Courtney I: Old Fort Niagara abounds with ghost stories, including one about a soldier who literally lost his head in a duel over a woman. Tour guides are happy to fill you in. A great ghost-hunting site!
Courtney I: Built in 1869, guests & staff at this now-hotel report doors opening & closing by themselves, lights turning on & off. Most prevalent reporting is a "little girl ghost", who often haunts room 406.
