The Story

Visitors report footsteps in the keeper's house and on the tower stairs, voices, humming and an unseen touch. The Trail offers two local interpretations: former lighthouse keepers who stayed on, or presences connected to the museum's military artifacts. The accounts concern the historic working light and adjacent Victorian keeper's house.
