Sweet Hollow Road Most Haunted

by Mark
(South Shore of Long Island)

One night my 2 daughters went with me to drive down Sweet Hollow Road in Mount Misery, Long Island. They wanted to see the "road" and since I used to give blood nearby and went down many times they wanted to go.

The trip was uneventful until we made the left onto Chichester Road going to Mount Misery Road. When we got to a house 3 or 4 down on the right my oldest's voice got very flat and monotone and she said someone died at the house, drowned.

It recently snowed and the fields etc. were covered, so she could not see the pond or lake at Chichester and Sweet Hollow Road about a quarter mile away. When asked how she knew she said she didn't know maybe at school or newspaper. She didn't read the papers and it was not our school district as we live 5 or 10 miles away.

When I got to Mount Misery I made a u-turn and my youngest saw a "bear in the wood." I went to get out and they started crying. There are no bears here for over 100 years. I did another u-turn and then a 3rd at which my oldest daughter said she saw a doll walking so I again went to get out and again crying so we started home.

As I turned onto Sweet Hollow Road the area didn't look right, the fields looked changed and I got spooked so I hit the gas and was going around 50-60 in a 30 zone. I got more spooked and drove faster but the landmarks I usually saw were not where they were supposed to be.

After about 30 min I saw the markers for the overpass and I took a sigh of relief. The run should take 20 minutes max at 30mph but at 50mph it should have taken almost half that time.

I really felt spooked but after going under the Northern State overpass I felt back to normal and the area again looked normal.

The run down Sweet Hollow Road was as if I were in a time warp where time slowed down. The fields on either side looked strange not what I saw the other times and I could swear I saw grain stalks tied up in the fields. I went back a couple days later and all was as it should be, not like it was that night.

Editor's note: Mount Misery is the stuff of legends all right. I've been there myself, but have never experienced anything unusual. -Bill Drago

Visiting Sweet Hollow Road NEW
by: Anonymous

I remember about a year ago I found out about this road, and of course was curious to go check it out, however I can't really say if what happened was coincidental or not. I went with one of my friends the day I found out about the road during the day, nothing happened. I went again I think two days later, at night, I went with a few friends in two separate cars and right before we had to make the turn to get on sweet hollow road our friend called from the other car that was behind us and said that there whole back window of their car was completely smashed and said that it sounded like something was thrown at it. I'm not really sure if this is a coincidence or not, only because it happened before we even got on to the road, outside of it, I'm not sure. Either way that road is still creepy. But after that we decided not to go on, which I'm glad about because I didn't want to go on the road at night either. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced something weird like this.

Not creepy. It's just your regularly dimly lit rural road. NEW
by: Mike

Did a slow 20-30 mph drive down the stretch of Sweet Hollow Rd. from 110 to Chichester Rd. Aside from being dimly lit, it's about the same as similar roads in Connecticut or elsewhere that are rural and dimly lit. Saw what I'm pretty certain was an animal darting across the road a good distance away near the curve around Jaynes Hill on the southbound drive back to the 110 area. Though as it was dark I couldn't make out whether it was a deer or one of the islands recent coyotes that settled down within the last year or so.

Also saw remains of a raccoon on the east side of the road, had to be a recent hit under a week old.

Might have to check out West Hills Park during daylight hours, see some of the deer population there, pretty sure they have fox and definitely raccoons. Various avian species like owls. It would not surprise me if there's a decent tree roosting bat population there either.

I saw the men in black back in 2004-05 NEW
by: Long time local

I was about 20 years old then driving on the road during the daytime. There were no other cars on the road and I glanced away for a moment at something in my car. When I looked back in the rearview mirror there were two identical black Mercedes tailing me. I could see each car had one man in it with a suit and dark sunglasses on. Each man looked identical like they were twins and were expressionless, stoic. I was forced to drive faster until I reached the light but when I got to the light they must've turned in a side street or who knows because they were gone and I was the only car again. It gave me a really eerie feeling. The place is freaky more at night then the day, but I still go there sometimes. Just be smart when you're up there but the most dangerous things are the cars. Weird stuff goes on.

