Monsters, Madness and Mayhem: The Mount Misery Story!
Part Two
Witnesses say it would catch up to them, then either vanish or run "through" them only to fade into nothing. Witnesses have also seen people like the HeadHunter and hooded figures.
THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T ACCEPT BLUE CROSS
Just when everything seemed to be settling down on the Mount, the government decided to build a military hospital there at the start of World War II.
According to witnesses who worked at the infirmary, the structure was imposing for a compact facility. Just four stories high, it could only accommodate about 150-200 patients, but everything was state of the art for that time.
Designed as a special use facility, soldiers brought there were those who required multiple surgeries, long term care and extended recovery. It was thought that the peace and quiet of the Mount would be perfect for such a facility. However, the need for it was overestimated.
No more than 75 soldiers were ever treated in the hospital at one time. By the end of World War II, the facility became obsolete and too expensive to maintain. After remaining staff members were either transferred or laid off, the hospital was closed and boarded up. Then, something strange happened.
In 1947 the hospital showed signs of reopening. Boards came off the windows and crews cleaned the place up. Cars and people came and went during all hours of the day and night. No one in uniform could be seen.
From 1947 until 1955, the hospital came under the control of some unknown government agency. Although I have been unable to locate a single person who worked there during that time that is willing to talk about it, I may have discovered what the facility was being used for...
Some declassified government documents speak of experiments that the CIA and various Military Intelligence Services carried out involving mind altering drugs. It was no secret that the government was concerned about brain washing techniques developed by the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans.
To better understand mind control procedures and possibly develop medicinal defenses against brain-washing, military personnel were given various amounts of mind-altering drugs with and without their knowledge and subjected to brainwashing methods.
In the 1990s President Clinton revealed that a similar program was carried out by the CIA in Canada beginning in 1980.
Canadian psychiatric patients were given drugs and subjected to brsinwazhing techniques with the permission of Canadian authorities. Any that could be found were compensated by the U.S. in the 1990s.
More then a few people mentioned and recalled the military hospital that existed on the Mount during the war. I was discovered old concrete steps deep in the Mount beyond a blocked off trsil leading to a ruin.
I met one man who came to one of my lectures with an amazing story to tell. He told me that in the early 1950s he became strangely ill while an Officer at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. He experienced bizarre hallucinations and went from being perfectly healthy to gravely ill.
The Officer was transported to the hospital on Mount Misery. He recalls being there, but little else. “It was like being in a constant dream state. I never felt fully awake. I was constantly fatigued…tired. They kept giving me medicine.”
He was kept there for five months. Then in one twenty-hour period, he suddenly recovered. Restricted to just one small set of rooms in the facility, he never saw more then five people. “They were dressed like doctors and nurses, but had no insignia or military identification.
When he was taken out of the hospital through a back service porch, he saw a sign that read, AREA 5. When the Officer arrived back at Fort Bragg, he made some very discreet inquiries. A friend and intelligence officer told him that Area 5 had something to do with Psychological Warfare experimentation and that he should not ask any more questions.
A few years later, the Officer retired and decided to go back to Long Island to see if the hospital was still open. It had been closed and sealed by that time. As he asked locals about the hospital, they claimed to see lights and hear noises coming from the facility late at night and early in the morning.
More then a few people phoned Police saying that they heard men’s voices coming from inside the old building and calling for help. I was told the same thing whenever I asked those living in the area about the old military hospital.
MORE MYSTERIOUS THAN EASTER ISLAND
The Officer eventually decided to live in nearby Melville and that’s how we crossed paths. He came out to a local library lecture I was giving on the paranormal during the time I was investigating the Mount in the late 1970s.
The so-called Haunted Hospital was torn down in the mid 1970s after a couple of kids got injured when they broke into the decrepit building and fell down an old elevator shaft. Today you can still see the stone steps leading up to where the building was, but they’re tough to find.
STEPS TO WEIRDNESS CENTRAL HOSPITAL ???
Although reported for years, UFO sightings began in earnest on Mount Misery in the 1960’s. At least that’s when people started to report them. More than a few teens who went there for some park and spark in the woods reported seeing disc shaped objects landing and taking off. Others described seeing a ‘second moon’ in the sky, but UFOs may have been the least weird things seen on the Mount in those days.
Mothman Statue, Point Pleasant, West Virginia
A FLYING NIGHTMARE
Several people claim to have seen or had contact with a sort of flying monster with glowing red eyes known as The Mothman Although barely mentioned in John Keel’s timeless classic, THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, the creature’s Long Island visits occurred on a fairly regular basis in and near a small cemetery just off of Sweet Hollow Road.
In case you’re wondering what I think of the Hollywood’s Mothman film, don’t waste your time. It’s a mere shadow of the book and concentrates more on the Mothman sightings and encounters in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

