Interesting Facts About Haunted Long Island

By Daphne Bowen


The island has a lot of history because it was the ancestral home for the Native Americans. Superstitions and tales about the area are being narrated all over the world. The old days were characterized by cultural activities passed from a generation to the other. Haunted Long Island is historical and archaeological, because evidence of ancient cultural practices, was discovered.

There is a famous ancient mountain with a winding road which passes through dense vegetation cover. This physical feature is known to have spirits of ancient people who died mysteriously in the past. A good example is the narrative about a hospital which burnt down with workers trapped inside, believed to have ghosts roaming everywhere within the island. The fire is said to have been started by a retarded nurse and people claim to have seen several ghosts. Another tale is about a mass suicide involving multiple teenagers who hung themselves next to a road and most tourists claim to have seen bones of these young adults.

A mental health facility which collapsed hence burying several people inside, joins the list of superstitions too. This was a very grave massacre which led to loss of very many innocent lives who to date can be heard screaming for help. Within the premises, an underground pathway, which was found by curious historians, facilitated inhuman practices such as subjection to electric shock. Ancient people had very cruel punishing techniques.

Lakes and rivers were used as shrines and places of magic by the ancient men, before technology eroded our ancient cultural practices. Countless deaths were also witnessed on the lakes mostly due to brutal murders. Other people used to drown themselves as a way of committing suicide. A married female drowned herself too after the pain of losing her husband was unbearable. Her bridegroom was untimely killed by an anonymous passer by after they had just gotten married.

A residential complex built over a century ago by a wealthy businessman is dominated by ghosts of a young girl who initially suffered from typhoid. Apparently, the owner of this estate was the father of this infant and the girl has appeared several times in a black dress. The building was transformed into a catholic missionary and educational center fifty years ago.

Another farmhouse also has spirits of three innocent souls who were brutally murdered by a young adult. The criminal used an axe to end the lives of his victims and was charged several years later for the inhuman crime. He was sentenced to death and randomly buried in a cemetery without proper send off.

There is another middle aged female who was assassinated within her premises that currently operates as a catering services unit. Regular customers of this entertainment joint have heard her spirits screaming and the management of the hotel is facilitating the closure of this premises. Another young girl who worked at a bar and bank simultaneously was also murdered in cold blood and her spirits still wander around the island.

In a nutshell, most stories about haunted in this region have been criticized for being imaginary and superstitious in nature. It is difficult to tell if these tales are true because everyone is entitled to their opinions regardless of their validity.
