Spirits in the Rain
Nestled among the farms and rural backroads of Wyoming County is the old Rolling Hills Asylum. This site open in 1827 as the Genesee County Poorhouse - a place that was home for "orphans, destitutes, mentally handicapped, and criminals." Places such as this were common in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
The site changed purposes during the middle 20th century, with an infirmary added in 1938. The 1960s saw the site become the Genesee County Nursing Home but would close its doors in 1978 for various reason.
Rolling Hills Asylum is said to be haunted - just look at the place! The facility has been featured on various ghost hunting television shows and has even been used as a film location. today, this site is used as a haunted attraction, with organized ghost hunts and tours occurring frequently.
