Ghost Hunters & High Stakes with Charlie Kuenzel: Saratoga Springs History Museum:
We visit the historic Saratoga Springs History Museum, housed in the legendary Canfield Casino, and sit down with Program Director Charlie Kuenzel for a fascinating conversation. From the glitz and glam of Saratoga’s Gilded Age—where elite vacationers came to gamble, socialize, and indulge in high-stakes horse racing—to the darker, haunted corners of the building featured on Ghost Hunters, this episode uncovers both the luxurious and mysterious layers of Saratoga’s past. Hear stories of million-dollar bets, lavish lifestyles, and the spirits that still linger in the halls of one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
