Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Lighthouses, Volume 2: Ghosts of New England and Michigan
Episode notes
About this episode
| Lighthouses combine isolation, dangerous weather and the repetitive work of keeping a light burning for mariners. Volume 2 visits five American lights where the lives of keepers and their families became part of later ghost stories.
Waugoshance Lighthouse stands in the Straits of Mackinac in Michigan. The journey then moves east to Stratford Shoal Lighthouse in Long Island Sound and Penfield Reef Lighthouse near Fairfield, Connecticut. Both occupy exposed waters where maritime accidents and keeper traditions shaped their reputations. South East Light on Block Island, Rhode Island, and Owls Head Lighthouse near Rockland, Maine, complete the route. The episode places reports of apparitions and unexplained activity beside the practical history of lighthouse service, creating a regional companion to earlier Richmond Haunts Media lighthouse programs. |
