I grew up in mattituck and there are a few things that don't ring true.

If Mattituck is considered on of the most haunted areas of New York the residents are largely un-aware of it. The town of Southold (of which Mattituck is a part) does indead have many supposed hauntings, but Mattituck itself doesn't have any that are locally known. There is only one widely knows Haunting, secifically in the local community theater. However, its well known that that haunting was imagined up in rather recent times as a way to scare and entertain new members of the theater group.

I've removed the references to hauntings. They were made by an anonymous user who also seemed to be making suspicious "contributions" to other pages for LI towns. I've also removed the claim that Mattituck is one of the smallest towns in New York and Long Island, as is not even in the top 5 smallest towns on LI. --Thelimulus 02:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The bit that says "the last of the potato farmers were born in the 1920's and died in the 1990's" is diliberatly misleading. For one thing its down right false, there are many potato farmers in town who are quite a bit younger than that and all alive and well at the present date. In fact there is an active potato farm just a block or so from the house I grew up in (located at the corners of Reeve RD and E. Mill RD). I personally know of at least one family still involved in potato farming as of the 1990's (by the name of Lindsey) withing the hamlet of mattituck.
