Ghost Hunting At Hempstead House About The Cover Artist
O
n a dark and stormy night...just kidding, actually it was a sunny, normal Tuesday afternoon in August when several of Long Island Weekly’s staff members met up with five paranormal researchers and intuitives with Northwestern Queens Paranormal Research Group (NQPRG) at Hempstead House on Sands Point Preserve
in Port Washington. Built in 1912, the massive English Tudor-style mansion Hempstead House, on the Gould-Guggenheim Estate, was the site of society parties, performances and exhibitions by world-class artists, and gatherings of the powerful elite of the time. Today, Hempstead House stands ready for entertaining with its magnificent architecture, landscaped gardens and
exquisite views overlooking the Long Island Sound. Hempstead House was not the first residence on the property. Ten years earlier in 1902, Castle Gould was erected. Financier Howard Gould, son of railroad tycoon Jay Gould, had the house built for his wife, Katherine Clemmons, by architect August Allen.

Travis Louie has created his own imaginary world that is grounded in Victorian and Edwardian times. The artist’s paintings come from drawings and many writings in his journals. Louie, who was born in Queens and currently lives and works in Red Hook, NY, is inhabited by human oddities, mythical beings, and otherworldly characters. All of his characters are connected by their unusual circumstances that shape who they were in society, for example, a man cursed by a goat, a strange furry being is discovered sleeping in a hedge, a man overcomes his phobia of spiders and dozens more. Louie uses acrylic paint washes and simple textures on smooth boards to create realistic portraits from an alternative universe that seemingly may or may not have existed. His cover image, “Jeff and Jim” and the above painting, “Herman and his spider friend with a bat” are two of the many paintings and artworks in Louie’s expansive and endearingly spooky collection.

GHOSTS
SPIRITS from page 3A It was rumored that Clemmons hated Castle Gould and demanded a new one be built. While in the midst of having a new castle built in 1909, allegations exploded that Clemmons was having an affair, naming William “Wild Bill” Cody as her lover. The Goulds divorced the same year. Gould continued building Hempstead House, which was completed in 1912. The Goulds never lived in the house. It was sold to Daniel Guggenheim in 1917. In the 1940s, the Guggenheims vacated Hempstead House and opened it to war refugee children from Britain. The Guggenheims’ son, Harry, was a fighter pilot in WWI and WWII; the family began investing in aeronautical science and soon after donated Hempstead House to the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences, which was then sold to the U.S. Navy. The Navy used the estate from 1946 to 1967 as a training facility but in 1971, declared it as surplus and deeded it to Nassau County. Once Hempstead House was selected from several rumored haunted hot spots from around Long Island, the news team and researchers, headed by lead researcher and group owner Bradley Mauer, went to work noting tales from site employees and museum docents, and hearsay from Internet postings. The melded team set out throughout the mansion collecting evidence and photographic and audio recordings, along with sheer intuition, which two of the NQPRG members, Mark Ciochettl and Sylwia Kruszewska, specialize in. Almost immediately and steadily throughout the visit, Ciochettl and Kruszewska indicated being affected by supernatural energies, some

passive and benign, while other energies were more aggressive and ill-spirited. Mauer activated a “spirit box,” an AM radio receiver designed to operate on a frequency determined to capture other-worldly audio transmissions, in the mansion’s library. He initiated verbal contact with any would-be spirits in the room. Mauer asked basic questions of the spirits: “Who are you?” and “Why are you here?” and “How many people are here?” Seemingly, there were responses from the spirit world in single-word answers, such as “Willie” and “10” and “spirits” and “stuck”. It’s easy to debunk but just as easy as it is to believe. Several incidents were noted throughout the investigation, such as a tote bag falling from a solid placement and a camera battery dying completely in minutes, then being fully charged and functional after the spirit communications ended. Rafael Suarez, photographic researcher, attributes this to the energy draw that spirits need to communicate. Several weeks later, the news team and researchers reconvened to share findings of the photographic and audio evidence, noting orbs in several of the photos, unexplainable shadows and ghostly figures in reflections. Real? Or pure coincidence? You decide. For more details, including access information to Hempstead House, visit www.thesandspointpreserve. com or call 516-571-7901.

Sweet Satisfaction BY NICOLE LOCKWOOD
F
NLOCKWOOD@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
rom chocolates and hard candies to gummies and more, how could one possibly narrow down their favorite sweet to just one type or brand? With a variety of candy retailers on Long Island, sometimes people could use a little help if they find themselves perusing the aisles of stores like Bobb Howard’s, Sweet City Candy, Sweeties Candy Cottage and Ralph Rotten’s Candy & Nut Shoppe. Though choosing the best is never easy, certain treats will always be customer must-haves.
Chocolate
To some, chocolate is best in its simplest form, while others prefer the addition of salty and sweet elements like pretzels, caramel or nuts. Popular brands like Twix, Milky Way, Snickers and 3 Musketeers are just a few examples of such chocolatey medleys. Though all are irresistible to the common chocoholic, sometimes you can’t beat the classics and nothing is as classically satisfying as a Hershey’s chocolate bar, whether of the milk chocolate, dark chocolate or cookies and cream variety.

