Execution Rock Lighthouse - Part 1


On a tiny, deserted island in the middle of Long Island Sound, lies Execution Rocks Lighthouse. Etched into a landscape of rocks and isolated by water, the lighthouse's history is full of dark stories of shipwrecks, torture and a serial killer.



Execution Rock Lighthouse - Part 2


In the muddy waters of Long Island Sound off the coast of New Rochelle, NY, low tide reveals a group of menacing and jagged rocks. Known as Execution Rocks, condemned Revolutionary War prisoners and Colonials faced death in these unforgiving waters at the hands of British soldiers. Chained here at low tide, fated prisoners slowly drowned as the tide rose.



By the 19th century this brutal practice had ended, but the area was still a great danger to ships traveling the busy trade and commercial routes of the LI Sound. While some ships were destroyed and others suffered heavy damage, those who owned, stocked and crewed the vessels all agreed that protection from these harmful rocks was necessary.

Therefore, the solitary Execution Rocks Lighthouse was commissioned in1847 when the US Congress appropriated $25,000 for its construction; 20 years later the keeper's quarters were added and the first resident moved in. The beacon protected the island and surrounding waters almost without incident for the next 70 years. At which point, Execution Rock Lighthouse and its surrounding waters became hosts to unimaginable evil.

A Serial Killer’s Dumping Grounds

In August 1920, Carl Panzram was a thief in need of a house to rob. At 113 Whitney Ave. in New Haven, CT, he plundered the rooms, making off with pricey goods and some valuable bonds. It wasn't until after he left the residence and was en route to Manhattan that he noticed the name on the stolen bonds: William H. Taft, former President of the United States and now a professor at Yale University. He sold them for top dollar and continued his spree.

In New York, Panzram robbed yachts and boats all over the Long Island Sound before setting his sights on much darker crimes; he began killing in cold blood with the .45 Colt automatic stolen from William Taft's home. Panzram's pattern of killing involved tying rocks to each body, rowing them out to into the Long Island Sound and dumping them just 100 yards from the Execution Rock Lighthouse.

In his autobiography "Killer: A Journal of a Murder," Panzram writes, "In my lifetime I have murdered 21 human beings, I have committed thousands of burglaries, robberies, larcenies, arsons … For all these things I am not in the least bit sorry." Many of Panzram's victims were mercilessly tossed into the waters near Execution Rock Lighthouse.

In 1979, the lighthouse became fully automated. Grateful Coast Guard members happily abandoned shifts involving nightly watches at this lonely island and the waters that claimed so many. With countless souls meeting their end here, it's no wonder that strange sounds have been heard and ghostly images seen at Execution Rock Lighthouse.

Ghost Adventures Recap: Execution Rocks Lighthouse

EXECUTION ROCKS LIGHTHOUSE, LONG ISLAND SOUND, NEW YORK

Zak, Nick, and Aaron are the first team to investigate Execution Rocks. Many other paranormal teams have called to investigate this island, but Zak and the boys were the only ones to show up. Execution Rocks has been home to executions, murder, and accidental death, and is given its name because British soldiers used the rocks around the island to carry out executions. They would chain the prisoners up at low tide and wait for the water to slowly rise until the prisoners were drowned. The prisoners were in the water for up to twelve hours before the water rose high enough for them to drown.

In 1847 the lighthouse was built on the island to prevent all the boats from crashing into the jagged rocks surrounding the island. Twenty years later the keeper’s house was built. Many of the lighthouse keepers were so scared by all the paranormal activity that happened on the island that they were able to cancel their contracts and leave at any time without incident.

Carl Panzram (aka Captain Carl O’Leary) was a notorious serial killer and once boasted that he murdered 21 human beings. He picked the lighthouse to dump the dead bodies of his victims. He was hung for all his murders. While waiting to die, he spat in a guards face and said “hurry it along, I could have killed 10 people by now”.

While walking around being told the history by a coast guard, they were told that many felt that the ghosts on the island have crashed many boats that got too close. Some say that they could smell the sweet odor of flowers on the island but it was barren and had no vegetation growing there. A physic said that a male dominate spirit is the one haunting the island and it could be Carl Panzram. Inside the keeper’s house, Dave their guide said that he felt like something was pressing on his chest with two hands. He said that he couldn’t breathe and felt like a ghost was attacking him. In 1978 the lighthouse became automated and there was no need for a lighthouse keeper to live on the island.

Late in the afternoon before their lockdown, they decided to have some fun and go fishing. Zak did manage to catch a pretty good size fish but it escaped before they could reel it in. They got their gear and got ready for lockdown. This was their first lighthouse investigation.

LOCKDOWN: Matt takes off on the boat leaving the boys trapped on the island. They check out where their X’s are located before starting the investigation. They BBQ burgers before the sun goes down and the fun begins. They start things off using the video goggles which have a word data base inside the gun and has an infrared built into it. Right off the bat the word “remote” shows up on the goggles. They start out in the keeper’s house and head into the room where Dave felt he had two hands put on his chest. Zak asked questions while Aaron fixes the camera. While he was doing that the word “camera” showed up on the goggles. They head upstairs and hear a loud bang. After asking for the bang noise again, they heard a voice but couldn’t determine if it came from outside. They did, however, hear a growl noise which came from inside the building. They decide to head back downstairs to find the source of the loud bang. Since they couldn’t find anything that would cause the loud bang noise, they asked the spirits if they made the noise. They do an EVP session and get a spike on the EMF, Aaron gets chills and the word “drink” showed up on the goggles, all at the same time. The word “Mercury” was next to showed up which propped Zak to go to the top of the lighthouse. During the walk through, he remembered seeing a barrel which said “Caution Mercury Poison”. He felt that they might be solving an undisclosed death or murder. They then headed downstairs where the poisonous mercury might have dripped down inside the lighthouse mixing with the fresh water. They leave a digital recorder and static night vision camera in the area. After reviewing the footage later, they found no voices or visuals to coincide with the words they heard earlier.

