After our harrowing experience at the Hulbert House, we ended up staying at an Econo Lodge in Syracuse and crashed for the night (with the lights on, of course).

Now, when I took this assignment to go to haunted places and stay overnight, I was nervous. Very nervous. But I’ve been able to get through most of the overnights and visits so far with minimal panic. The Hulbert House was a different story.

Lunch at Eddie’s Restaurant was the first order of business when we got to Sylvan Beach! We were met by Leslie Stewart, whose husband’s family has owned the restaurant since 1934.

It was a rainy, windy drive to Cooperstown from Saratoga Springs. We arrived at the Otesaga Resort Hotel just long enough to put our bags down before heading back out to Hyde Hall, so no time to explore yet. (First impression—what a gorgeous property!)

Our second overnight of the trip: the Batcheller Mansion Inn. Built in 1873 by George Sherman Batcheller, the mansion has some extremely unique architecture—influences of High Victorian Eclecticism, combining French Renaissance Revival, Italianate, and Egyptian. The front doors (massive and ornate wood) welcomed us into the foyer and we were instantly astounded by the grandeur. We were to stay in Amelia’s room on the second floor.

If I thought the first trip was crazy, boy, was I in for a shock with the second one! Five days, four nights through the Adirondacks, Capital/Saratoga Region, and Central NY. I brought my cousin, Lauren, along this time to collect brochures, take too many pictures, and control the radio station. :)
