The old base at Plattsburgh

New York · United States · Haunted site

At unpredictable times the sound of horses and marching soldiers comes through the buildings, loud enough to be overwhelming.

Reports from this former air base at Plattsburgh, New York include cold spots, strange strobing light, children, and a window that will not stay covered.

The account everybody remembers is the sound. At unpredictable times, horses and marching soldiers are heard throughout parts of the base, and witnesses describe it as very loud and overwhelming.

Alarms go off by themselves and typewriters click.

Horses are the detail that dates it. This site was a military post long before there were aircraft. The United States built a garrison here after the War of 1812, and the Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814 was fought on the lake and the shore directly beside it, a decisive engagement that helped end that war.

So a marching column with horses is not an anachronism here. It is the older occupant.

The base closed in 1995 and the site is now in civilian use.
