Haunted Long Island at the Cold Spring Harbor Library!

Do ghosts inhabit the supposed haunted houses of Long Island?

Join Eco-Photo Explorers as they uncover the spine-tingling stories of our resident ghosts, ghouls and monsters. In this program, you will learn the real story behind “The Amityville Horror”, and will hear about Oyster Bay's haunted Raynham Hall. In addition, we will explore numerous other hauntings across Long Island, while also examining the stories behind the Montauk Monster, and the rumors of strange animal experiments at Plum Island. This is a fun-filled program sure to raise more than a few goose bumps!

“Originally the ancestral home of Native Americans and later settled by Europeans during the 1600s, Long Island is rich in history and loaded with folklore, myths and urban legends. From ancient Native American burial grounds to remnants of the Revolutionary War to Gatsby-era mansion estates, Long Island is hallowed ground - the stage for countless triumphs and tragedies throughout the centuries. It’s no wonder some tales have thrived just as long, along with past inhabitants.” – LongIslandPress.com
