Montauk Manor

Montauk Manor was built in 1927 by Carl Fisher as a luxury resort on Signal Hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The Tudor Revival building thrived briefly before the Great Depression, was taken over by the Navy during WWII, closed in 1964, and sat in disrepair for nearly 20 years before conversion to condominiums in the mid-1980s. Native Americans, possibly including Chief Wyandanch, were believed to be buried on Signal Hill before construction desecrated the burial ground.

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.
