Jayne’s Hill is the highest point on Long Island culminating at 400 feet above sea level. It has also been called High Hill or Oakley Hill and was a favorite place to visit for Walt Whitman, who was born nearby and enjoyed climbing the hill later in his life. It is also allegedly host to Walt Whitman’s ghost, which has been seen walking and heard singing along the connecting trail. There have even been rumors of UFO activity around the area.

  • "High Hill"

    As a child, teen, and in my 20s I spent hours and days wondering the dirt trails in the area and driving the roads. I never experienced anything paranormal but I was always drawn back there to explore more. I always felt comfortable and safe in those woods and up in the hills as if I was being watched over. Maybe this was the case! Perhaps I share the same love and respect of the place like Walt Whitman did and the sprits somehow knew this... I'll be back there one day.

  • Haunted Mt. Misery

    Been hanging out at jayne's Hill/Walt Whitman trails for years. Even now in 2017, I still go walking there at least 3 times a week. I am drawn to these woods. Over the years, I've had so many paranormal experiences. I have taken my wife and friends there to experience it as well. We saw various light anomalies, shadow figures, heard a woman's scream, voices, mists, had what sounded like someone running up behind us on the dirt trail, saw what looked like a few children by a fire hydrant in the middle of the woods. Got photo evidence from Melville Cemetery. Though I admit we were wrong in trespassing and we did get in trouble with Suffolk County Police for being in the cemetery. Thankfully the officer didn't arrest us and only gave us a $100 fine. The energy of Melville Cemetery is off the charts. I would love to go back to do an investigation legally of course. My crew and I are not vandals, we just have a huge interest in the paranormal. We respect the property and all those that are buried there. Anybody that may read this, please respect the law and do not trespass.

  • I went there years ago

    Me and a few buddies went one Halloween night and we parked under the bridge with the car in neutral and it started rolling as if someone was pushing it. It was the freakiest shit I've ever seen
