SPOOKIEST LIGHTHOUSES reveals the most historic and haunted lighthouses in America. Paranormal activity ranges from the frequent smell of cigar smoke where no smoking is permitted to piano music heard inside abandoned lighthouses where there is no piano or radio! Most of these spooky sentinels are open to the public and some even offer ghost tours and investigations. In addition to revealing all paranormal activity, histories, photographs, and detailed visitor information is included in every chapter. Condemned prisoners were executed here…their anguished screams can still be heard at Execution Rocks Lighthouse (New York). The spirit of a murdered keeper lingers at St. Simon's Lighthouse (Georgia). He climbs the tower stairs every night still trying to perform his duties. Thousands of Confederate soldiers died while imprisoned at Point Lookout Lighthouse (Maryland) during the Civil War. A paranormal investigation captured twenty-four different voices cursing, moaning, and screaming "Help!" and "Bad Shape!" on digital recorders. When a keeper's wife ran away with a local ferry captain, the keeper at New London Ledge Light (Connecticut) killed himself but many believe that he is still there, at least in spirit. Supernatural shenanigans at Port Boca Grande Light (Florida) involve a pirate and a princess. Ghost enthusiasts will love reading about all the paranormal happenings that have been documented at these light stations. Lighthouse and architectural enthusiasts will appreciate reading about these marvelous monuments that include a grand Victorian mansion lighthouse in the middle of the ocean, the biggest light station complex in the U.S., and the tallest lighthouse in Oregon, which is perched precariously on a rocky cliff 205' above sea level.