SWEET from page 6A Hard candies
Moving across the spectrum of sweetness, next up is hard candies. Whether big, small, round or on a stick, these candies are the perfect choice for those who opt for taste that lasts. Jolly Ranchers, Runts, Life Savers and Gobstoppers have been crowd favorites for years, frequently finding themselves in the bags of trickor-treaters, but the undeniable king of hard candies is Chupa Chups lollipops. Available in dozens of unique flavors and combinations including strawberries and cream, cola, cappuccino, root beer float, lemon lime and ice cream, there’s a sucker to satisfy any taste.
Gummy candies
For the active chewers out there, gummy candies, whether in the form of bear, worm, bottle or ring, reign supreme. Of these soft, sticky sweets, one brand swims straight to the heart: Swedish Fish. Originally developed in Sweden in the late 1950s, these fishies are most notable for their traditional red color but now also come in assorted packs with yellow, orange and green in the mix.
Nostalgia
When it comes to candy, some things never go out of style. Whether you’ve heard of them or not,
oldies such as Charms, Ice Cubes, Bit-O-Honey, Chuckles and Charleston Chews are still on the market at certain shops. Topping the list of nostalgic confectioneries is Bonomo Turkish Taffy, available in banana, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla flavors. The stretched sweet treat is also a part of American history as one of the first forms of candy advertised on television, making its debut in 1949. Though it’s not always easy, Halloween is all about sharing. The candies mentioned above are great when munched on alone, but even better when shared with friends, family and the neighborhood children knocking on doors on Halloween night.

HAUNTED HISTORY
Long Island Haunts BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA
L
KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
ong Island used to be home to a dozen American Indian tribes. It was settled by Europeans in the 1600s and the site of major battles during the Revolutionary War. Plantations run by slavery dotted the Island until the Civil War. By the late 1800s, prominent families like the Roosevelts and the Vanderbilts made their homes here. In the early 20th century, Long Island was the epicenter of the typhoid fever epidemic, and hard hit by tuberculosis and the Great Depression as well. With as storied a past as Long Island has, it is no surprise there are reports of ghostly activity all over the place. Where are the most haunted locations on Long Island? Here are a few: Mt. Misery Mount Misery is a wooded area in Huntington believed by many to be a cursed land. The name likely came from the steep rocky terrain that made travel difficult. Sources refer to a mental hospital built there in the 1700s or 1800s, but information is hard to verify. Supposedly there are accounts of loud screams and moans emanating from the asylum prior to it burning down. Attempts at rebuilding also ended in flames. These events begat many legends. The Lady in White may be a patient of the hospital, a local woman killed in a hit-and-run or of unknown origins. The apparition appears suddenly in front of cars at night. There may be a police officer missing part of his skull roaming the area, and a Hell Hound may stare at visitors with fiery red eyes, an omen of death. If you are brave enough to explore the woods of Mount Misery, don’t go alone. Kings Park Psychiatric Center Operating from 1885 to 1996, the Kings Park Psychiatric Center is the source of much folklore on Long Island. Originally called the Kings County Asylum, the complex was a self-sufficient farming community for many years. As the hospital

became overcrowded, the agrarian approach to treating mental illness eventually gave way to invasive techniques, such as pre-frontal lobotomies and shock therapy. This era of the facility served as inspiration for season two of FX’s American Horror Story: Asylum. The abandoned 13-story building looms over the tiny town of Kings Park, a ripe setting for ghost stories. There are reports of screaming and banging noises coming from the buildings at night, escaped patients hiding out on the grounds, a white figure with a red mouth and eyes, and other paranormal activity. The deteriorating site seduces ghost hunters and urban explorers on a regular basis, but visiting the psychiatric center is ill-advised due to asbestos and lack of safety measures in place. Execution Rocks In the Long Island Sound between New Rochelle and Sands Point is Execution Rocks Lighthouse. British soldiers chained Revolutionary War prisoners to the rocks, condeming them to death as the tide rose. In the 1920s, the waters surrounding the lighthouse became the dumping ground of serial killer Carl Panzram. He killed his victims with a Colt .45 and sunk their bodies mercilessly in the Sound. In Panzram’s autobiography, he admitted to being “not the least bit sorry” for his crimes. According to ghost hunters, spirits are active there. Countless souls haunt the island with cries of pain and terror. Tours operate June through September. The fearless may stay overnight with special arrangements. Maine Maid Inn The Maine Maid Inn in Jericho was built in the late 1700s as the home of Quaker abolitionist Valentine Hicks, a founder of the Long Island Rail Road, namesake

of nearby town Hicksville and station master on the Underground Railroad. The Hicks family helped nearly 200 slaves by offering them safety on their way north to freedom. After Hicks’ death, the home was turned into an inn and popular location for banquets. Past guests have reported seeing apparitions, hearing banging sounds, footsteps and voices coming from secret rooms and stairwells.

