Long Island Love Stories From Beyond

This program centers around heartwarming true stories told by Long Islanders. Their real life
experiences taught them that the love of passed family members and friends never dies, that love

side," intended to validate that the ones we miss so much are actually are still around us? Joseph

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. This multimedia
presentation includes the reading of The Story of James, an original Long Island story written by
Joseph Flammer of The Paranormal Adventurers.
The Story of James is about nineteen-year old James Hyde. James is a tall potato farmer from
Bethpage who is engaged to be married to his beloved Miss Becky. He always sensed he would
die young. He didn't know it would come from a lucky shot fired from a confederate
sharpshooter's rife from four-hundred yards away, the projectile from which would rip through
him and end his life. The only thing he had wanted to do was to return home and get married,
maybe become a bayman on the east end, or raise potatoes like his pappy. He didn't plan on
dying in the hell that had busted loose on the farmlands of Gettysburg during the three day
battle of 1863.
Now James is the ghost of the Old Quaker Burying Ground in Farmingdale, a place where, in
real life, people have reported seeing the apparition of a Civil War soldier. The actual body of
James Hyde is buried beside two other Civil War soldiers in Bethpage Cemetery, one of the
three small graveyards strung together in the Old Quaker Burying Ground in Farmingdale.
