The New York Capitol building is rich in history, but do ghosts also haunt it? The New York Capitol Building Tour includes tales of the nightwatchman who died there in 1911 and haunted the hallways as a ghost. During the thirty-two years of construction of the Capitol Building, there were hand-carvings that were created by hundreds of carvers. When you take the tour, you are educated about the inspiration behind the carvings and the differences in certain ones. The Capitol Hauntings Tour runs from Wednesday, October 1st, through Friday, October 31st.