Sorry about so many comments but I also want to add that before this experience I wasn’t aware of other people experiencing time warps ufos aliens men in Black here I wasn’t even aware of them until today which made me not write off the weird people on motorcycles but was aware of the usual hauntings like Mary in the graveyard, I’m 20 and by far the most popular story of this road in my age group are the kids that killed them selves on the bridge and your car will get pushed which I’ve heard multiple ppl claim that their car did get pushed. this is the stuff we were looking for not what happened to us at all... I wish there was more info and other people experienced this bc I’ve been digging for any other similar experiences people have had and can’t really seem to find any other than on this site so thank you

Lost time and memory, men in Black?? NEW
by: Anonymous

just commented about my experience and would like to add something I thought was strange but deemed insignificant even in the moment when I saw them. After coming out from overpass coming from Jericho tpke we saw two people on motorcycles would be on the right side coming from that way kinda parked off to the side at this place in the road it is wide so it’s not like they were in the way I think it was a man and a woman but never saw their face really it was so dark but they were definitely in Black. I wrote this off bc hey just two people visiting this place too on motorcycles but I remember feeling off about them. They were just parked up on the side of the road. Now after doing more research I’m seeing things about men in Black and my personal experience involves time lapse memory loss so it’s just all very strange... I also can’t say why I know that it was a man and woman since I didn’t really see them but I could just tell from the figures. And we saw them right before we would’ve turned around to go back or we saw them just after we already turned around to go back but before the underpass that neither of us remember going under it’s hard to remember which or if we saw them both just after coming out from underpass and just before going back under bc it was a while ago I wish I knew exactly what happened but I remember feeling them looking at us. If it really was "men in black" I think my friend and I were good test subjects or whatever bc of the outlook we both have on things like this

Lost time and memory NEW
by: Anonymous

If you grew up on Long Island you know about this place I’ve heard some people claim that their car did roll when under in the bridge in neutral but nothing else than that... visited many times throughout the years stopped under the bridge nothing ever happened that I’ve "seen" but about a year ago a friend and I decided we wanted to go so we entered sweet hollow rd from the Jericho tpke entrance everything normal we were listening to music basically just going for a drive a usual thing we do, neither one of us are easily spooked and we both have good energy. Not necessarily scared or looking to be scared but going to visit any spirits that may be there with good intentions only to educate ourselves and have the experience, that was our intention. I think personal intentions really matter when visiting places like this. Anyway, nothing out of the ordinary happened. We get to the bridge, test the theory, nothing. But we both felt chilly energy when passing under the bridge like the last second, we were driving very slowly then returned to relatively slow speed 20-30mph we wanted to take our time driving. I also want to mention that I remember letting other cars pass us on the first way but on the way back we encountoured no vehicles, that either of us remember. We continue on our way a little bit more and decide to turn around to go back the way we came from I’m bc we either missed the exit or couldn’t find it so we turn around. We’re driving, listening to music like I said, and idk why we were talking the whole time but I remember just being silent and in a sort of haze until I finally question how long we have been on this road. The way back towards Jericho tpke seemed like it was taking so much longer. And neither one of us remembered going back under the overpass after turning around. Really crazy, we were both kinda freaked upon realizing that there was just lost time we couldn’t account for, it was kind of like I all of a sudden broke the silence and said where are we and then it came up like how long is this taking do you even remember going back under the overpass? Bc we should’ve went under pretty much right after turning around but no. I’ve gone back multiple times by myself and done the same thing turn around and go back under overpass and nothing like this has happened prob bc I’m too aware of it now. I’ve been looking for other ppl that have had similar experience and saw someone in this page say that they experience a time warp here too. I think it’s definitely possibility something strange happens here.

Gibson kid grew up on that intersection 1968
by: Anonymous

I took my mini bike at night on a ride from chichester down sleepy hollow road. The mini bike broke and I had to walk it 1/2 mile home. Scarry @ 12 yrs old. There's an old foundation on the n.w. corner of that intersection. The old Chichester family cemetary is back in the woods. Never really was spooked as a kid growing up there. I went to west hills elementry school. In the 6th grade we put on a play the legend of sleepy hollow. I used to walk on Chichester at night to go visit my friends Donald, Robert, and Anthony. We moved when I was
14.

