PHOTOS: Is This Long Island's Most Haunted Site?

Urban legend calls this Mary's Grave, but is this Head of the Harbor structure something to fear?

Search for Long Island's most haunted structures on Google and you'll find a small stone structure at the beginning of Harbor Road in Head of the Harbor, just a few feet from the benches at .

According to lore it's called Mary's Grave, a site tied to a series of grisly stories about a woman supposedly named Mary who met her end somewhere on Long Island. Some say it was at this structure in Head of the Harbor, though other stories tie her to different haunted places on Long Island. There are only legends, though, and little verified info out there.

One woman we spoke to who was walking by the site this week said she did not know what the stone hut's history was, which from the looks of it seems more like it played some role as a piece of infrastructure than as a cottage. Though another person knew well about the site's ghostly claims and remembered driving by the structure at night when he was a teenager, out to get a scare with friends.

You tell us: Have any of you visited this site, and do you think it's haunted?

Tomorrow is the vote..vote NO NOW or our taxes are going to continue to sky rocket. Unless we doRead More something this town will continue to spiral down. More taxes aren't going to help. We need to cut expenses and get ourselves on a fiscally responsible plan.

Isn't that above the cap? Funny, when another news source mentioned 5 districts that are breakingRead More the cap they didn't mention Smithtown. Dn't worry, the district will bully and scare the parents into voting yes by threatening programs instead of doing what they need to do which is reduce administrative costs.

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be madeRead More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
