The Knox Mansion

104 W 2nd Ave, Johnstown, NY 12095, United States

Built in 1889 by gelatin magnate Charles Knox, the 42-room Knox Mansion features an elevator, grand staircase, and an imported Italian lava ash fireplace. It's widely believed to be haunted, with guests reporting flickering lights, dropped lamps, disembodied footsteps and voices, sightings of ghosts, sudden cold spots, sheets being pulled off beds, and phantom piano music. Notably, children have reported interactions with the spirit of a long-deceased gardener known to be fond of children. A persistent rumor suggests a still-born baby might have been buried within the house's foundation, potentially adding to the site's spiritual activity.