Along with sightings of the creature at Mount Misery, there were sightings of and encounters with men dressed in dark suits whom most call the Men In Black.
THE MEN IN BLACK ARE BACK (NOT ANOTHER FILM SEQUEL, THE REAL ONES!)
The late 1970’s brought a new round of UFO and M.I.B. sightings and encounters. Fortunately, I was able to spend a good deal of time investigating those incidents. A very sane looking woman who lived in a large home on the Mount claimed she had been sucked out of her second story by a UFO. It was interesting to note that when I saw the window it looked as if the frame had been somehow burned out of position, and placed neatly on the ground some twenty-five feet below without breaking a single piece of glass.
This reminded me of the time that Whitley Strieber (author of COMMUNION) told me he had been taken out of his New York City apartment by UFO Occupants. They apparently managed to remove a window several stories up, placing it against his bed without so much as a crack in the glass.
The woman that claimed she was sucked out of her window was later visited by two MIB’s whom she claimed told her to shut up about the incident. The MIB’s weren’t alone. Dark colored helicopters and planes constantly over flew the Mount during my time there in the 1970’s.
On several occasions, National Guard Troops suddenly decided to hold maneuvers in the woods. At least that's who we think they were. Afterward, we found an empty metal ammunition box right where they had been, but no spent shells.
WHAT ARE THEY HIDING ???
In the late 1980’s, during yet another flap of UFO sightings and Encounters, whole sections of the West Hills Park and other parts of the Mount were sealed off. Large concrete barriers were erected and debris dumped at access points to open or undeveloped areas to keep people and off road vehicles out.
Without explanation, police started showing up on weekends to keep idle UFO watchers and those bent on exploring the Mount as far away from the area as possible.
NO WONDER BEEF PRICES WENT UP
Animal mutilations sometimes occur in conjunction with UFO sightings. In 1989 I received a call from an employee working at Bethpage Village Restoration, just a short distance from the Mount. This is a place where many of Long Island’s most historic homes have been relocated to create an environment that illustrates what life was once like in the area during the 1700’s and 1800’s.
During what seemed like a national outbreak of odd cattle deaths and mutilations, he told me that several animals in the Bethpage Restoration had been killed and strangely mutilated.
My investigation showed that at least two cows had met untimely and unlikely deaths in the Restoration Village. This clearly followed a trend of animal mutilations occurring in conjunction with UFO sightings in the area going all the way back to the Native Americans.
Although nobody had planned it that way, a large community Library in the area of the Mount asked me to come and present one of my UFO Seminars in 1991 just around the time of the mutilations and when UFO sightings in the area were making news.
There were far more requests for seating then seats and I spent hours answering questions after my seminar. I’m sure that I gained as much information from the stories people told me as I gave out on that day.
Although my seminar set a record for attendance at that Library for any event they’ve ever had, I will never be speaking there again. The Librarian in charge of programs told me that she had been warned by important people in the community not to have me back.
Mount Misery is just one of those places that can’t seem to quietly fade into history. People move there in hopes of getting away from the craziness of New York City that’s less than an hour away, only to find the Mount’s own version of lunacy.
You can’t draw conclusions about a place like that, you can just have the time of your life studying it! Oh yeah, Amityville: Mount Misery Road ...Really? If you want to be scared visit the place.
Here is the narrative of a visitor in 2023…
“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”

Cerelia, a museum employee with a penchant for the obscure and a healthy dose of skepticism tempered by an insatiable curiosity, had been cleaning the newly acquired collection of ancient artifacts. She was meticulous, and painstaking in her work, a sharp contrast to the hurried pace of the city outside the museum walls. She liked the quiet solitude of the museum, a world apart from the noisy urban jungle. She found solace in the relics of the past, each object whispering a story of bygone eras.

The seeds of her self-doubt had been sown in her early years. She'd been relentlessly bullied in school for being different, for her passion for gaming, which had been dismissed as a “boy thing.” That hurt had left deep scars. Creating Lemonade had been a shield, a way to deflect the negativity she faced in the real world. It was a safe space where she could be celebrated for her skills, her wit, and her personality, instead of facing ridicule.