My cousin drove down that road because her GPS directed her. She was on her way to her nail guy that is located on Jericho Turnpike (Huntington). As soon as she got on that road, she felt bad energy going thru her. She had never been down that road before and she couldn't wait to get off, and this was at 4:00pm. Once she reached her nail guy, she told him what happened and he told her that someone had hung himself from the bridge. So, I told her to take me and I would drive. It was 5 of us and I knew nothing about this road until today reading everyone's experience. We got there at 10:30pm from Jericho Turnpike all the way to Old Country Road, past the bridge but none of us felt anything. I drove back on the road and I was driving 20 miles to see if we saw anything. Cars would drive up behind me and I would just pull over so they can pass, because I wanted to take my time. I stopped in front of the Cemetery for a few seconds and stared at the place but still nothing and my cousin didn't feel any energy this time around. Maybe because we were all together. Then we left. I am going back again just to see. :-) It is a creepy road at night and I love that. lol

I have to say , to all the non believers..
by: Anonymous

I have gone to sweet hollow road recently on two separate occasions. Both times looking for something. Both times what i wasnt looking for or didnt know about something happened. I went the first time and used my cell phone to record the 7 minutes it took to get from jericho tpke to bridge. We honnked in hopes to have car pushed. Nothing happened. But when i played my tape back that i recorded with my cellphone.. well lets just say i have proof of entitys walking the road as well as screams and roars. The second occasion was the other night, again i had my friend record what happened. Our car was pushed on cue after the third honk backwards uphill 30 plus ft out under bridge. I posted on social media. So to all the non believers.. ask withoit doubt and perhaps you may be surprised

Sweet Hollow Rd is definitely haunted
by: Anonymous

I used to go to Sweet Hollow Rd all the time to see something scary and nothing ever happened. One night I went there at 3/4 in the morning with 4 friends and we decided to park the car underneath the bridge. We turned the car off sat for a few seconds with all the windows in the car down and about 45 seconds later every single person in the car heard a deadly scream, like a woman screaming as if she was being killed. we all got spooked and were shocked at the same time so we started up the car and sped off. About 20 min later were driving in an out of the road and then out of no where we see a car accident where the car went right into a tree. Creeepy shit. One more time we went back to the bridge, we just wanted to see if we would hear any more screams.. b4 uk it, the cars off windows down and about a minute in we all heard a very clear woman screaming for her life. i never believed in ghosts until this shit happened, everyone in the car was shocked.

There is a radio tower in that area that could have affected your GPS. However, in a book titled "The Norman Prophesies", there is mention that there are seven Burmuda-like triangles over the earth. One of them falls over Mount Misery.

I dunno...
by: Anonymous

I don't know if I believe in this. My mom, my friend, and I went down there yesterday because our GPS said to. We didn't recognize the place at all. While going up the road, the GPS's arrow started to point at the way we came and the GPS said to turn back. We kept going, thinking it was a malfunction, and got creeped out. My friend thought that technology was turning evil and was trying to kill us, but I think the dense trees were interfering with the signal.

Anyway, we all got creeped out for no apparent reason, but when we got home, we looked up Mt. Misery and saw all of the ghost stories. No ghosts appeared to us, but there is something about Mount Misery that gives you the chills.

signs & cars
by: Anonymous

That is not blood on the signs, its some sort of glow in the dark paint. I know this because my brother and his friends did that to the signs about 8 years ago. Also, it probably was not ms13. When my friends started to drive we use to go down there a few nights a week and freak people out doing that. And the guy in the truck that does this to peopleis someone that lives over there. He also dresses up in random scary costumes around Halloween and goes into the woods and scares kids.

by: ALyssa

My friends and I go on this road all the time. The very last time we were there was about a year ago- that day we saw the "dog" on mt misery, as well as saw the KKK in the dog run and in the cemetary!
We were run off the road by MS13- they chased us with their lights off so we could not see them. To this day we still go back, but its still so scary gives you the chills.
we have seen a sign with blood on it.
Love this suspense, but soooo creepy!!!

