The story

Built in 1827 as the Genesee County Poor Farm, Rolling Hills housed the indigent, the mentally ill, orphaned children and the criminally insane under the same roof for more than a century. A private cemetery on the grounds contains the remains of those who died without family to claim them. The shadow figure of a very tall man — believed to be Roy, a resident who reportedly stood 7'3" — is among the most frequently reported phenomena on the property.

What's reported here

Visitors and investigators report seeing the shadow figure of Roy, a man said to have stood around 7'3", along with unexplained voices, footsteps and cold spots throughout the building.

History & background

Established in 1827 as the Genesee County Poor Farm, Rolling Hills later housed the poor, elderly, orphaned children and people with mental illness. Today, the restored property operates as a museum and popular paranormal investigation site.
