The Hauntings of Hale Farm and Village

[girl]

My parents took me here when I was a child. Hale Farm is why I love visiting spooky old houses today.

We took a field trip here in elementary school and in high school I volunteered for one of their winter events. The place definitely had an eerie vibe about it. Great video, gentlemen.

I grew up there so I know this area very well. The first time I was at Hale Farm was as a third grader in the early 1960's. Back then there was only the Hale home, barn with sheep & cows, a spring that also acted as refrigeration for the meats, a smokehouse for sausage links, blacksmith shop, weaving shop with loom and candle barn. I may have forgotten some but I think I covered the main ones.The Hale family cemetery is located nearby down the road. Even as a third grader, I would feel that something was there watching. I can't say that it was a ghost(s) but I did sense something unseen was there. If anyone has the means to visit this beautiful farm & village, I can't recommend it enough. Thank you for bringing good memories back. It's an incredibly beautiful area. There are plenty of hotels at I-77 and Rt 18 in Montrose which are very close to Hale Farm for those traveling from a distance. Thank you for showing this video. Again it brought back wonderful memories. ☺

He thought it would be easier to take a cow up and down stairs than to milk it himself? I think I would be so annoyed I would haunt the place too!

Alaska girl here from Ohio again- not to far from us, been there many times!! Yes some of those houses are eery to me!

That was fascinating, thank you! Nice to hear real human narration, and not awkward AI.

I've been to Hale Farm twice when I was a kid. Once on a school field trip & the other time my Aunt took me & her niece who was visiting from Baltimore, Maryland there. I'd very much like to go back there again now as an adult well into her 50's. I think it'd be very interesting especially now that I've seen this episode.

I live pretty close to this. How exciting, I'm going. Thank you

Very interesting. My dad worked here after he retired, I never knew it was haunted.

I miss when Hale Farm ran their Underground Railroad program. I did it once when I was a kid and was terrified by the actors, but now I really wish I could do it again.

I didn't know this place existed. I'll have to pay a visit.

Back in the early 2000’s we’d go to the covered bridge all hours of the night lookin for scares. I was so surprised to see the road is now gone once you pass Hale Farm!

[elliecargould]

Another great one. Set in my old backyard. The only story I ever heard before was the cow one. Thanks.

[tillyg]

Thank you for sharing this history. I enjoyed the story very much.

I went there in Grade school as a field trip, The Hale Family had orchards where they picked apples, made cider. I remember getting apples from there on the field trip. And learning some of the ways a farm worked. I also remember their Draft horses

The Methodist Church at Hale Farm used to stand in my town center at Rt 14 and Rt 43. It got moved after a tornado came through destroying buildings.

That whole area from the Hale farm and Village down to the covered bridge always reminds me of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

So glad to see this video come out so that the employee stories of the spirits can live on!

I remember Hale Farm from the70s. I played fiddle there at a festival. They also had a fiddle contest. I remember the blacksmith building. Very cool!