WTF
by: Anonymous

Ok yesterday we went through Sweet Hollow road and we went once in the day and then again at night. Our first time was usual nothing strange except for some idiots who drive to fast on the curved parts. But as soon as we got to the light my boyfriends gas meter went from half of a tank to non at all. We freaked out it was scary but after I looked at the film on my ipod camera there was nothing there. then we went at night and omg it was sooooooo creepy especially the trees I used to say when i was little when my parents went down that road that how it reminded me of the scary trees in Snow White. So we finally got to the end and the same thing happened his gas went from 3 quarters of a tank to almost empty and his lights were flickering and air conditioning fan were going faster as soon as we got out his gas meter rose to normal and everything went back to normal and today my boyfriend found blood on his side mirror and a giant scratch across the back window. so were never going in again it's evil and we both know it

Sweet Hollow Graveyard creepy....
by: Anonymous

Me and my friends went there just last night. There 10 of us, 5 in one car, 5 in the other. We arrived there at around 9 pm i would say. When we got there, the first place we went to was the cementary. We parked the cars around the corner so no cops would see. We started going in thr graveyard, while me and my friend were flipping out (there was 3 girls and 7 guys, i"m a girl) we were just walking around, not gunna lie this place gave me the chills the whole night. We thought we saw a police, so we all ran to the back of the graveyard and hid in a forest until the coast was clear. I swear to you, this was thr scariest thing ever. My heart was racing hoping we wouldn't get caught by police. Then i remember hearing that story about the opolice man who comes around and when he turns around u see a gunshot through his head. This then made me and my friends freak out so we just ran out of the graveyard as fast as possible. It was a pretty exctiing adventure, it gave us such an adrenaline rush. We got into the cars and kept driving around and as we were driving we see a ripped up white tshirt with holes and blood in it , and we passed by a pole with blood splattered in it!!!! Overall, this place is sure to give you chillls down your back

Friendly ghosts?
by: Anonymous

I went there recently (it was my second time going) & for everyone that says the put the car in neutral and honk three times trick is just gravity, is wrong. My friend purposely waited about ten seconds with the car in neutral & lights off before honking & nothing happened. As soon as she honked 3 times it sounded as if someone slightly lifted the back of the car & then we started rolling. This next part may be hard to believe but literally we were all like holy shit and laughing and my friend next to me goes "tell them to stop" and the car immediately stopped. It was pretty awesome.

Nothing Scary...... I Would Know
by: Anonymous

Ive been on sweet Hollow RD. a million times. There is no spookiness to it. The road is normal. Although many people have died in car crashes on that street, there are no ghosts. The stories are a part of imagination I believe. When the ghost tales are past down they get added on to. People just "believe" there is paranormal activity so they "see" it. The street is curvy and some of the houses are spooky, i have to say but the houses are part of history and are historically beautiful not "paranormal". And here's the answer to your question: there are no walking dolls. I have driven down all of these streets at about 12:00 am or later. They don't spook me. They just seem regular. My family has been living on Sweet Hollow Rd. since the early 1960's and has never witnessed paranormal activity, neither have I. Now you have heard it from a resident. I have been in some of the old spooky houses and witnessed nothing but time traveling back to the late 1700's and 1800's. Drive down Sweet Hollow Rd. to witness the beautiful historic architecture not to make yourself "pee in your pants". Thank You!

