Rolling Hills Asylum opened up in 1827 as the Genesee County Poor House- added the Genesee County Infirmary in 1938 an by 1964 became the Genesee County Nursing Home until closing in 1974. With over 1700 documented deaths and hundreds -- if not thousands - of other unrecorded - it's no wonder Rolling Hills Asylum is known to be the most haunted location in New York State and one of the top in the world!

What's your favorite experience since opening Rolling Hills Asylum?

We are known for disembodied voice, the screaming lady children giggling, doors opening and closing on their own, phantom footsteps and more.



How long is a typical haunt experience at Rolling Hills Asylum from start to finish?

Three hours - you must be here on time for check in but may leave earlier if you wish. There are three building and a tunnel - all connected - encompassing 60,000 square feet - over a mile of walking!

On a scale from 1 to 10, how scary would you say Rolling Hills Asylum is? Why?

for some its a 10! For others a 5 - it really depends on your own fear levels - since this is a real deal haunt with real spirits - people tend to be even more apprehensive because these are real ghosts - not actors.

Does Rolling Hills Asylum's property have any real haunted history? Do you have a spooky encounter you'd like to share?

We are the most haunted asylum -- people lay on the morgue table and ask for help because they are obviously not dead! Phantom hands from Doctor Dick or some nurse or attendant will give compressions on your chest as if providing CPR - you may have your pulse taken - others are held down on the table and can't move.

Another spirit -Barber Bill will provide hair cuts- people claim to feel hair dropping on their face, or long hair being picked up as if to trim it - others feel a warmth around their face as if a warm towel were being laid on it prior to a hair cut.

What inspired you to open up a haunted attraction? What's your favorite part of the business?

I wanted to save an Historical Property -and I've had a huge love and interest in the paranormal. Luckily for me - Rolling Hills Asylum fulfills both these needs.
