Dug up this story about "The Massapequa Hell House" from the Long Island Advance a few years back. Never heard of it - seems like there's always one home in the neighborhood that gets the imagination going...
"Also known as “The Witch House” or “The Satan House” to some, the Massapequa Hell House is a unique Victorian home located at Daniel Rd. in North Massapequa. The brick mansion is complete with turrets, a “bleeding” maroon sidewalk and a hearse parked in the driveway; barred behind an eight-foot tall wrought iron fence that is perpetually chained.
The design of the house is architecturally symmetrical, down to the 25 plus windows that evoke a grinning devil face. The curtains are drawn at all times and are said to be coffin linings. Legend has it that candles suddenly illuminate in the
upstairs window when cars drive by the house. Supposedly, the number of candles in the window corresponds to the number of people in the car, and it is said to be very bad luck for those who see the candles.
Some say that the residents belong to a Satanist cult who chant behind closed doors. Others claim to have seen people emerge from the house, dressed head to toe in Gothic black. In actuality, the owners are believed to be a normal Christian family.
While the house may or may not be haunted, it is definitely unlike anything you have seen, and worth a drive by, but onlookers must proceed with caution. The block is patrolled during the Halloween season, and police cars are stationed in front of the house the day of. "
