The Story
Ghost-tour visitors at Fort William Henry report knocks and apparent figures around the reconstructed fort. In a 2019 Reddit account, a visitor described a shape on stairs where they believed nobody stood; another commenter recalled a whisper and an unseen touch in the same area. Other commenters suggested low-light image artifacts, illustrating the uncertainty around the reports.
