding out lol
I've been investigating the paranormal in Buffalo for the last 15 years and have never heard of any claims coming from the Lindbergh school in Kenmore .
Awesome video. Keep up the good work. Hopefully I'll be able to visit a few of these places one of these days.
GhostQuest USA I live in buffalo I’ve been too all of the colleges it’s really creepy
GhostQuest USA thank you have a blessed day
Loved your video!
Another great video!
i worked at hotel henry..... yea they aint lying..
He pronounced Canisius, Ca-ni-si-us and its pronounced Ca-nee-shus
Daddy chili he's actually pronouncing it the true way. Everyone else is wrong. Lmao
I agree, this idiot pronounce it all wrong!!!
@@JAYTEAM187 then I guess buffaonian have been pronouncing it wrong for years!! (Ya think?!?)
@@JAYTEAM187 how you gon tell us who grew up in buffalo 😭😭😭
245 North Street in Buffalo, n.y. is also haunted!! The building was built in the early 1820s, check it out!!!
Number 11 the Towne Ballroom, you state at the beginning that it was constructed in the 1940's. The Prohibition era was the period from 1920 to 1933
I'd like to add another haunted location known as the Lockwood Mansion (aka Lockwood House) on Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY (the old "millionaire's Row" as it was called in the 19th century). Deep in Buffalo's city was a street commonly known for being the private homes of wealthy industrialists, bankers, doctors, business men, etc. All of these homes are currently converted to office buildings and the headquarters of companies employing hundreds, Lockwood Mansion is but one but with a resident of a paranormal presence. The History of the Mansion: that it was first built in 1873 but was destroyed by a fire in 1887. Rebuilt a year later. Then purchased by a wealthy gentleman T. B. Lockwood in 1918 who remodeled it. The property changed hands several times after 1950 (sold by Lockwood's widow) until it became a visiting nursing facility run by the Episcopal Church of Buffalo. That's where I come into the story. I'm not delivering a story as a common local legend, or passing down a ghost story because I experienced an apparition sighting and was actually touched by it: an aged or elderly woman. I wasn't the only one. The third floor is especially spooky but any floor can give you the creeps if you're alone in the mansion after dark.
That old steamboat looks haunted
The old psych center wasn't "closed" due to neglect of the of the patients. Nothing was closed, a new psych center was constructed on the same property and everything was moved to that building, leaving the old building empty. The psych center remains open to this day. The Richardson complex is still under renovation, with hopes that more can be donewith the old building besides the hotel and restaurant.
As for the war of 1812, much of what was Buffalo at that time was burned to the ground. That winter an encampment was set up, in an area which is now part of Forest Lawn cemetary, for those who lost their homes with nowhere else to go. As most know Buffalo winters are rather harsh, unfortunantly many died due to exposure.
For those in the area a good place to find information is the Buffalo and Erie county historical building. The building itself served as the New York state building from the 1901 panamarican expo. They also have research library
#2 👻
Yes bufflo is mostly home is hunted never move to buffalo NY
thank you
Used to go exploring the tunnels under the "hotel Henry" (didn't know it was called that now), interesting thing about it. Lots of the weird old asylum equipment, like a human sozed bird cage, was stashed down in the steam tunnels still, late 90s early 2000s. Saw a flannel man apparition down there, while it was over a hundred degrees by the steam pipes. Also got chased around by the sound of a huge dog, never saw it, even when i saw heavy doors move out its way, and heard it right nearby. I didn't even play around with substances then, or altered states of consciousness😂. Tried to convince myself of mental fabrications for years. My opinion changed, sometime around 07, i know what i saw there.
Bet they through some wild eyes wide shut parties, in the tunnels below the hotel
Wow, that is so spooky! Thank you for sharing your experiences here!
Yes Buffalo Us haunted I live next to a haunted house no one can live there !
Where is this you speak of?
Places I NEED to visit in my HOME city.
Definitely!! 👻
It would be cool to visit those places
I can officially say dyouville is haunted i did security there as campus safety and i would have to do rounds and make sure doors are locked and i was on the first floor and i head foot steps like someone running right above me it sounded like that for about 10 seconds so i ran upstairs to make sure no one was up there then when i got to the second floor heard a girl laugh coming from the 3rd floor so i said screw this i dont get paid enough and never went back into that building and i still refuse to go in there
Wow, that is very spooky, I don't blame you!! Thank you for sharing your story, Matthew!! 👻
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV well atleast in kab other buildings I was fine always had a funny feeling going into kab like someone watching you
St. Mary's School for the deaf is haunted I was a security guard there in the late 90s in the main hall by the main door there was an old fashioned payphone you could not use the payphone to call out but late at night when I would do my rounds and I would pass by the phone booth it would start ringing and it would only do this when I passed by it on several occasions I answered the phone only to hear white noise
Wow, that is very spooky! 👻
You call it spooky I call it messed up this is no joke
Twins at iron island i dont believe is true. Ive visited and had tours.
You 4got the Statler Towers
I suggest that, when you work on such presentations, you check with locals regarding name pronunciation. Several of these names are pronounced incorrectly. But good work.
Buffalos awesome.
My first ghost was the first spirit l see in my lifetime
Was in Buffalo n.y.
Sandra S Boston Massachusetts 😊
P.s thankyou for your time today And have a wonderful week.
