Name	Description
Alpine Cemetery	Usually on rainy nights, when driving or walking by the cemetery you can see dark ghostly figures at one moment and look back and then they're gone. When walking inside of it, you may sometimes feel cold spots in some parts of the cemetery, usually near the far end in the back. People have reported seeing three figures on rainy nights and then they'd mysteriously disappear.
Billop House	(foot of Hylan Blvd)- occasional apparitions of several Revolutionary War era ghosts in the house and garden.
International eatery	In the early 90's the site of a female apparition was sighted walking into the kitchen. The desk was also said to contain a spirit which opened and closed drawers. The building is now Dale's coffee bar
St. Mary's Cemetery	Is said to be haunted by three World War I & II soldiers. People walking or driving by who look in the cemetery see three dark figures standing and when they look back the three soldiers are gone. Other residents who visit the cemetery say they've felt cold spots in the area where the soldiers were buried. Also while walking by the graves people have heard the sound of running feet on leaves and only to find no one there.
The Conference House, next-door to The Billop House	It's said that the house is haunted by Redcoats- when walking through it you can feel someone tap your shoulder or you can hear the faint sound of singing.
The Proprietary house	Many workers there have seen the boy, who appears to be pointing to the third floor, for some reason unknown.
Tottenville	The woods at the end of Hylan Blvd, on Satterlee, were once an old Indian burial ground. If the trails are followed properly, you will come across an in-ground well, or DUMPING AREA, but be careful, DON'T GET TOO CLOSE! It is said that there are still spirits wandering around what is also now a car graveyard.
