Many believe the lighthouse is haunted by a former light keeper. Others report seeing a ghost ship off the coast which sank at sunset before the light was built. They say to watch for the sudden green flash just as the sun completely disappears at sunset. They believe it is caused by the ship, others say it is just an effect caused by Mother Nature.
Another person who may be haunting the light is a man nicknamed “Superman” by the locals. He climbed to the top of the light and jumped to his death. Many believe his lost soul is still here. Since the incident, the lighthouse has been closed to visitors.
While we were here we didn’t really get any abnormal EMF readings but the compass gave a very strange reading. I know we are only 18 or so miles from the equator but the compass went nuts spinning around. It should have given us a proper reading, and it did when we were away from the lighthouse.
