Beneath its elegant facade, however, lies a hidden realm of haunting tales and ghostly apparitions. From the grand mansions of the Gilded Age to the historic hotels that once hosted the elite, rumors of spectral encounters and restless spirits have persisted throughout the city's storied past.

The Canfield Casino: A Playground of Shadows

One of Saratoga Springs' most iconic landmarks, the Canfield Casino was once a grand gambling hall that attracted the wealthy and influential. Today, it serves as a cultural center and museum, but its opulent halls are said to be haunted by the ghost of John Morrissey, a notorious gambler and politician who owned the casino in the 19th century.

Visitors have reported seeing Morrissey's spectral figure lurking in the shadows, dressed in a black frock coat and top hat. He is said to linger near the gaming tables, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for his lost fortune.

The United States Hotel: A Haunted Haven for the Elite

Another haunted landmark in Saratoga Springs is the United States Hotel, a grand Victorian hotel that once hosted presidents, royalty, and celebrities. The hotel's elegant rooms and opulent public spaces are rumored to be haunted by several ghosts, including the spirit of a young woman named Sarah.

Sarah is said to have been a chambermaid who died tragically in the hotel in the early 1900s. Her ghost has been seen wandering the hallways, her footsteps echoing through the empty corridors.

The Saratoga Springs Cemetery: A City of the Dead

Just outside the city center lies the Saratoga Springs Cemetery, a sprawling burial ground that is home to the graves of many prominent figures from Saratoga Springs' past. Among the most notable is the grave of Edgar Allan Poe's mother, Elizabeth Arnold Poe.

Poe's mother died in Saratoga Springs in 1811, and her grave is a popular destination for visitors. Some have reported seeing her ghost wandering the cemetery, her figure draped in a tattered black cloak.
