The Hinsdale House in New York has been called one of the most haunted houses in America. In the 1970s, the Dandy family moved into what looked like a peaceful farmhouse—only to discover footsteps in empty halls, voices whispering names, and shadows watching from the windows. Things grew so terrifying that the Catholic Church performed a full exorcism on the property. But even that didn’t stop the haunting.
In this GITN Strange Bites Episode, we explore the true story of the Hinsdale House Haunting:
The Dandy family’s chilling encounters inside the farmhouse
The mysterious “Mary’s Room” filled with flies and strange visions
The 1974 exorcism by Father Alphonsus Trabold that failed to quiet the house
Local legends of a “hanging tree” and cursed land
The diary and book Echoes of a Haunting by Clara Dandy
How modern investigators and the home’s current caretaker, Daniel Klaes, keep the story alive
Is it cursed land? Paranormal infestation? Or folklore that grew too powerful to fade? This is the haunting of the Hinsdale House.
