Central Terminal, Buffalo, NY

This weekend we traveled to Buffalo, NY to experience the Buffalo wing festival and found ourselves submerged in what was once a high-traffic train station--Central Terminal. Designed by Alfred T. Fellheimer (the same architect who designed the world-famous Grand Central Station of Manhattan, NY) this station ran from 1929 to 1979 when it was abandoned and left in disrepair. Since then, it has been passed from person to person in hopes of full restoration. The station has appeared in many TV programs and movies, including Ghost Hunter, which investigated the spiritual activity of the main building. According to the program, a great deal of spirit activity was identified in the main building. My crew and I investigated the secondary buildings.

At one point we were descending a flight of unstable stairs and I felt something on my shoulder. I turned around and snapped a picture (which came out blurry, of course!). My friend also snapped a picture at that moment and saw a distinct orb behind me. Notice the look in my husbands face when he heard what I felt. Other than that, it was pretty uneventful. Dangerous and creepy though it was. It is not advised that anyone should enter this property as we found out it was private property later and it is VERY dangerous! At some points the stairs dissappear for several flights!
There are, however, several events held in the main building, fundraisers, tours, and even ghost hunts.
Here are a few snap shots of some of the cool things we saw.














About Me

My husband, Kris, and I have lived in Connecticut all our lives and fell in love with its two sides—the established New England beauty, and the dark history from its early settlement. Most recently, I found myself wanting to know more about real “haunting” and with that, the gruesome past of the pristine Connecticut in which I lived. Me and my fellow Path Assistant classmate, Erika, decided we would search and explore ghostly Connecticut in hopes of debauching myths about haunted places or proving, at least to ourselves and some followers, that creepy things can be unexplained. Of course we girls have found that when it comes to these adventures our husbands are more than willing to comply and come along for the journey at times finding our next place to visit. I hope you enjoy. Please write comments, as we all love to hear what you think about these places or even your own adventures. Anything will help in determining fact from fiction, haunting from hoax. Thanks!
