Lake Ronkonkoma
Coordinates: 40.827992°, -73.122228°
Lake Ronkonkoma is said to be haunted by the spirit of a Native American woman, who according to different legends either drowned accidentally or committed suicide during the mid-1600's. According to legend, a young Native American princess named Tuskawanta fell hopelessly in love with a handsome European woodsman who lived across the lake. Tuskawanta's father, however, refused to allow his daughter to wed the man. After seven years of sending the man secret love letters, the young woman ran away from her tribe to be with the woodsman. It's said that while paddling across Lake Ronkonkoma, Tuskawanta's canoe capsized, causing her to drown before reaching her love. Another version of the story claims that the woodsman rejected Tuskawanta, who was so heartbroken that she committed suicide by drowning herself in the lake. Ever since Tuskawanta's death, residents in the area claim that her vengeful spirit haunts Lake Ronkonkoma, waiting to lure young men into the watery depths to their inevitable death. Lake Ronkonkoma is the largest and deepest freshwater lake on Long Island, and was once referred to as "The Bottomless Lake" due to the fact that the water becomes pitch black at depths of 10 feet (3.1 meters) or less.

Tuskawanta's father, however, refused to allow his daughter to wed the man. After seven years of sending the man secret love letters, the young woman ran away from her tribe to be with the woodsman. It's said that while paddling across Lake Ronkonkoma, Tuskawanta's canoe capsized, causing her to drown before reaching her love. Another version of the story claims that the woodsman rejected Tuskawanta, who was so heartbroken that she committed suicide by drowning herself in the lake. Ever since Tuskawanta's death, residents in the area claim that her vengeful spirit haunts Lake Ronkonkoma, waiting to lure young men into the watery depths to their inevitable death. Lake Ronkonkoma is the largest and deepest freshwater lake on Long Island, and was once referred to as "The Bottomless Lake" due to the fact that the water becomes pitch black at depths of 10 feet (3.1 meters) or less.

Location Address: Port of Oswego Authority, E. 2nd Street, Oswego, New York
Constructed in 1934, the West Pierhead Lighthouse in Oswego, New York is said to be haunted by the spirits of six United States Coast Guard sailors who were killed after crashing their boat into a nearby breakwall. On November 30, 1942, a large blizzard descended onto Lake Ontario and the West Pierhead Lighthouse, where Boatswain's Mate First Class Karl H. Jackson was stationed for duty. After being stranded at the lighthouse for five days, a small break in the storm allowed for a rescue attempt. A rescue crew of eight men was dispatched to the lighthouse to deliver supplies and replace Karl H. Jackson with another guard. The crew arrived at the lighthouse and was able to successfully deliver the supplies, as well as retrieve Karl H. Jackson, who was replaced with a different guard. Upon beginning the return trip, however, a large wave struck the 30-foot long vessel, causing it to slam into the lighthouse with enough force to stall the ship's engine. The ship was then left powerless against the 60-mile-an-hour winds pushing it towards the lighthouse's eastern breakwall, which it eventually met with such force that six of its eight crew members were killed instantly upon impact, including Boatswain's Mate First Class Karl H. Jackson. According to legend, their spirits are said to haunt the lighthouse, and visitors frequently report witnessing apparitions and glowing orbs at night. Others report hearing the disembodied sounds of men screaming, as well as feeling the presence of an unseen entity. Sometimes also referred to as "West Pierhead Light Station," or "The Oswego Harbor Light Station."
