🏚 Long Island’s Most Infamous Haunts

Raynham Hall Museum – Oyster Bay

Built in 1738, this colonial mansion once served as headquarters for the Culper Spy Ring—and it’s said some of its original inhabitants never left. Visitors have reported ghostly footsteps, whispers, and flickering lights in the hallways. Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, the history alone will give you goosebumps.

Sweet Hollow Road & Mount Misery – Melville/Huntington

A classic Long Island legend. This eerie road is known for sightings of phantom police cars and the “Lady in White,” a mysterious figure who vanishes without a trace. Brave the drive after dark… if you dare.

Thatched Cottage – Centerport

This former catering hall is one of Long Island’s most famously haunted spots. Cold spots, moving shadows, and unexplained voices have all been reported—perfect for those who like their hauntings with a side of history.
