Whispers in the Fog
The World’s Most Haunted Lighthouses
Welcome, wanderers of the weird... to Gothic Dust Diaries.
Imagine this: a flickering light in the distance, waves crashing against jagged cliffs, and the echo of footsteps in a tower long abandoned. Today, we cast our lantern’s glow on one of the eeriest corners of maritime legend—the haunted lighthouse.
Throughout history, lighthouses have stood as silent sentinels, guiding ships safely to shore. But what happens when tragedy strikes, when a keeper vanishes into the mist, or when the sea claims more than just a vessel? These towers of stone and steel have witnessed centuries of isolation, shipwrecks, and sorrow. It’s no wonder some of them are said to echo with voices from beyond.
From the tortured cries heard at Florida’s St. Augustine Lighthouse to the ghostly keeper pacing the stairs of Oregon’s Heceta Head, each lighthouse bears its own tale of love, loss, and lingering spirits. In this series, we’ll explore 10 of the world’s most famously haunted lighthouses, diving into their chilling histories, meeting the souls who never left, and uncovering what makes these lonely beacons such fertile ground for ghostly lore.
So, if you feel a chill as we climb the spiral stairs, don’t worry—it’s only the sea breeze… or is it something more? Grab your coat, light your candle, and step into the mist with me. Each haunted lighthouse will be featured in the Tales of the Unseen section, where we’ll unravel their spectral secrets one by one. Our journey begins with the St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida—join me there.
