Montauk Manor

Carl Fisher built this Tudor Revival resort in 1927 on Signal Hill overlooking the Atlantic. It thrived briefly, got taken over by the Navy in WWII, closed in 1964, and sat neglected for nearly two decades before becoming condominiums. The hill was reportedly a Native burial ground before construction disturbed it.

The Montauk Manor's haunted reputation traces to the disturbed Native American burial ground. Guests and employees report seeing a Native American chief in full headdress, particularly on the third and fourth floors, though nothing appears on surveillance cameras. Visitors hear chanting and drumming. One woman was allegedly lifted five feet off her bed, prompting her to move to the first floor. An entity slammed a bathroom door on a visitor's foot and moved furniture around their room while they were at dinner. A woman in 1920s attire, perhaps a former guest from the hotel's glamorous era, has been spotted. Descendants of the Montaukett tribe held a ceremony to help spirits cross over, and activity has reportedly decreased.
