These reports often detail sightings of apparitions, unusual sounds, and inexplicable occurrences that have led to Sandyhills acquiring a reputation as a location of interest for those investigating the supernatural. A significant portion of the reported paranormal activity in Sandyhills is centered around maritime themes, reflecting its coastal location. Stories of spectral figures believed to be shipwrecked sailors or lost fishermen are common. Witnesses have described seeing shadowy forms near the shore, often at dusk or in foggy conditions, appearing to scan the horizon before vanishing. There have also been claims of disembodied voices, sometimes interpreted as cries for help or mournful songs, emanating from the beach or nearby caves. These accounts contribute to the lore of haunted Sandyhills, tying the unexplained phenomena to the region's historical connection with the sea. Beyond maritime specters, several older residences and former inns in the vicinity have been associated with unexplained phenomena. Residents and visitors have reported instances of poltergeist-like activity, including objects moving on their own, unexplained noises like footsteps or whispers when no one else is present, and sudden drops in temperature. One particular cottage, reputedly built on ancient grounds, has a high frequency of such claims, with residents describing experiences ranging from doors opening and closing by themselves to fleeting glimpses of a woman in period clothing. These persistent narratives contribute to the ongoing interest in paranormal activity Sandyhills has fostered.