I went to the Richardson Olmsted Complex in July. Walked through the abandoned sections on a private tour. Yeah, I felt nothing weird. Seemed overall a pretty chill place. The look of the place is foreboding, arcane, and gorgeous.
Hey we do urban Exploring and mess around with electric skateboards here in Buffalo... And was wondering if you would like to do an urban exploration trip? We are debating about doing the wonder read factory... The Buffalo Central Terminal... Or one of the grain elevators! I have been going to the central terminal for over 20 years now and would like to get a last trip in before they reopen the terminal this year!!! If interested lmk and we will try n set up a trip asap!!!
Mercy hospital is pretty haunted also in Buffalo.
That’s true there some hunted home like you listen step noise buffalo is unsafe to live also you see black shadows like human standing or walking
Yes. That building is creepy just looking at it from the outside.
There was actually some plan to turn it into condominiums and office spaces for lease of purchase. Some renovations were undertaken. Never really took off. Many a contractor simply walked from the job. I lived on Massachusetts Ave in Buffalo. A neighbor was a worker for a salvage company cleaning out the building. He said a lot of weird things went on in there. Sometimes an apparition could be seen walking the mezzanine late at night at regular intervals. It was caught in a loop. Looked like a passenger trying to get somewhere and never made it to the train. Supposedly he died of heart failure in a restroom stall. Folklore maybe?
Wow, thank you so much for sharing!! I'd love to be able to explore the terminal myself some day, the building looks awesome!
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV It is dumbfounding in its immensity. It would take forever to explore in depth. I'm not too sure of access to it now, but other paranormal investigative teams have been granted time in the past. There may also be some mechanical areas that may be strictly off limits except to specialists in mechanical fields because of the inherent dangers you'd be subjected to. I heard there are wide open elevator shafts in darkened hallways that drop from sickening heights to the bottom of the shafts. One wrong turn or a malfunction in your light and its adios moonchacho! Anyway, it's been years. Don't know the building's status now.
@11B10 Inf Yes, that's absolutely true. I was just reading an article within the last week or two about a group of ghost hunters who went into the terminal without permission at night, and one of them fell through the floor and was injured. They had to be sent to the ER. That's why I added a disclaimer to my newer videos!! 👻
Graduated from dyouville ....definitely can tell you the KAB building is weird. You definitely will feel like someone is behind you or even hear foot steps and no one is there. And the lights do flicker...but only in that building.
Sounds spooky! 👻
@@GhostQuestUSA_TV it definitely is and they have theese very old pictures posted in the front corridor of that building of the founders and first students....that picture is strange. And one of the first students looked exactly like the nun that was in charge of the heop financial aid program. That lady was a different type of evil. I
Yikes!! 😬
The olmstead campus or Henry building now, was closed because they opened up new psychiatric floors in local hospitals. Not because of the horrible treatment. At that point it was better due to more modern psych treatments. It was a horror show in the past though and it's a very imposing building.
Nice vedeo. If anyone ever gets a chance to go on the ghost tour at the Central Terminal, do so. Every single tour has a ghostly experience. Well, the night time tours do, the day time tours are more informative like the "mob" connection. As mentioned before, your pronunciations are a little off. It's Kin-E-Shush, Muh-Die, & Shays (as it rymes with "Rays"). Other than that, very cool. The Iron Island Ghost Tours are typically booked months in advanced at Halloween and has a carnival-type atmoshere. Buffalo also has some grade A haunted house attractions at Halloween that are worth the visit, most at a very low cost. I've heard of the Lindburgh Elementary School being haunted, but there is not a tour of anything as it is a working school. Keep up the good work.
I went to the terminal down on William and I fell 3 stories through a hole in the floor… somehow I survived after doing a flip and about 80% of the second flip. I broke three bones and somehow I got up and walked out of there. Very very spooky.
Hopefully you will never see a shadow figure! I have seen a shadow figure twice here in NorCal. Im a bit psychic and spirits try and sometimes do contact me.
They forgot father baker sheesh that place is creepy
I'll look into adding it to my database on GhostQuest.net, thank you!
The Hotel Henry is where Outlast was filmed.
Interesting!! Thanks for sharing!! 👻
Cant wait to visit the 716 again
Not a lot of activities, but filled with historical things and places. Good to visit, but not a good place to live. There is a very violent side
@@d_haze Im in rochester so i undrstand lol
@@d_haze i disagree. There are some nice affordable suburbs and areas. I pay $1000 rent for a 3 br 1 bath house with full basement in Amherst. Nevermind i should be a homeowner. Thats another story. Ciao. #love mt city
@@d_haze nah there's plenty to do if you dig a little. And stay out of the fruit belt and don't do anything dumb and you're fine.
City of good neighbors. Because you won't fair well as bad neighbor.
i also live in buffalo/ niagara falls
Seems like a nice area!! :)
The Central Terminal isn't haunted, but the neighbor hood is scary .
Shoulda put the zoo on there.. late nights get creepy
Thank you Mike, I appreciate the info!! I just added it to my website to research later, but I wasn't able to find any ghost stories about the zoo. Do you know what the backstory for this location is, or have any stories you could share? Thank you again!! 👻
I live near the first one
Was just in buffalo wednesday for motley crue poison def Leppard Joan Jett tour. We went downtown after and seen the ww2 ships I told my friend I bet that's haunted told him thought I was being stared at from the ship Sullivan sure enough it's on this.
