I went there at least 10 years ago and i remember my family and i playing hid and seek throughout the entire place. I hid in the dungeon. worst decision ever i heard some really weird noises and had a strong feeling of someone standing right next to me. I would love to go on their ghost tour.

I visited the fort as part of a Jr High field trip back in the autumn of '74. The big highlight was the human skeleton's on display in a building. I've learned that they have since been removed. While there was a recreated cell there certainly was no "torture chamber". I've read and researched everything I can find on the history and siege of Fort William Henry and never came across any mention of a torture chamber. I've concluded that the 1950's excavation of the fort was poorly executed.

@matthiasbrook you are correct. there was no "torture chamber," but there was also no dungeon either. They portray it as a dungeon today just for entertainment. It was really a hospital during the seige. I am a guide there and have been for 4 years. The original "dungeon" would've just been shackles in the original entryway. Also, yes the bodies have been excavated and a buried in our cemetary now, unseen.
