Rolling Hills Asylum 11001 Bethany Center Road, East Bethany, NY 14054

"We had a great time! Please do not let all these negative reviews about the owner deter you from visiting. She was wonderful and knowledgeable and very helpful while we were there. I will say, she has rules and she very clearly writes them all out on her website. I recommend you look them over thoroughly before going and if you do that, you should be fine. All these people with negative reviews are people who chose not to read the rules beforehand. This place is definitely worth visiting!"

"This was originally a poorhouse (1826) and today has many sad and disturbing stories of the people who lived there - sometimes for their entire life. We were there for a ghost hunt and I must say it was a very active night for everyone that attended. The owner is very nice and I was glad to wander through the building - in the dark it was a bit creepy. Would love to go again."

"AMAZING! Ignore all the negative comments about the owner. She is very nice. Just don’t lack common sense and listen to her rules. Which are all valid. She’s running this place by herself and handful of volunteers. The place attracts a lot of strange people ( bad intentions) and people thinking they’re Zack Bagans. This place is alive and creepy and amazing. We had 3 separate experiences there that we can’t explain. Will go again. And the owner even offered my girlfriend a blanket , no evil owner would do that. She’s lovely and knowledgeable."

"I liked exploring the building but found some of it rather corny with all the staging. From my understanding this place was never an asylum it was a poor house, maybe some consider it the same thing. An employee also told me that one of the rooms was staged for a scene in American Horror Story but I wasn’t able to verify that from any other sources."

"Over hyped in my opinion. If you’re really into ghost investigating I’d say it’s still worth checking out. If you aren’t that person you’re probably better off doing something else. If you do decide to go I recommend bringing your own equipment to search for ghosts. For the most part the volunteers were nice with some of them walking around and doing their own mini investigations. Seeing that was definitely very cool and slightly entertaining. When you check in at the door they have you go through a small security check point which consisted of having your bag searched and yourself. After going through that process they have you enter a small room where you sign a waiver. Once you sign the waiver they give you a quick run down of the building, rules, and minor tips for investigating. When the orientation ends then they let you roam throughout the building on your own. This aspect really adds to the entire experience which I enjoyed. Being able to roam on your own is the reason why they have so many rules. One thing I don’t understand about this place is how protective they are of stuff you might capture via video or photography. I also find it very weird that they pretty much hold a monopoly on what information you can find on the place. I get that they might not want disinformation to spread about the asylum for whatever reason reason but this is the first place that I’ve seen atleast where they try to regulate you about what you can share."
