Why is Saratoga Springs so Haunted?
The Lady in Green

With a history of revolutionaries and wayward travelers, especially after the influx of visitors during the 19th-century Saratoga Springs resort boom, the inn soon emerged as not only a sanctuary for tired souls but also a bustling hub of local lore and lingering spirits.
Get ready to uncover the delightful quirks of the Lady in Green, the Civil War widow who seems to be stuck in a time loop, forever wandering the inn and seeking companionship that may never come. No matter how many years have passed, her presence never fades.
