The Pottersville village can be found off of Lundy Road near Kingston, New York in northeastern Warren County.

This was once a very average upstate NY community until a devastating flood took over in 1927 that nearly destroyed it.

Since then, the town has also been rumored to be haunted. According to legends circulated online, a case of awful murders took place here sometime in the mid-twentieth century. The story claims that a resident living in Pottersville killed every member of his family before eventually shooting himself.

Over the years, those that have explored the nearby hiking trails here have reported seeing floating objects and ghosts that are assumed to be the murdered family members.

Today, all that remains of this abandoned community are a few foundations of the homes and garages that were once here but mostly every building that once stood has been demolished.
