Reaching far back into antiquity, seafaring civilisations have relied upon beacons and lighthouses to ensure safe passage for mariners. But all too often, these noble constructions have ended up tainted by tales of torment and tragedy. Playing host to mysterious and inexplicable events, which have played out under the beacon’s glare.

My ancestors were lighthouse keepers in northern Tasmania. LOTS of dead in shipwrecks and when the wind blows at night apparently you hear voices whispering loudly still. The lighthouse keepers were usually the first to respond to ship wreck survivors and had HUGE supplies of canned food to keep the survivors fed until they could get them transported out.

[@PvtPartzz]

Ok but why the hell did these cities and villages decide that whoever was watching the lighthouse would have to stay there for 6months to a year!? That’s ludicrous for places so isolated and dangerous.

[@OriginalBongoliath]

Because the light going out=hundreds if not thousands of deaths at sea. A light could not afford to be inoperable for any amount of time and with the technology of the time a human had to be on call 24/7 because traveling from your home in town=time wasted, and lives lost.

[@PvtPartzz]

@@OriginalBongoliath you understand the premise of a shift change, yes? The lighthouse is never empty.

[@nekipeh7373]

@@PvtPartzz like you said, dangerous. Many of lighthouses were located on inaccessible or very dangerous places for a small ship or row boat to get by because of huge waves, or big boats because of rocks/sandbanks, so daily/monthly changes couldnt really occur, especially since most of this locations are under bad/dangerous weather minimum for over a third to half a year. So sending ships periodically would be near impossible, wasteful and deadly. And like the previous comment said, technology didnt offer self-working lighthouse, but needed a human interaction for a day, maybe even more if the weather is really deadly to nearby sea traffic. I was also always wondered by "why they dont just be there for few weeks and than switch?" question, until one family friend would explain to me what i wrote here, which i hope shed some light on that question! Even if that job is not really impactful nowdays, it sure was in the past, and all respect to all the people who were and are part of it!

[@OffGridInvestor]

Because they absolutely relied on it running and some are on very steep small islands like one my relatives were on. They were trying to bring supplies up one on a sled running on a steep slope with a wooden frame the sled run in. Terrible during heavy seas. One time the sled, which was pulled by a steel cable that was pulled by horses had the steel cable break, whipped back at one of the horses and killed it almost instantly.

[@dawsonharris5498]

Something that played a large part in lighthouse keepers having so many "strange" encounters comes from the earliest Fresnel lenses floated in a bath of liquid mercury to create a liquid bearing for the reflecting lens to rotate around. They required daily maintenance and the keepers had a lot of contact with the mercury. We know now it probably played a large part in the stories that came from light houses and on top of the isolation probably lead to the unusually high rate of murder among the keeper crews.

Awww yiss another Bedtime Story just as I'm getting ready to tuck in and look for a scary story to spook me to sleep! This is extra great content seeing as I live in Nova Scotia, which is real lighthouse country as much as any place could be. Nothing quite as otherworldly as being on a coastal nature walk when a pea-soup-thick fog rolls in and all you can see is a soft damp diffuse white, it muffles sound and makes everything quiet except the now-unseen surf crashing on the nearby shore. Then the startlingly loud & haunting horn of a lighthouse suddenly cuts through the fog from somewhere out there in the unending white nothingness; if you're close enough you can actually feel the bass of the horn in your chest but you're probably still not close enough to see the damn lighthouse. Really makes you feel small and like you're in strange place people aren't really meant to be. 10/10 experience, highly recommend you get spooked TF up by a foghorn if you get the chance

It's not exactly a lighthouse story but one of my fave modern folk songs is about a band of looters who use false beacons to lure in unsuspecting ships during storms, hoping to jump them and take their goods. It's called Feather In A Storm - it's pretty good if you're into that kind of music, and still worth a listen if not. On a separate note (partly because a video about it turned up in my recommendations here lately), my mind ended up wandering to Round The Twist.

5:10 - relationship guide with your coworker. When they pass, put their body in a makeshift coffin, and attach it to the railings outside your workplace.

A whole year by my self at a secluded lighthouse?? Introvert applicant: “YYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!

[@onlynameMrBlank]

I know of one story where it's rumored a voice in the lighthouse keeps repeating, "Yer fond of me lobster, ain't ya?"

I absolutely love stories about lighthouses, so I'm happy you covered them. There's something very unsettling about lighthouses, and I'm glad most lighthouses are automated now. I'd imagine one or a few people having to stay in an isolated location for months on end must have been an awful experience.

Crushing isolation, known to me as finally being free of people.

Nice just before turning in for the night

Great upload boys. Almost as good as the one on the Hoosac tunnel episode 2 years ago. Tunnels are almost as freaky as Lighthouses. Would love another one.

Woohooo! Just in time for bed! Can’t express how much I love your channel, thanks for all you do!

[@anhedonianepiphany5588]

4 PM is a little too early of a bedtime for me, although it’s almost 8:30 now so I may say “good night” to Monday in an hour or two.

[@whatshappeningnext]

Very interesting stories!

[@user-dk7su3lp6e]

YOU put your dead coworker in a cheap homemade coffin. YOU strap your dead co workers coffin to the damn lighthouse, and then YOU go insane when his corpse falls out of said cheap coffin. not a lot of foresight with the first guy, huh?

Boon Island got it's name from when a group of sailors were shipwrecked in winter on it. After a few days they noticed smoke rising from Mount Agamenticus on the mainland. They built up a bon fire and added wet seaweed to make it smoke more. In due time, they were rescued by a local tribe of Abenaki who were curious about the smoke. Years later, another group of sailors also found themselves shipwrecked on the island. They were not so fortunate and resorted to cannibalism to survive.

The wind coming off of the ocean can sound really creepy like whispering voices. And being alone doesn't help either. 🤔👍💯🇺🇸

Here in Oregon we have a number of strange stories regarding lighthouses. There's the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, also known as Terrible Tilly. She saw the death of a surveyor during construction and the lose of a ship with all hands before she was completed. Keepers also reported seeing at least one ghost ship. Further adding fuel to the legend is that the native people of the region considered the rock to be an "evil place." Then there is the tragic story of the Heceta Head Lighthouse. The story goes that the wife of one of the keepers haunts the adjacent house, searching in vain for her dead child.

[@scatdog1]

Always wished I could draw like this …

[@shroomyk]

Yes, I *love* lighthouse stories!

[@jodidavis5764]

My husband & I have Hunt a Killer & love it! Sooooo detailed!!

[@TheRhuen]

The longer story sounds like the island was home to something that really didn't want people there. Go back a bit in time and they would have attributed that all to the hidden people, which much of that was the sorts of things they were said to do, including driving people mad who would not leave their domains.
