Historic Four Corners Ghost Hunt

About the Event

Join us for a thrilling night of ghost hunting at two of Herkimer's most haunted locations—the 1834 Herkimer County Jail and the 1884 Suiter House Museum. Explore the dark history of the Historic Four Corners, and the lingering spirits of notorious criminals like Roxalana Druse and Chester Gillette, whose tragic stories still haunt these historic locations.

Located in the heart of New York's scenic Mohawk Valley, Herkimer County holds some of the state's most intriguing and haunted historic landmarks. Together with our team you will explore two of the most haunted locations in Herkimer County in one unforgettable night of ghost hunting.

The 1834 Herkimer County Jail and the 1884 Suiter House Museum are steeped in history, scandal, and chilling hauntings. From notorious inmates like Roxalana Druse, who was hanged after brutally murdering her husband, to the infamous Chester Gillette, who was tried for the murder of Grace Brown, these sites hold some of the darkest tales in New York's history.

The Suiter House, once the site of medical examinations and autopsies for criminal trials, is home to eerie artifacts like Druse's rocking chair, which reportedly moves on its own. With shadowy figures, disembodied voices, and ghostly echoes of past trials still lingering, you'll be walking through the very heart of Herkimer's haunted past with us, on an thrilling evening of paranormal investigation.

The Hauntings

1834 Herkimer County Jail

The jail's walls are thick with both history and hauntings. Numerous reports of shadowy apparitions and strange noises have been recorded, particularly in the cell blocks. Investigators have captured EVP recordings, light anomalies, and the unmistakable sense of being watched. It is said that Roxalana Druse's spirit still lingers here, perhaps reliving her final days before her execution. Chester Gillette, who was held here during his scandalous trial for the murder of Grace Brown, may also have left a mark, with some even reporting the eerie sound of footsteps echoing down the corridors.

1884 Suiter House Museum

Though this building was never a residence, it has its fair share of paranormal activity. Roxalana Druse's rocking chair, housed here as part of an exhibit, is notorious for rocking on its own. During investigations, audio anomalies and EVPs have been captured, including one of a child's voice that seems to react to the investigators. Many believe that the energy from the intense trials and autopsies performed within the building has left behind a residual haunt, and perhaps even an intelligent one.
