THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Stony Brook Grist Mill is associated with reports of paranormal activity linked to its centuries of operation. Visitors have described phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, shadow figures, and unexplained movement within the historic mill. It remains one of Long Island's haunted historic sites.
The historic Stony Brook Grist Mill was originally built around 1700, but was destroyed in a storm around 1750 and a new one was built on the same site. It is rumored to be haunted by a ghost of a pretty blonde woman wearing a white dress who is believed to have been a former mill apprentice. She is said to have a ghost dog as well, and witnesses also have noticed blasts of cold air that make the scale pendulums swing.
