  Kids in the woods?

  I saw a group of people go into the woods from the parking lot in the West Hills nature preserve. I was looking to go in there myself, but once I saw a group of guys with flashlights, I decided against it. I was alone, and I just wound up sitting in the lot, looking up every so often to check if they were coming out any time soon. This was in the pouring rain so it was a little hard to see. But I noticed that there was 6 people, and something behind them when they did finally head out more than an hour later. I’m really not sure what it was. But I saw someone here left a comment just a few days ago and it could’ve been the same day that I saw it. If that’s the case, I pray that you had a 7th member and I just miscounted. Because there was absolutely something else there, but it didn’t look like a person from where I was. It looked more like a foggy silhouette. My family has been hiking the trails there for years but I had never gone in at night, now I felt that I had to. I went in once I saw their lights far down the trail, and it suddenly became very cold. I just went back there today, hence my writing of this review, and found multiple dead animal remains where those people had come from. It looked like a rabbit and a squirrel. I’m writing this from within the forest at around 9am on a morning hike. I didn’t find anything that night when I went in, but today was bone chilling. If it wasn’t that group of people that did this, I fear for them. Something was with them in there.

  We heard voices

  A group of six of us have been exploring haunted areas on Long Island, but we haven't seen or heard anything so far. We hiked from West Hills to the top of Jayne Hill, then back. We went during the day, then at night. The day was normal, but that night, in the pouring rain, the guy all the way in the back heard feint noises. I took off my hood to listen, then a minute later, the two of us heard a clear "go" and turned to face each other. It was a high pitched voice, ans even though we were shoulder to shoulder, it sounded like it was between us. We heard it three times, each less than a minute apart, turning each time, then sped up our pace. A third in the group heard a noise with us as we continued up, similar to the first three. We reached the top and all six of us heard a deeper voice by the rock at the peak. We continued back down the path, and maybe a minute in, two of us heard the ghost say my first name. We picked up the pace again, and towards the middle, two of the others heard a deep voice say 'help.' Towards the end, right where the two of us heard the first noise, the same two of us heard the noise again. The voices sounded human, but there were at least two distinct ones: a deep male voice and a higher pitched voice, maybe a child. We used an EMF Detector from the apple store and heard a few random spikes around 200, mostly aligning with the voices.

  One of the only places i’ve experienced something

  Me and all of my friends have recently been visiting “haunted” locations we’ve been to sweet hallow/mt misery road, kings park, and mary’s grave we decided to visit this spot just to be scared at night but didn’t expect to experience anything since there wasn’t a lot of stories about this place the second we got there all of us got scared which is kind of unusual for us and myself but we decided to go anyways as we were walking up to the path my girlfriend started getting very anxious and kept saying she had a bad feeling we kind of just brushed this off because she has bad anxiety in the dark and we continued on and we heard a legend about hearing “walt whitmans whistling” in the forest and throughout the walk some of our friends would whistle and mess with us but nothing was too scary until we got to the end of the path once we got there we heard constant talking deep in the forest mind you this was at 11:00 pm and we were the only people out there and as we were leaving we heard a whistle in the forest behind us i even caught it on camera and you can clearly hear it i would say it was one of my friends messing with us but i was the only person in the back and there was not a single person behind me all of us ran as fast as we could to the car

  "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