They left the lighthouse and went back to the keeper’s house. Zak put the EMF back on the floor where they got the high spikes and this time got nothing. They decided to use the infrared still cameras which records temperature, time, and date. While walking around, Zak taunts the ghost into showing himself but they didn’t get any action.

As the lockdown neared the end, they decided to investigate the outside where it was pitch dark. They take the infrared still cameras but got nothing on all the photos that were taken inside and out. Next they set up a static night vision camera pointing at the rocks where many of the drownings took place. As they finished setting up the camera, both Aaron and Zak heard a crying coming from where the rocks are at. They decided to head down to where the jagged rocks were to investigate the crying sound. Zak puts a digital recorder on the rocks but didn’t catch any EVP’s or sounds. Throughout the entire investigation of Execution Rocks, they got no visual or audio evidence to support the claims of ghost that were reported on this dreary little island.

Ghost Hunters Recap: Hindenburg Crash Site

INVESTIGATION: HINDENBURG CRASH SITE

LAKEHURST NAVAL AIR STATION, LAKEHURST, NEW JERSEY

On their season finale, the TAPS team investigates the crash site of the Hindenburg and the hanger it was kept in. Hanger 1 was built back in 1919. Rick, a historian, tells TAPS that an ocean liner could fit inside this hanger that housed the Hindenburg. Activity in Hangar 1 is reported on the second deck, along with music, noises and voices in a foreign language. A three or four foot high mist was seen with two head bobbing above it. In Hangar 1 south stairwell is where late at night a night watchman heard his name and saw a dark figure move towards him. It called his name again and moved right through him. He ran out of the building and refused to go back. In the medical building on the 1st floor people have heard voices, seen paper shuffling and lights going on and off. On the 2nd floor a woman saw a figure float by a man that she was talking to. They checked out the place but no one was there. In the basement of the building a woman saw a shadow behind her and when she went up the stairs, she couldn’t get the door open. On the airfield at the crash site, people feel spooked and have an uneasy feeling.

INVESTIGATION:
Jason and Grant in Hanger 1 ground floor get the investigation going. They walk around with the flir thermal camera. At one point they saw what looked like a figure. Using the thermal they saw what look like a person under the sheet. Upon further investigation, they found it to be equipment under plastic.

Kris and Amy start out in the medical clinic. They walk around asking questions and ask for a spirit to turn on a light. They notice a light at the end of the hall turn on, and then turned off. While they were trying to find the source of the light turning on and off, another light turned on, and then off.

Britt and Dustin are on the ground floor in Hanger 1 where they see a shadow figure move above on the catwalk. They head up there to investigate and they heard movement while up there. Dustin hears footsteps above him but it wasn’t Britt who was at the other end. Britt saw a black mass above where Dustin was standing and it was moving.

Amy and Kris are now in the south stairwell of Hanger 1. They walk around checking out the place on the second floor which is abandoned office space and felt like someone was up there with them. They felt scared and uneasy as they walked around. They kept hearing noises and then a light turned on and then off.

Jason and Grant are now in the basement of the medical clinic where they smell a strong sewer gas. With the high EMF reading and sewer gas could explain some people having the feeling of being haunted. They looked for the source of the sewer gas, isolated the problem and fixed it.

Amy and Kris are still on the second floor of Hanger 1 where they decide to sit and ask questions. After not getting any response they moved on.

Jason and Grant are now in Hanger 1 where Jason sees a shadow move straight up from one catwalk to the other above it. They then hear voices and catch on their thermal a figure looking over the railing above in the catwalk area. They yell up there and then they head up to the catwalk to verify that no one was up there.

Dustin and Britt are in the medical building on the 2nd floor. They use new hi-tech recorders that are supposed to pick up the voices and make them sound much clearer. (Yeah!) They were getting high EMF readings and hope they caught a voice on the recorder.

Jason and Grant are now outside at the Hindenburg crash site. They walk around with the flir asking questions to get a response. They decided to get in their car and shoot the thermal out the window to cover the perimeter to see if they get something. They didn’t but were overcome by the experience of just being there.

Dustin and Britt are now in the medical building basement and getting high EMF readings but see the electrical boxes. All of a sudden Dustin felt like something had touched him. He thought it might be a cobweb but it wasn’t. This was the end of the investigation.

RESULTS:
In Hanger 1 on the catwalk, Dustin caught the footsteps that he heard above him.

In the Medical Building with Kris and Amy, they caught what sounded like a guy clearing his throat, a whispering voice possibly saying “very hard” and the lights turning on and off. They heard a door opening and then closing which was caught on the digital camera.

Also in the Medical Building, Dustin and Britt caught a sigh sound on their recorder.

They did feel with all the evidence that the place was definitely having paranormal activity.
