In addition to being located right next to Mount Misery, a ghastly location in its own right, Sweet Hollow Road is the site of several ghostly legends. The most tragic among them states that a school bus full of children was driving along the Northern State overpass bridge above Sweet Hollow Road on a snowy day. After its driver lost control, the bus skidded off the bridge, killing everyone inside. It is said that if you stop your car under the bridge and put it in neutral the spirits of the deceased children will push you forward. That same bridge is also the subject of another story in which three boys allegedly hanged themselves; if you look up at the overpass while driving underneath it you may catch a glimpse of their bodies.

Another legend involves a day camp which supposedly existed along the road during the 1930s. Some of the children who went to the camp are said to have been abused or even killed, and their spirits can occasionally be seen walking along the road wearing ‘30s clothing, though they quickly vanish. Sweet Hollow Road is also said to be home to a police officer who was shot and killed. His ghost still patrols the street and will pull motorists over from time to time, but after letting them go he turns about to return to his car only to have his head blown off by a shotgun.

Finally, the road is also the subject of one of the Mary’s Grave legends. This version takes place centuries after most of the others, but still involves a young woman named Mary who suffered a tragic fate. Mary is said to have gotten into a fight with her boyfriend while driving down the road and was then either pushed out of the car by him or jumped out of it herself; in either event, she was quickly hit by oncoming traffic and died. Some say you can still see a lady in white walking along the side of the road, and that she will jump in front of your car when you pass. Mary’s grave and tombstone are also alleged to be located in a small cemetery on Sweet Hollow Road.

ENCOUNTERS?

I have primarily lived in New York, specifically Long Island, for most of my life. This evening, I decided to go out with a close friend and capture the experience on video, which you can view on my YouTube channel: DEADLYHAUXXTEDDIVAA. A variety of unusual occurrences took place, from hearing children laughing to witnessing police lights, despite no officers being present nearby, along with the sound of police sirens. I also encountered the legendary figure known as the Lady in White; while I am not entirely certain if she appears in my footage, I can confirm that I saw her. Additionally, I noticed a figure, whom I believe to be named Mary, in my side mirror, and we both detected a foul odor in the air multiple times. Throughout the filming, I observed significant fluctuations in air temperature; despite it being winter, at times it felt as cold as Antarctica and at other times as warm as New Mexico. Overall, this was a remarkable experience that I highly recommend. I plan to return at 3 AM for another video!!

Cold Spots

So me and my friend tonight went to Sweet Hallow Rd by the trail before the bridge where the road is blocked off and it felt like winter type colder than usual in that spot specifically and my hair stood on the back of my neck in the woods/trail and I felt a feeling of dread and my friend felt like we should have dipped and we did! Also our phones kept glitching and blurring up, like something didn't want us to take photos their or wanted us to leave.

I was with my friend last week at this road. We were hearing stories about the past deathgs of all of thoise children, so we decided to see if they were true. At around 3 AM we went under the brige and went into nuetral. Then I heard kids laughing, I almnost took a big shiot because of hearing that ngl. I wish on everyones souls if they go here to live on and dont get haunted by the ghosts because they made me rip major ass in my friends car and I passed out... sooo my friend had to clean it up. It smelt bad so sorry twin. Anyways totally recommened going. Have a spookuy day!

Ghost cops polled me over

I was with my friends and we decided to go down Seet Hollow. At one point a cop came and polled me over. They had a tall hat. One on each window in the front and the one next to me was tall and the other was shorter and rond. They turned than we did and when we did the cops and the car were gone. Wen I got home I researched and it came up as a cop who got in a car crash and died. When they turn you see that have the head is gone. They were from the olden days so they looked different. I recommend you don't go in unless you want to really bad.