It is a time warp. When I was younger a lot of different groups of my friends would make the trip and even though we all been there before it would take forever to find the road then getting on there we would always end up lost or one way seems longer than the other..idk other than that I just get spooked from being so dark I guess

I grew up a few blocks from Sweet Hollow & have been there a million times hoping to experience something,I have always been open to those types of experiences whereas my older brother never was & what do you know he & his friend where driving through & he said out of nowhere an orbish woman in white came from out of the woods & just vanished.He said him & his friend just looked at each-other & booked it out of there then he asked his friend...you saw that too right & he said he definitely did.My brother is not a storyteller actually very serious & whenever I ask if he thought maybe it was kids messing around or just his eyes playing tricks on him he says no I'm telling you I saw a ghost & there was just a creepy feeling that he couldn't explain & that he wasn't a believer until then.It almost annoys me it happened to him!

my own experience
by: Anonymous

I was with four friends. It was our first time at Sweet Hollow Road, June 2010. It was around 11PM and we had been driving for about an hour already. We decided to try the trick under the bridge one last time befoe heading home. We shut off the car and lights, but nothing happened. When we started to drive away, we all turned around and saw an unsual looking car behind us. It came out of nowhere. It appeared white and very old and it had a small, green flashing siren light in the dashboard. It kept flasing its headlights at us too. It continued to follow us with the siren on until we went around the bend near the cemetary. When we turned around, we realized that it was gone.
We had read about the myth about the supposed dead cop who still pulls people over and we thought there may have been a connetion. In any case, I have returned to Sweet Hollow Road a number of times since, but haven't seen or heard anything unsual since.

Dangerous to go to
by: Anonymous

I know a bunch of people who went here. Nobody saw anything paranormal, but they were almost injured. A group of people in their early 20s went with baseball bats and flashlights. They made the mistake of getting out of their car, the bridge nearby had guys throwing rocks and bricks at them and the car and broke their windshield, I guess they don't want people visiting. Then I heard deep in the woods they say the KKK hangs out and multiple people have seen a fire in the woods far away.

At any case if you do go DON'T get out of your car and bring flashlights, cellphone, and a bat for protection just in case.

that whole ara
by: Anonymous

I grew up in Plainview off Washington Ave behind Round Swamp Road. We used to go up to Mt. Misery and Sweet Hollow Road all the time as kids and scare ourselves to death, but i never really saw or heard anything. But that whole area around there can be weird. there was an old mansion called the Shattuck Estate, we would go up there and go into the house, it was abandoned, but strangely it was kept up, supposedly by an caretaker. One day we went up there and the care taker apparently tried to scare us by putting a doll with a mask and a bloody knife prop in it's body in a baby carriage at the foot of the big indoor staircase. We ascended the staircase one day passing the baby carriage. When we got to the landing, I swear i heard a slap and looked at the carriage and a white figure came up the steps and passed through my body

sweet hollow road man and dog
by: Andrew M

After visiting sweet hollow road for the first, my brother a friend and I decided to go back two months later. We went around midnight and stayed for about an hour. As it came close to one in the morning, a man and his dog walked slowly by and did not even pay notice to the car we were in on the side of the street. As we turned the car around to shine our lights on him he just walked into a random spot in the woods. This exact thing happened to my friends cousin a year earlier. This dog is what we think is the demon dog.

Adventures on sweet hallow road part 1
by: Brittany

I never heard of this road until my brother told me one night before bed of what he was planning to do. The next night I looked up the road online and read the legends. I didn't understand it at all. Yes, my brother did say the bridge pushed him and his friends but I wanted proof. The next time he went he clamied to have seen footprints on the road as they were being pushed under the bridge. Also with the legends of witches he said he saw a witch's hat as they were driving. The 3rd time I finally went with my 2 cousins and my brothers friend and my brother. I was totally mind-blown from what happend under the bridge. We then started driving some more. We smelled something buring (however it was mamorial day so it could have been anything, yet it was 11:00 at night) we then heard a dog barking and children screaming...That's when we left. I'm going tonight on Mt.misery to so until then this story is to be continued...

nice story
by: Anonymous

I see you are new to the story telling business. You may want to work on your approach. If you want people to believe your story, you have to actually tell the story like it truly happened to you. You have to put your emotions of that night into it. Clearly, you have much to learn.

by the way, I could tell you were making it up after the first few sentences. I am not going to tell you what it was, but it is pretty obvious. And it is not because I am a non-believer in these types of things, I actually made it to this site because of something that happened to me.

