Mount Misery is the highest, natural, point on land on Long Island. The name of Mount Misery is derived from the difficulty traversing the terrain with a horse drawn wagon.

The wooded, undeveloped area surrounding Mount Misery is supposedly haunted. As to the limits of the supposedly haunted area is largely a matter of conjecture and opinion. The polygon is drawn to the greatest possible extent of what constitutes Mount Misery.

There have been reports of unexplained phenomena occurring in this area for hundreds of years. Reports included: man-beasts (like Pan), demonic creatures, bodies hanging, men in black, UFO's , aliens and just plain old ghosts.

Belief in the area being haunted dates back to the Matnecock tribe, who believed the land was cursed.

  • Right, so, obviously the USGS is wrong too because their map confirms this as the location of "Mount Misery"......as is the terrain map of this site and wikipedia.........
