janet m horanAnthony, I just looked it up and here is what it says:
There is a lake called Lake Ronkonkoma that is very deep. It is believed by Kids in Sayville that it is bottomless. Before the white man civilized the area, there was a tribe of Secatogue Indians living in what is now Sayville. In this tribe there was a princess. She was in love with an Indian prince from what is now Bayport who were Poospatuck, on the other side of Brown's River where she was forbidden to go. One day they snuck off together to Lake Ronkonkoma and took their canoe to a romantic spot after dark to make love. The spirits did not approve of this, as people on opposite sides of the river should not mix. So the boat sunk, and their bodies fell forever and ever down into the bottomless lake.
So every year the angry Indian princess kills two lovers and pulls their souls to the bottom of the lake. And every year at least one young couple dies. -

HOW ABOUT THIS ONE
Lady of Lake Ronkonkoma, New York
A common version of this myth tells us that an Indian princess who was in love with a young Brave of her tribe drowned herself in the Lake while she was morning the murder of her soon to be husband by a white settler living in Ronkonkoma.
While walking into the water towards her death she swore that she would avenge the death of her lover by every year taking the life of a man.