UMMM…

me and my friend went on a late night drive per usual and I never heard of this place but 2 days before I was driving and I saw this road and I had a weird idea of it and was stuck in my head because it reminded me of sleepy hallow the rapper but anyway she mentioned it to me but before she did a black cat cross the road. As we’re reading the story’s we were a lil freaked out and thought it wasn’t real. As I dropped her off at home she calls me saying her bathroom door was locked with the lights on. I got home and called her and out of no where a big crashed happen in my bathroom waking up my family. Next morning I wake up to go in my trunk of my car to get my stuff out from target and my drinks I brought weren’t there. No one had the key expect me and I even asked and everyone thought I was crazy. kinda weird how a pack of soda goes missing and now the bathrooms had issues. Seem like they were thirsty and had to use the bathroom. Idk seems very strange. We are going to visit this road respectfully tonight. I would not go here and disturb or disrespect these innocent souls that were lost at a such a young age.

gives me the creeps yo

My friend and I were driving down mount misery and sweet hollow around 2am last night. as soon as you get on mount misery rd it's like you're in a completely different place, it's extremely quiet and you can't see more than a foot or two in front of you even with headlights on. She was also be9ing evi and playing creepy music the whole time but even without it it's super eerie. as soon and we got onto sweet hollow, one of her headlights went out and when she fixed it it immediately went out again. we continued to drive the rest of the way up the road and we got to the bridge. She tried to stop underneath to go in neutral but i freaked out and wouldn't let her because i'm not tryna invite that stuff into my life yknow ? as we were under the bridge another car ewas coming from the opposite direction and one of their headlights went out. As soon as we drove to the spot where they were, our same headlight went out too ! this was when we were a bit closer to the cemetary so im unsure if it had to do with the bridge or with that. This place is incredibly eerie even if you don't see anything outright you can feel that it has some bad juju, i was genuinely praying the entire time and at one point under the bridge I felt really cold. If you're going to go here make sure to be respectful because there's a lot of tragic stuff that's gone down. definitely recommend tho.

Been there multiple times and never left without an experience

Whether you wanna believe it or not, places where a lot of energy is believed to be will manifest that energy. So the rumors and stories of the hauntings on sweet hollow road are not false, i have a few since i was drawn to this place for a while. Being 16 and dumb I would go alone to the park section and wander into the trails, bringing along my camera. One of these times I captured something I thought was a deer at the time, Looking back, I probably should've just ran and left. I also went under the bridge and put the car I was driving in neutral, definitely got pushed back but there was no hill, radio shut off, and the silence was deafening. I also noticed, since I commute on here quite a bit, that the puddle under the bridge is perpetually wet and always dripping even on the driest summer days. I never go on this road alone at night, there are so many other routes, it is a nice drive in the day but if you want to go there at night I recommend you pray the entire three miles because going in there unprotected will let you leave with a little evil spirit friend. Also, if you plan on going ghost hunting there, know what your doing, this place has a lot of history and the spirits residing there are calling upon you to go there hence your allure for this place. It is not solely you being fascinated it is literally because they are drawing you into the woods, which is very common among the people I talk about this with.

Sweet hollow road

Used to come to sweet hollow with my cousin every night at 12 midnight.. we finally saw something one night. One time we were chased out by trucks with hoods over their faces that looked like KKK. Another time we were on our way out and we passed a car that was pulled over with the interior light on inside and a blonde woman with her neck slit. And 2 guys in the back…. One more thing, we were in the graveyard and across from there in the road we saw a person in all black nothing was moving but his face. All distorted. Then something came out of the bushes and chased us out. One more I promise! This place is no joke!! We reached the dead end of mount misery and saw an old lady who looked very dirty collecting leaves. Leaves in her hair and everything. The second she saw us she froze and just stared. Never went back. Crazy !! & don’t even get me started on the whole bridge thing with the children hand prints.

Unsettling heavy presence

I work at the old property by rte 25 and all I can say is the energy at that place feels almost evil. I was in one of the rooms and there was no airflow but the door slammed closed very fast out of nowhere. My work friend asked me “who closed the door??” I told her I didn’t see anyone walk by or shut the door. Walking on the property and into the building just feels overall unsettling and heavy. Lots of energy that is stuck. Angry energy.
