Raynham Hall, unsurprisingly, is another Long Island property, this one located in Oyster Bay, where paranormal activity has been reported. This mansion was the home of Robert Townsend, a spy whose network supplied intelligence to George Washington during the American Revolution. Yaphank’s Woods and the Potter’s Field Cemetery, a burial site for at least 150 years, is another place where hauntings have been reported. Katie’s Bar in Smithtown has reported poltergeist activity, and the owner believes it could be the spirits of those who experienced a fire on the property in 1909, when it was a hotel.
In Farmingdale, a creature known as the “Long Island Devil” has been reported haunted old Quaker cemeteries. This entity is supposedly over six feet tall and wearing a cape. Many claim it is the guardian spirit of a young girl doomed to haunt the cemeteries forever.
One of the strangest Long Island paranormal sites is the Hermitage if the Red Owl. Adding to this bizarre tale is the fact that where the Hermitage once stood is now a Checkers in Brentwood. Legend has it that Charles Codman spotted a red owl one night while closing a window, and the bird told him that it was the spirit of Native American chief killed by an enemy, and that his bones lay in a nearby ravine. The owl asked Charles to find the remains and give them a proper burial, which Charles did. The owl appeared days later to bless him, and according to some, there is a dip in the Checkers parking lot where the ravine once was.
