Was
missed in WindCheck’s e-News earlier this week but thought
you might be interested in knowing this is on television tonight.
Last August, the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures crew along
with nautical historian (and WindCheck contributor) Andrea Watson,
and Matt Meyran, of Port Washington, NY Water Taxi, spent the night
at Execution Rock Lighthouse investigating it’s storied past.
The lighthouse got its name during the Revolutionary War, when the
English, who were adverse to criminals’ loud screams prior
to their demise by hanging, took the unfortunate miscreants out
to the rock pile in the middle of Western Long Island Sound, tied
them to the rocks and let the tide do their dirty work for them.
Watch the show Friday, Dec. 18, 9:00 pm (ET) on The Travel Channel.
