Montauk Point Light

Montauk Point Light (commonly Montauk Point Lighthouse) stands at the easternmost point of Long Island, adjacent to Montauk Point State Park. It is described in the supplied material as the first lighthouse built within New York State and as the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the United States, and in 2012 it was designated a National Historic Landmark for its maritime significance in the early Federal period. Archival and promotional media from the 1960s and 1991 include footage and imagery of the lighthouse, indicating its role as a long‑standing regional landmark and tourist attraction. The research notes and sources provided are historical, archival, and promotional in nature. They document the lighthouse's construction-era prominence, its listing on the National Register of Historic Places, its National Historic Landmark status, and its presence in state tourism and archival film, but they do not report any hauntings, apparitions, poltergeist activity, or other paranormal phenomena. There are no named supernatural entities or folkloric traditions concerning the site in the supplied material. Any claim of paranormal activity would be speculative beyond these sources. Given the nature of the sources, the entry focuses on the lighthouse's documented historical and cultural significance rather than on any supernatural claims.