Scariest Sports Injuries
BY STEVE MOSCO
Hoop Nightmares
SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
E
When trolling the Internet for gruesome sports injuries, click on an image of Kevin Ware’s leg injury at your own risk. The guard was playing for the Louisville Cardinals against the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA’s Elite Eight when he suffered a disturbingly graphic compound fracture of the tibia after attempting to block a three-point shot. As with the Theismann injury, this was broadcast to a national audience, but unlike the Theismann injury, this was broadcast in 2013 so there are multiple sickening camera angles to view in horror in high definition. The sight of Ware’s bone clearly breaking the skin is enough to ruin any meal and keep potential hoopsters off of the court for at least a few weeks.
very so often, athletes sustain terrible injuries for our entertainment. In honor of Halloween, here are four of the most chilling:
Blue 42, Set, Brake!
As a national television audience watched Monday Night Football during week 11 of the 1985 season, they had the pleasure of hearing Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann’s bones snap thanks to a leg-breaking hit by New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor. It was 43 seconds into the second quarter when Theismann called a flea-flicker—the last play he would ever call— sending the 245-pound ball of hate Taylor barreling toward the quarterback. As the linebacker pulled Theismann down, it created a pile on, causing Theismann to fall in a twisted mess. Not wanting to deprive football fans of the gore they paid for, the TV camera zoomed in and caught the hideous sight of Theismann’s bone peeking out of his leg. Theismann suffered an open fracture of the tibia and broke his fibula, prematurely ending his career.
Blood On The Ice
Hockey is a brutal sport, especially when you remember that the players are wearing sharpened deadly weapons on their feet. Buffalo Sabres’ goalie Clint Malarchuk learned the hard way during a game against the St. Louis Blues in 1989 when the skate of an opposing player came up and sliced the goaltender’s jugular vein and carotid artery, resulting in a pool of blood on the ice. Malarchuk would’ve likely died on the ice had it not been for the quick thinking of his athletic trainer, Jim Pizzutelli, a former Army medic who served in Vietnam. Pizzutelli reached into Malarchuk’s neck and pinched off the vessel, not letting go until doctors stabilized the wound. The on-ice crime scene caused 11 fans to faint, two more to suffer heart attacks and three players to vomit on the ice.
One Ball, Two Strikes
It’s a lazy spring training day in 1974 with the Boston Red Sox squaring off against the St. Louis Cardinals. Carlton Fisk, the Sox catcher, crouches behind the plate when a Cardinal batter fouls off a pitch and sends it rocketing into Fisk’s protective cup. The cup fails at its one job and protects nothing, breaking in half and rupturing one of Fisk’s testicles. The catcher would miss three months and lose one testicle from the bad break. According to legend, as Fisk was passed out on the field from the intense pain, his teammate and rival Reggie Smith was in the dugout screaming, “I hope you die, motherf***er!” The following year, Fisk proved you only need one ball to hit a dramatic home run in the World Series.

The Falls Club of the Palm Beaches celebrates golf the way it was meant to be played - all season long —BY MARK HOPKINSON
Y
ou only have to follow the PGA TOUR as it makes its way across Long Island to appreciate the terrific choices in golf courses here. If only those choices were year-round. There's no doubt that the North East’s winter season can be unkind to our home courses and put a damper on your game. Snowbirds know that before those kinds of winter doldrums set in, now, is the perfect time to plan for the remainder of the season, in warmer climes. The good news is that there is one club in South Florida that has recently completed a multi-million-dollar capital improvement project, embracing a new lifestyle brand and new members. The Falls Club of the Palm Beaches, in Lake Worth, Florida has been completely renovated inside and out. The newly redesigned club is fresh, fun, private, vibrant, with no tee times, and absolutely no homes to intrude on your game. "It's just you, your clubs and 18 championship holes of golf, the way golf was intended to be played," says The Falls Club General Manager Richard Stropp. "And with none of the distractions that can affect residential clubs, our staff is free to be laser focused, exclusively on the needs of our members," he said.
Spectacular view over 18th tee to clubhouse at The Falls Club of the Palm Beaches MEMBERS MATTER MOST “In addition to offering our members an outstanding non-residential private club experience for avid golfers and their families, we’re returning even more value and rewarding member loyalty by waiving membership initiation fees,” Stropp added.
EXQUISITE DINING OPTIONS Inside the newly renovated forty-thousandsquare-foot clubhouse, The Falls Club’s renowned chef Daniel oversees an exquisite food and beverage program.
The Falls Club Board of Directors has also voted unanimously to waive all assessments permanently. "Our members will never have to pay an assessment now, or in the future."
EXPANSIVE DESIGN
He has worked at some of the finest restaurants including db bistro, New York, and as Chef De Cuisine at Cafe L’Europe. "Personal attention to every detail is what separates a cookie cutter menu from one that adds another dimension to every meal, whether it’s casual or formal dining," he says.
The inspired architectural redesign of The Falls Club seamlessly merges arrival in the club’s grand lobby, with sweeping views of its championship golf course.
To inquire about membership opportunities, visit www.TheFallsClub.com or call Membership Director Steve Brauner at (561) 964-5700.
