The Stony Brook Grist Mill in Stony Brook, NY, is reportedly haunted by a "woman in white" and a man in colonial clothing. The mill was originally built in 1699, and the present structure dates to 1751 after the original was washed away by a flood. This long history and the various local legends contribute to its haunted reputation. According to the Ward Melville Heritage Organization, which runs a local ghost tour, the ghost of a woman in white is said to haunt the grist mill. There have been reports of an apparition of a man in colonial-era clothing appearing and then vanishing on the grounds. Some visitors have claimed to hear disembodied screaming coming from the area.
