Book excerpt: Long Island's history extends beyond the physical reality surrounding us and into the great unknown of the spiritual realm. Deceased patrons and other visitors from the past linger at the Milleridge Inn in Jericho, one of the oldest continually operating restaurants in America. Victims of the Louis V. Place shipwreck aren't resting so peacefully at the Lakeview Cemetery in Patchogue. Spirits move furniture, knock on doors and pace throughout the exhibits at the Long Island Maritime Museum. Award-winning author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky, alongside medium and paranormal investigator Joe Giaquinto, use extensive interviews, research and investigations to unveil a new collection of Long Island's ghostly past.
