A Brief History 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.

Long time ago in the island, there was a very enormous mountain which had a road rotating around it. People died along this natural feature and their ghosts continue to dominate the area by scaring away visitors. Another tale is about a health center which went down due to a big fire started by a mentally unstable nurse. Other teenagers also decided to end their lives besides a road and motorists are able to see their remains in that spot.

Another legend entails a psychiatric center believed to have accommodated thousands of patients in a complex building block. The structure went down many years ago and sounds of people in different mental states can be heard. Archaeologists discovered underground tunnels with evidence of human torture and shock therapy is believed to have been the torture technique that was used during the ancient times in these premises.

Lakes formed many years ago are said to be sacred places with magical and spiritual powers which were used by the locals in the past for healing purposes. A Native American princess committed suicide in a lake by drowning herself to death many years ago. She did this because her bridegroom was assassinated on their wedding night by a random traveler. Superstitions about this suicide story are that every year, a man must drown in the lake and the lady can be seen at times.

There is also a very big house belonging to a rich man that was transformed into catholic premises. The dark side about this story is that the man had a daughter who had died after she suffered from typhoid. Her spirits are continually felt within the catholic premises mainly characterized by an image of the girl wearing black clothes as she produces weird sounds. The management of the religious facility has given no comments about the issue as most people say that it is conspiracy.

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.
