There is just something really spooky about lighthouses; maybe it is their isolation, and aura of loneliness, or maybe it is the many tragedies that a life at sea can visit upon those who tread too often on her waters.
Just north of Florence Oregon is the Heceta Head Lighthouse, which has tales of a wispy ghostly woman, and things that simply disappear without a trace. Once a famed photographer and his companion caught sight of the phantom woman in an upstairs window while on a shoot at this lighthouse, but they are only a couple of the many people who seem to have had encounters with this ghostly wench.
Now on to Newport Oregon and the ghost of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse where some believe that the old lighthouse keeper still resides within its walls and the phantom of a young woman is purported to be seen on the beach at times. Though the tales of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse are questionable due to recently discovered information, there are still plenty of haunted lighthouses on the Oregon Coast, as well as in many other locations.
Imagine spending a foggy, dark night in one of these old buildings; what ghostly specters might you encounter.
