Fun facts:


August 2009: 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. Show aired Friday, December. 18. on The Travel Channel. -- http://www.travelchannel.com
