The legend is this: During the American Revolution, the British would bring Colonialist sympathizers out to the rocks at low tide and chain them to the rocks. They would then slowly drown as the tide flooded the Sound. Local lore tells of the ghosts of the executed haunting the rocks. A lighthouse was erected in 1847-9 (with $25,000 appropriated from Congress). Because of the legends, any lighthouse keeper who asked for transfer from assignment there was granted one with no questions asked.
Apparently, all folk tales of midnight executions and hangings on the rocks are just that: legends and folk tales.
On one of the earliest charts of Long Island Sound dating back to the early or mid-1700s, the rocks are marked simply as The Executioners. They are mid-channel at the opening of the Sound and one would assume that there would be safe passage there. Many ships hit them and sank before the lighthouse was erected.

[Yanlin] Thank you for coming. The Queen is holding court. Wait in the back and she'll be with you shortly.
[Chunshan] Yesterday we spoke with your accuser. He told this court that you ran out of his store carrying a 50 pound bag of rice without paying for it. He brought two witnesses who both claimed they saw you do it. He showed us video footage of your crime. How do you plead?
[Hung] I beg the Queen for mercy.
[Queen Ming] Mercy you ask for? Have I not already done so twice before? The first time I gave you a warning by taking one of your hands. Last time I took your other hand for stealing also. I have shown you mercy but you continuously throw it right back at me. My goodness has it's limits, and we must set an example for everyone to follow.
[Fang] *slice* I love how this sword slices through flesh like butter.
[Heng] My Queen, Tex has arrived.
[Tex] That feller was as yellow as mustard but without the bite.
[Queen Ming] Just the person I wanted to see. Are you hungry? Let's go next door and enjoy our Chinese New Year's feast. I prefer to talk business while eating.

Clemenza and I tracked down the spy for the . In the dark street, filled with the sound of our footsteps, he heard and he turned around, pulling a pistol as he did, but we had our pistols out first . The first 5 rounds caught him in the chest, and he fell, face down. We went to the body and pumped 4 more bullets in his back. As a finishing touch, I put a bullet into his brain. We left the body, and we rode away in a car that was waiting for us.

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (Khmer: សារមន្ទីរឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍ទួលស្លែង) is a museum in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, chronicling the Cambodian genocide. The site is a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. Tuol Sleng (Khmer [tuəl slaeŋ]) means "Hill of the Poisonous Trees" or "Strychnine Hill". Tuol Sleng was only one of at least 150 execution centers in the country, and as many as 20,000 prisoners there were later killed.