If you are trying to get into the story telling business... you have some work to do. Good luck!

Legends are as old as the hills
by: Anonymous

The legends of Sweet Hollow Road are many generations old. I hung out up there when I was a kid and I'm in my late 60s now.

The most common stories at that time had to do with a Cholera epidemic where many babies that died from that disease were buried in the cemetery just south of the parkway. If you went into the cemetery at night, you supposedly could hear the babies crying.

The other story was about a crazy farmer that would come out of the woods with a pitch fork and chase you down the road. We never saw anything unusual, but the area always held a big attraction to us.

I've probably traveled that road a couple hundred times in my lifetime and it has become more and more dangerous because of the speed that everyone wants to go through there at and the proximity of the trees to the edge of the roadway. Some of my younger friends tell me that what they like to do now is to run through there at night with their headlights OUT. How crazy can you get.

Recently a friend of mine hit a tree there and was killed. His four passengers also were severely injured. It wasn't alcohol, it was speed. Were his headlights on? I don't know, but I do know that I will never travel that road again at night, and it's not because of dangers created by the dead or the ghosts, but rather by the living...

White legs...
by: Christopher Jr

I think it was 2005 my friend Rob and I had nothing to do, we had just graduated it was summer time. We had a friend who lived in the area of mt. Mis. We had been down sweethollow manny times we knew the stories but I didn't believe them. We parked under the imfamous bridge and parked we didn't do the myth right and nothing happened. We continued up the rd @ an almost roll, after we passed the field on the right Rob slammed on the brakes nd a pair of white legs passed in front of his car about 10 feet away. I grabbed my head with both hands in panic like the world was ending. I asked Rob if he was seeing what I was seeing and he said, "legs man". There was no body. We had spent a min or 2 discussing wat we had seen nd were freaked out. Wefinally started up the rd excited from wat we had seen when he stopped again,A little girl. A little girl, she was standing 20ft off the rd 2 the left befor the old 3 rail wooden fence starts. She was wearing a school uniform, blue skirt, white collard shirt, blue sweater vest short brown hair nd was wearing glasses. I wasn't much afraid from watching Ghost shows nd being American Indian I feel things I can't explane I didn't feel a threat. I told Rob 2 ask her a question but instead he drove away. We had returned the next night nd it was raining. We traveled up the rd again but saw nothing. I still sometimes drive up the rd nd tell whoever I'm with, "that's the spot" they get freaked out because I don't explain y I say that but still 2 this day me nd Rob agrEe on what we saw.. I believe ur daughter saw the little girl. Not a doll. I 100% believe her. I wish I could see it again. I contacted L.I.P.I I believe it was called telling them about my incounter but received an Email back telling me they don't bring civilians on paranormal investigations. I wish they would go investigate the rd. I.KNOW what I saw nd BELIEVE.

scary but true story from a sane 23 year old
by: Anonymous

my friends and i have been going to mt misery for years, since highschool really, to get a scare. we used to read up on paranormal on the computer and get freaked out and curious so we would go drive around. a few times it was not paranormal that scared us but real people. we had a car riding so close behind us i had to speed up and they followed us a long way at too high a speed for the winding roads, we were scared and were about to call the police when they suddenly veered off and left us alone, on the pitch black road again. we left. another time we were on sweet hollow when a truck stopped dead infront of us and shut his headlights off. if youve been there you know its about a car and a half sided road. you have to be careful and move over at a stop to pass eachother. we didnt know if he was going to shoot us or what, an old man. i mustered the courage to try and fit around him which i did and slowly we wedged by, he stared at us the whole time. he stayed there until he vanished out of sight in our rear view. weird. the only paranormal thing that has happened to me there was driving up to the fallen trees at the begining of the woods at mt misery rd. 2 friends of mine with me, one girl one guy.. we were just driving and talking when out of the corner of my eye, while driving, i saw a big black dog running down one of the driveways, he went right past the garbage pails on the curb and thats when i realized he wasnt stopping. scared i might hit him, i jammed on my brakes, thats when we heard the thud. he ran smack into the side of my car. i saw his body on the ground through the window. we were so freaked i made our guy friend get out and see if it was dead. he was freaked but got out anyway, he walked around to the my side of the car, looked confused, walked around the back of the car, hopped in and said "GO". i listened, headed towards sweet hollow rd to leave instead of to mt misery. we were silent until i turned on old country rd. thats when i asked him what happened. he hesitated and said "there was nothing there.. no dog...". it was unbelievable, i know what i saw, we all heard the thud. but nothing. it was crazy, weird, i felt saddened, i dont know why. we didnt go back for a while. a few times we went we even got out and walked, i dont recomend that, its dangerous to walk in the woods and in any area at night. wanted to share my stories. its such an intriguing area.. it has history. no matter what happened there, it always drew us back..

