Olde Knox Mansion, Haunted in New York Shelley D Brienza

The mansion is believed to be haunted. This is MY story of experiencing what I believed to be a true haunting. It was a cold, wintery night, one New Year's Eve that I was at a party bringing in the new year. Family and friends gathered together for our traditional get together to dance, eat and be merry. When the clock struck midnight, we all kissed our honeys, and blew our horns and threw our confetti, that had been given to us just before, and now was all over each other and the floor. One of the guests that attended the New Year's Eve party, he lived across the street. On a whim, he yells out, "Who wants to take a ghost tour of my house ?"This is a true haunted tale of my experience touring the Olde Knox Mansion in Johnstown, NY, one, freezing, cold, New Year's Eve. First I give you a virtual tour of the mansion and some history of the place as it's definitely in the history books. Next I delve into having a haunted tour given by the current owner, himself. This is a must read book because it's factual from beginning to the end. You will learn what happened to the Knox family. A company that was created and known world wide, even today. You will learn about the people and who they were, and what they were like. You will see what the inside of the mansion looks like. There are lots of pictures.

Come "into" the Olde Knox Mansion as I give you a tour of specific rooms. Learn why people get frightened visiting. See what draws in over 1500 people annually.
