Rolling Hills. On May 5, 2007 a friend and I visited Rolling Hills, the former Genesee County Home, in East Bethany, New York.
We were there for one of the organized ghost hunts. I took way too many photos, so I have divided them into the following sections: A brief history of the building: Rolling Hills was opened in 1827 as a poor house. Many people lived there, including those who were elderly, insane, orphans, transients, and anyone else who was unable to support or care for themselves. Prospect Place.

The Fayette County Courthouse is supposedly haunted. Legend has it that they used to hang people from the balcony on the Courthouse's clocktower. Supposedly the last person who was hanged there claimed to be innocent, and he put a curse on the town before he died. His curse was that none of the four clocks on the tower would ever show the same time. In July 2004 I received an e-mail from Jessica, a fifteen-year old website visitor from Uniontown, who told me about a different version of the haunting story: Johnston Park/Bridge.
