Point Sur Lightstation

The Story

Point Sur's reported hauntings take place around the keepers' residences and work buildings of the isolated coastal lightstation. According to HauntBound's account, visitors and volunteers describe footsteps where rooms appear empty, a man resembling a lighthouse keeper, and the impression of a child running upstairs. Television coverage helped spread the stories beyond local retellings. The original families' lives on the rock supply the historical setting, while the figures remain unverified reports. A single secondary directory remains the principal detailed story source unless additional story evidence is listed. No paranormal claims are independently proven.
