For generations, lighthouse keepers and Coast Guardsmen have stood watch at some of the most isolated stations along America’s coastline. Surrounded by rough seas, violent storms, and decades of maritime history, many of these old stations have also developed reputations for something far stranger.

Drawn from firsthand accounts, Coast Guard folklore, and historical records spanning several decades, these stories explore strange encounters at lighthouses in Maine, Rhode Island, and Florida — from unexplained footsteps and shadowy figures to ghostly apparitions, mysterious voices, and experiences that even skeptical witnesses struggled to explain.
