Historic Crimes of Long Island: Misdeeds from the 1600s to the 1950s


Beyond the idyllic countryside and suburban communities of Long Island lies a murky history of murder and mayhem. A Victorian romance went awry in Huntington when wealthy farmer Charles Kelsey was tarred, feathered and murdered in 1872. Thirty-five years before the famous witch trials of Salem, East Hampton had its own Puritan hysteria among charges of witchcraft. The 1937 kidnapping of wealthy heiress Alice Parsons shook the quiet town of Stony Brook and remains a mystery to this day. Award-winning author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky uncovers some of the most ghastly and fascinating historical crimes committed on Long Island.

Historic Haunts of Long Island: Ghosts and Legends from the Gold Coast to Montauk Point


Take a ghostly journey through Long Island's history, from Native American legends and beyond.

Ghosts lurk the Execution Rocks Lighthouse, where Revolutionary War Patriots were brutally tortured and killed by the British during the Battle of Long Island. Popular gathering places have otherworldly tenants, like Bayport's Grey Horse Tavern and the Cutchogue Village Green, where several old buildings—and their former inhabitants—are preserved.

Long Island's history is unearthed and preserved through its ghost stories and spirts who have made their presence known.

Through extensive research, interviews and investigations, award-winning author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky, alongside medium and paranormal investigator Joe Giaquinto, uncover Long Island's eerie history.
