Historic Allaire Village

A well-preserved 19th-century iron-working village inside Allaire State Park, with a blast furnace, workers' homes, a church, and a grand manor house. James P. Allaire, who owned it all, died on the property in 1858.

Multiple spirits haunt the village, most notably Hal Allaire, son of the founder. Oscar Cheesman Smith, the iron works manager, haunts the Manager's House and enjoys spelling out names with children's toy blocks. Workers report candlelight and faces in the windows of the Big House after closing. Chairs move on their own, strange voices echo through buildings, and images appear in mirrors that aren't actually there. Benjamin Marks, described as "a nasty, angry man who wears boots," is sensed by psychics.
