United Office Building & Hotel

We could not find this place at first considering it is the highest building in the Niagara Falls area you cannot see it till you are actually a block away at night. We did find it and just admired it for about 20 minutes including the 2 Seneca Indian statues guarding the front doors. Floors 17-20th get smaller in size as it goes higher. I was about to go home after but then I said no way we cannot ignore such a beautiful haunting building. So we parked and walked for a good half mile since there really is nowhere to park in the area and if you do you will pay about $8.

We went inside the main lobby which right away you could see the L shaped old fashioned stairwell, a reception area, the elevator hallway, and a few other rooms which one had some old woodwork in. Mark and I went into the basement first. The basement right away made me feel uneasy. I did not like it I did not feel right about it. The basement itself was very maze like and I know we missed at least 1-2 rooms down there. However our first turn into a larger area Mark snapped a quick photo and by the looks of it I seen one of the greatest demon photos in ectoplasm ever. I could be wrong but I will review it more but after he seen it on his digital I snapped a couple photos It was gone and I believe the entity passed right through us as it got fairly cold for a few seconds.  He and I then turned the corner snapped another photo and it looks like we caught the same entity on the move. We explored the circuit room, a few hallways, a storage room found an old Abraham Lincoln poster rolled up. The basement was really starting to get to me though. I started hearing movement in the basement area and movement on the first floor above us like footsteps. I told Mark it would be wise to get back in the lobby area since we captured the entity on film which is not happy that we were there. I also want to make a note that I caught an apparition of a lady sitting in a office chair in the basement she is totally transparent and the details are amazing of her face, arms, etc so the basement so far seemed to be most active.

We worked out way back upstairs hurrying out of the basement as the entity made its point. I heard a scream or more like a howl in one of the higher floors it was not pleasant I could feel the building coming to life. We then headed up a dead end stairwell which had a balcony overlooking the lobby then headed back down to find another stairwell up. We headed up to the 2nd floor on the L shaped stairwell which was all open no rooms or anything of the sort.  Just one giant room with columns. We explored this well let area since street lights did shine in very little activity here I felt totally at ease. We then found a huge iron door opened that and found a dark bloody red painted wall and a staircase leading up to the 3rd floor. Again we noticed the same pattern a large open area with columns and a lookout in the center seeing all the way down the bottom. This floor bothered me a little. As we made our way up to the 4th floor I came out a door made a left and one of the ceiling rods made a loud noise nothing could have caused it all windows are intact here. But none the less it was loud and startling.

We decided to work our way down since it was almost 5am and after seeing so many steps at Devil's Hole earlier. Although I read that floors 17-20th were used to store elevator equipment. So we made our way back down the stairs into the main lobby after taking a few more photos in the area. We did exit out of here since we got more then enough information inside in under 45 minutes. I found this place to be very much alive in ghostly activity and even as we left looking at the Indian statues made me feel totally watched.

We then headed home with great excitement. Being able to investigate 3 major haunted places in one night is a treat especially 3 places with such high activity. We will wrap up the college in the near future optimistically speaking. On our way home we did find by accident one other building we did not have time to go investigate. We do not know if we will visit Devil's Hole or the United Building again  but they sure were alot of fun and if you snooze you lose just remember. Visiting these places perhaps sometime again should be a treat when some new investigators sign up for our next trip out this way. Good morning and Goodnight!!