Mount Misery is a scary place
by: Anonymous

The last time I went to Mount Misery was about 10 years ago. My sister, our mutual friends and I used to love to drive through there for a good scare. We had never actually seen anything unusual but would play pranks on each other for some laughs. That is until one night when we took two cars. My sister was in the car with 2 of ours friends and I was in a car with one of our friends. Both cars took seperate routes to try and scare each other. However, the car I was in somehow wound up on a main road and the car my sister was in got lost in the side roads of Mount Misery. While the car I was in was driving on the main road, I saw a little girl who was pale as anything walking without any shoes on. She was there one minute and then gone the next. I knew she was a ghost. And at the same time I saw this little girl, the car my sister was in was in a minor fender bender. Needless to say, we didn't go back there for anymore scares.

spooky night
by: Anonymous

hi my name is taylor and i am 11. one night i was with my mom and my boyfriend and we were by the cemetary by were mary hatchet was buried. so i rolled down my window and took a flashlight and shined it on her grave cuz i had hered that if you shine a light on her grave then you will see a image of her coming out of her grave from whats he looked like when she died. so i shine a light and i see this white clody image coming from the grave and i was looking carefully and start to see this wierd thing walking towards my car so i quicly role up my window and saw these hand print printed on my window, so i started to think that the story could of been true.

another time i went on sweet hollow road i saw a little girl walking down the road alon with scratches all over her. so me and mu cousins followed it and before our eyes we saw it disapere out of nowhere and we drove off and saw it again except with a dog walking beside the child. we started to worry so we made a u turn and heard these voices in the car and we screamed and ran out of the car until it was clear. my dad ended up picking us up and we went home with the foot prints walking across the dirt in front of us. we ended up staying out at my aunts house and ended up being a peacful night.

My experience at SHR
by: Anonymous

About 11 years ago ... my friends and I would make the trip to Sweet Hollow Road ( I was living in Brooklyn at the time ).. On one occasion we seen a dog in the woods just starting at us. We tried to spook it but nothing worked. Not paranormal at all. But the next and last time we went there.... we parked the car near the stables and got out and walked. We heard children laughing in the woods all around us. We had camera's etc. but of course nothing came up. It scared all of us and we havent been back since at night. Who knows?

Hmmm, I Don't Know...
by: BassGuyGG

Hi Mark,

For years I have been reading that Sweet Hollow Road is a hotspot of paranormal activity. There are several urban legends (I won't repeat them here) such as "Crazy Mary" and the "Ghost Cop."

I'm sorry to report that I live on Old Country Rd. right off Sweet Hollow. I've been in my house more than twenty years. I've driven and walked Sweet Hollow Road all hours of the day and night. You can understand that with the canopy of trees making the road so dark even during the day, people think the road is spooky. But I have never, ever seen anything resembling paranormal activity on that road.

I know that area around Chichester road can seem a bit labyrinthine. I've gotten lost in there a few times myself. You think you're going one way and you are actually going another. It can be a bit deceptive.

I'm a bit skeptical but knowing that there are many things in the Heavens and the Earth we mortals don't understand, I have always tried to keep an open mind about ghosts. I've never seen one but I would be open to engaging one if I ever made contact.
