The Iron Island Museum In New York Was Once A Funeral Home And Is Now A Haunted House
The Iron Island Museum has had a long and notable history. Built in 1885, the Buffalo building was originally a church. Starting in the 1950s, it then served nearly five decades as a funeral home. It was eventually donated to the Iron Island Preservation Society for use as a museum. The museum displays artifacts from Buffalo, with a particular focus on military and railroad history. With all of the deceased who have passed through such a building, is it any wonder that it is now said to be haunted?



The museum's owner believes that Zernicke's spirit haunted the building in hopes that someone would find the veterans' remains. In 2010, Zernicke was buried in Bath National Cemetery with full military honors. It is said that his spirit still resides within the museum.
