“A walk through the forest of Mount Misery at night will certainly do that. And perhaps if you go, you’ll see something that can’t be explained. ”
So true, Todd! And I should know…

spent many a boring night driving around with friends on long island and for some reason we ALWAYS ventured here. we did late night walks in the woods, got chased out by police, had a jeep comming towards us stop directly infront of my car and shut its headlights off and wait til i got the balls to drive around him.. my best gf peed her oants that night i believe. had a ghost dog run into the side of my car and hoped to see mary!! gotta love this place and in all its moonlight creepiness it is so beautiful in the morning sun<3
I grew up on Chichester Road. I *never* saw anything that frightened me-sorry, but I can say that it was a *great* place to grow up. I lived there through the whole decade of the 60′s and there were far fewer houses.My older brother and sister went camping in the woods all the time.
I spent time swimming, horseback riding, playing with my friends in the woods and skating on the ponds on Sweet Hollow-the upper pond was for figure skating and the bottom was used for hockey, though there must have been a lot of bumps.
It is sad to see the land being bought up by only the very, very rich-we moved in because it was thought to be a good place for us I think and of course you did have t have some $$ to not only build but buy 5 acres or 10 if you lived on the other side of the road, but not as much as you do now. Cops on Sweet Hollow?
I never saw one.
It must be so very different.
