Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a paranormal investigator? Well, now is your chance!

Become a part of a paranormal investigation, just like the ones you see on television and YouTube! On October 24 , the L.I. Paranormal Investigators are coming to the Village Green in Cutchogue for an exclusive tour of the Wickham House and the Old House. The Wickham House is the house that harbored the axe murderer Nicholas Bain, who brutally murdered Francis and James Wickham in 1854. The Old House has stood on the site for over 300 years, has housed enslaved people, and has an interesting Revolutionary War story. After the team has had a chance to collate, examine, and interpret the findings, a follow-up of what was found will be presented in the spring. Follow-up from last year’s event shows evidence of haunting in the buildings you will be visiting. You will learn about the history of each building, witness a live paranormal investigation, and learn about the scientific methods that are used. There are two sessions, with one starting at 6 pm and the second at 8 pm. Report to the Schoolhouse and dress warmly. Register for the 6 pm or 8 pm tour. Meet at the School House on the Cutchogue Village Green for the introduction. Purchase ticekts online at https://events.com/r/en_US/tickets/ghost-hunting-on-the-village-green-southold-october-1075893 . Tickets are $60.00+ ticketing fees . Tickets may be available at the door, but it's better to purchase in advance in case the event sells out.

Thanks to Mattituck-Cutchogue High School for sending us nine great students who worked hard learning, cleaning, and conserving the stones in the Cutchogue Old Burying Ground. Hosted by Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Council & Museums, the Stewart Preservation presented a conservation and treatment workshop earlier today to help us restore the Old Burial Ground. Professional preservationists Joel Snodgrass and Zach Studenroth taught burial stone history and how to clean, straighten, and repair headstones from different historic periods. In the second part, they put to use what you learned. The workshop served as the Community Service Day for Mattituck Cutchogue School Seniors and we got a lot done, thanks to them!

If you missed our cover story in the northforker, you can read it online at https://northforker.com/2026/10/house-of-mystery-the-hidden-history-inside-southold-towns-oldest-residence/. Writer Stephanie Villani did an excellent job recounting many of the stories that surround the Old House on the Village Green.

Built centuries ago, the imposing, nearly noir-hued “Old House” on the village green in Cutchogue still hides myriad secrets. In the current age of shiplap, wraparound decks, chef’s kitchens and spa bathrooms, many might not give much thought to what it was like to live in a Colonial-era house...
