"Parish - Happy Valley - In the late 1800s there was a city its name was happy valley its is said it was a fairly big city. Until the black plague came and seemingly wiped out this city. Now very desolate there are roads thru out 5000 acres of land were "no won lives" there are many sightings of paranormal activity. If you where to get lost on one of its many roads you would be seemly lost for days. Back in 1976 there were some friends driving thru and they stumbled upon a skull one of them put in the rear of there car while they were driving the eyes of the skull lit up bright red. They were spooked and never returned since. To this day no won will go alone on any giving night."
Also, my friend tells me that the town used to be called Fraicheur in the 1800's

The one other time I visited happy valley, I'm not quite sure where I entered, somewhere just outside of williamstown. There was little to no activity at all, except for a few orbs in some pictures I took of an old cemetery. Continuing in, there was absolutely nothing, until all of a sudden there was a loud sound of metal dropping on metal. I didn't stick around to find out what it was, but I am confident that it was a person or people, not spirits.
My point is, happy valley isn't the evil haunted place that people rumor it to be. There is a little spiritual activity, but again, far and few between, and at in intensity that you could pretty much find anywhere.

I actually live in Altmar, between Parish and Williamstown. I personally believe in a spirit world, just not these horrendous fabrications of what goes on in happy valley. In the fall of 2007, I visited Happy Valley a couple times, entering at St. Mary's road in parish, just before the High School. I didn't experience anything traumatic, or dangerous as suggested in the story circulating the web. I did however feel a strong energy throughout the seven mile stretch that I explored. There were at times different overpowering smells, and at one point an overwhelming sense of sadness. There were no physical signs or presences of spirits, more a feeling of knowing something is there.

Has anyone been here, or does anyone know any information about this place? All I can find is maybe three websites belching out the same horribly miss-spelled paragraph, and it sounds like it could be a really interesting place. I have a friend that lives near there and I was trying to find out some more information for her and myself. If anyone can help, please post here. I will paste the only information about the place here if it will help with anything.

My family had a camp in happy valley for 10 years when I was a kid...it was right across from st. mary's pond..its still there just a little run down..I know that area like the back of my hand..I still go there a couple times a month..me and a friend found an old stone foundation in the middle of the woods..we go there and have fires and what not..it's not to far from the cemetary..I remember one time being drivin out of there by something..the sound( whatever this was) made was unexplainable...I can only describe it as if a human being had his leg caught in a bear trap or something...it was about 1:30 am and pitch black of course..it sounded like it was about 30 feet away..I'm a grown man and I was out of there!!!!been back several times and never heard it again....another time we walked from the foundation to st. mary's road and on that road is a small one room cabin with the name "gramps camp" on it...so we went in to scope it out...nothing but old crusty books,a bed and a wood burning stove..there was a cast iron pan on the floor leaning up against the wall...we talked about the pan and said "they dont make them like that any more..so we proceeded to go around back, there was an old fish scaling table and nothing else...when we went back inside...I looked on the floor where the pan was..and it was gone...only to find it now placed up on the wood burning stove.....

I have frequented the area for many years and vaguely remember conversation of my grandparents referring to the disappearance of the 6 children ,It was believed they had been swept down the Salmon river and washed into lake Ontario. According to the report of a local farmer who is said to have witnessed the incident in the summer of 1867. Who as it turns out was the caretaker of the Happy Valley cemetery, and local carpenter . I have spent nights in the one room schoolhouse and have heard the bell ringing through the walls. I have been awakened to children drawing on the chalkboard that seemed to vanish when I appeared. Although their writings and pictures remained on the board usually with initials and dates. I for one believe these were happy ghosts as there was always laughter to be heard . Plenty have claimed the place to be haunted and erie but I always felt the presence of friendly spirits,until my last visit to the remains of the schoolhouse .The air is still , quiet and not a bird to be seen or heard. the trees have all died and the ringing of the bell has turned into moans. For some reason the schoolhouse six are no longer at rest, and yes I to feel sorry for those responsible for burning of the schoolhouse. Their day will come.
someone sent me this on the subject.
I have held my tongue until now, but feel a higher power within me urging that I come forward. At the request of the owners of the schoolhouse, I was asked to stay at this schoolhouse in April, 2002. The reporting of paranormal activity within the walls of the structure had long concerned them. They found themselves withdrawing from their trips there and were increasingly disheartened by the acts of what they deemed to be vandals. Yet in the back at their minds there was unsettlement as they were not oblivious to the tales of the hauntings. I was asked to perform qualitative research at the property. By recording EMF (Electromagnetic Field) readings at the haunting location, coupled with participant-observation, I found my first evening to be relatively mundane in nature. On the second evening, the levels elevated but what was more astonishing for me, the observer, was the childrens’ singing to be heard above anything else. I was awakened at 6:50 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, April 20, 2002, by the fierce ringing of a bell. I then heard what sounded to be the galloping of horses, appearing to be circling the schoolhouse, which I was inside of. The room lit up as if there was full electrical current running through it at a very high voltage. The building shook with great force and I felt that the roof was going to cave. I took the best shelter that I could and prayed that I would survive. Within seconds, that felt like minutes, the event subsided but not without damaging my equipment. Every camera had fallen off a mounted wall location, smashing lenses and busting open. I am not a professional but the study of paranormal activity has been a long-hobby and interest to me. I do feel there is a entity of some sort within the confines of this school house. The fire that occurred on the property the summer of 2008 may have been someone’s attempt to rid the spirits, but it is known that it is the soil of the earth from which they come, not a dwelling. Therefore it is my conclusion that it is reasonable to assume the spirits remain present. If indeed there were human skeletal remains discovered concluding the fire, this property was a burial place. The spirits will never leave, be they friend or foe.
