The Story
Ernie, the lighthouse’s legendary keeper, is blamed for knocking, repeatedly moving doors, stripping bedclothes and operating televisions. Haunted Places also recounts a reporter hearing persistent whispers during an overnight stay. The story imagines a keeper unwilling to leave his station, with everyday domestic disturbances replacing the lighthouse’s former working routine.
