Schenectady has been a hotbed for filming movies and TV shows. Back in June of 2021, there was a show filmed for Discovery Plus and the Travel Channel called "A Haunting" and Schenectady was the backdrop. Also, a local couple appears in the show that airs tonight
On Saturday night's premiere episode of the Travel Channel's "Destination Fear," they will visit and investigate hauntings and paranormal activity at the Saratoga Homestead Sanitarium.
There is a ton of history from the days of prohibition and gambling in the 1930s and one of the gangsters of the time is said to have buried his fortune somewhere in Saratoga County. The Travel Channel searched for it and they reveal their findings (if any) on TV next week.
