Spooky Churches
New York Phantom children The former Amherst Synagogue in Western New York State was built in the 1980s. It has some scary paranormal activity recorded. According to legend, the wooded area in which the synagogue stands was once the dumping ground of a sadistic child murderer. Many years later, during construction, a wall fell, and it was thought that the spirits of the murdered children had done it, showing their anger at having their final resting place disturbed. Others tend to think that the grounds might have been sacred Native American land. Even paranormal investigators have found this place frightening. There are times when you can see ghostly faces looking through the windows. The apparitions that remain here are phantom children that rise from the ground when least expected and a wild-eyed, man with an axe who chases trespassers away.

Not just human spirits haunt this terrifying castle but also the spirit of a horse and a vicious dog. The horrifying story of the dog is that the main entrance to the castle was the weakest spot so a guard took his most beloved and fierce guard dog and buried it alive near the entrance.
