The Beekman House

116 Middlefort Rd, Middleburgh, NY 12122

The dominant spirit is believed to be Duryea Beekman (1840-1924), son of the original owner Nicholas Beekman. Duryea loved his home immensely and seems tied to it in death. According to local lore passed through generations of owners since the Beekman clan departed in the 1950s, Duryea makes a singular appearance to each new family. Typically, on moving day, he manifests to one family member in an upstairs back bedroom, dressed sharply in early 20th-century banker attire. He then silently proceeds downstairs to the dining room, opens a closet under the main staircase (which once led to the basement), enters, and vanishes permanently for that individual.
