Jen, Fred, Brian, and I decided to take a trip to Sweet Hollow Road Saturday night. As many Long Islanders may know, Sweet Hollow Road is one of the most haunted areas on the island. We took about a half-hour to forty minutes in the area. Fred was able to catch some moments on camera.

First stop was the cemetery by the Northern State overpass. We stopped to record a conversation with the ghosts with a tape-recorder and I was trying to listen to static (in the car) to see if I could hear anything. With the tape recorder, we will investigate the recorded audio when we come back. So far, there was no evidence of a conversation at that time.

We then went to see if anything would happen under the Northern State Parkway underpass. Some say if you put your car in neutral  under the bridge ad/or honk your car three times, you will pulled up hill by ghosts. That never happened to us, we kept going.

If you know the story of “Mary’s Grave,” this one might be familiar to you. If you don’t know the story of “Mary’s Grave,” Mary appears on the side of the road walking or will jump out in front of a car. As we were slowly going through Sweet Hollow Road, I witnessed a white, looking figure walking away from the road in the distance for only a few seconds. No one else agreed that they saw it, but I swear that I saw a moving object. I’m not saying this was the ghost of Mary, but I did saw a white, human-figure walking between two trees until it disappeared.

At this point, we noticed something wrong with Fred’s camera. Everytime he would start or ending his recording session of his camera, the lens would pick up a white picture for about 2 seconds. After leaving the area, the problem no longer occurred.

Now here is something that was odd, very odd. On our way back from Jericho Turnpike, I had some problems with the acceleration of the car. I was cruising about 30 miles per hour and out of no where the car began making noises and I let go of the accelerator and the car was then cruising at a smooth speed of 20mph, I then speed up again and it sounded I was fighting with the engine and I let go of accelerator at 25mph and then it went back to 20mph. It felt like the car wanted to cruise at 20 mph although the Cruise mode was off. After pressing the cruise button several times so that it would be off again, the problem went away. There have been no stories like this one posted anywhere on the internet

After making a full trip of Sweet Hollow Road from Old Country Road to Jericho Turnpike and back, we decided to take a trip to Misery Road, which is also known for its ghostly and “alien” stories. We decided to stop again at the dead end and again record with a tape recorder a conversation, and I stayed in the car to try to find a static frequency on the radio to see if we can hear something. Fred was trying to make the ghosts “angry” while recording on the tape recorder.

After Fred and Jen came back to the car, we were discussing where to next (which was home). Now this was the spookiest part of the evening . When Anthony pulled his car out of park to drive, the car began to move all on its own at a high speed of at least ten miles an hour uphill without pressing the accelerator,  it also felt like someone was pushing the car. Everyone at first didn’t believe me until I showed them that cruise wasn’t on and my foot wasn’t on the accelerator. Fred, which was already recording it on video camera, grabbed his tape recorder and began asking questions. He asked questions like “are you the one moving Anthony’s car,” “are you angry at us.” He repeated the questions and several others. After one of the questions asked, Fred believes he hears a evil “argh” sound.

So that was our trip to Sweet Hollow Road. Next time we go, we will be more prepared with additional equipment and such. Was I spooked out, nope, but I think Jen was with the acceleration of my car when were at Misery Road.
