Walking Ghost Caught On Tape? Last Updated: 6/19/2006 9:58:35 AM Walking Ghost Caught On Tape?
Valentown is a Historical Museum located in Victor, New York, containing local historical artifacts of Victor and Rochester, New York. Originally built in 1879 as a shopping plaza and community center by Levi Valentine, today Valentown stands as a monument to Valentine's inspiration for building a town on top of his own family farm land.
Valentine built Valentown with the hope for the railroad to be its lifeblood. Unfortunately, the company building the railroad ran out of funds and tracks before they could reach Valentown. Eventually, Valentown was vacated and left untouched. In 1940 historian J. Sheldon Fisher turned Valentown into a Historical Museum. Over the years, many unexplained happenings were being experienced by the staff and volunteers at the Valentown Museum.
Footsteps and voices coming from locked rooms, inside a glass display case magazine pages turning by themselves, suitcases moving underfoot, a shadowy figure passing right through a closed door, spontaneous tinkling of an old-fashioned bell hanging on the General Store entry door and the binging of its security sensor counterpart when the door never opened, a white shadowy presence in a neighboring house, a man dressed in period clothing appearing in either the front or rear windows depending on whether one is coming or going, oil lanterns swaying, lights turning on and off on their own - all are just a few of the accounts documented.
