Hi Obiwan,
I have been enjoying your site for years now. I love to read about true hauntings and all that scary stuff. Thank you so much!
I also live on Long Island not far from Sweet Hollow Road, and I have been going there since I was about 15. It's pretty spooky! There are no lights on the road at all, it's surrounded by woods, and its EXTREMELY windey. Also, there's only enough room for one car at a time, so if another car is coming towards you, you have to pull all the way over to let them pass. There is a creepy old cemetary at the entrance and I had heard rumors that bloody Mary's grave was somewhere in the small cemetary. So, my friends and I decided to see if we could find it. One night we piled into my friends station wagon and drove down there. When we got there I was so afraid to get out of the car, I just had a bad feeling. But my friends somehow convinced me and we pulled the car over and got out. We had flashlights and bats just incase we ran into any cult members (i know, we were young and there were tons of rumors about cult activity in the woods around sweet hollow road) and we started looking at all the grave markers. We started getting discouraged when we didn't see Mary's name on any of them and we were about to go back to the car. I have to admit, I was relieved. But then, I can't really explain it, but there was a horribly scary noise coming from the woods right behind us! kind of like a scratchy voice saying ahhhh. we shined our flashlights into the woods but couldn't see anything. So we started running, and as we were running to the car from the back of the cemetary, my friend tripped and landed right in front of a grave that said MARY in big capital letters. We screamed and ran as fast as possible back to the car, practically falling over eachother. When we finally made it to the car, instead of continuing down the road,which has a lot more to offer than just the cemetary at the entrance, we turned our huge station wagon around on the tiny, windey, one lane road and sped outta there. The whole time I felt like there was something behind us watching.
To this day, I haven't gone back into the cemetary and I have no idea what really happened that night as far as what made that horrible noise, but it was PRETTY DAMN SCARY!!! So, for all of you who live on Long Island, if you haven't seen sweet hollow road, check it out! I have had a lot of creepy experiences in the woods surrounding the road and on the road itself.
