What structure is more inherently haunted than a lighthouse? Okay, there may be a list but it isn't that long. Inspired by Lions Lighthouse in Long Beach! In my shop!

Seguin Island Light Station, Georgetown. Seguin is Maine's highest and second oldest lighthouse. It's also said to be one of a number of haunted lighthouses in the state. Legend has it that a keeper, sometime in the mid 1800s bought a piano to entertain his bored wife. She practiced the same song over and over. Driven mad, the keeper axed the piano to pieces, then did the same to his wife, before ending his own life. Folks say you can still hear spooky piano music there.

New Tales of Florida Gothic - Chapter 5

“Unfathomable to mere mortals is the lore of fiends.” — Nathaniel Hawthorne

Your early morning tour of the 'haunted' victorian mansion in Brooksville, Florida has been an absolute delight. Your guide, a young woman in period costume playing the part of a person from the late 1890's so convincingly, you half way believed her. As you leave, you pass another young woman who apoligizes for being so late and she'll begin your tour immediately. You point out that her colleague already took you on the tour to which she replies that she's the only one working that day. You look back at the house as ice runs down your spine.

You've now traveled 2,000 miles in a desperate attempt to escape your spectral torment, but it still isn't far enough. With the coming of twilight, you can still see the beam from the haunted lighthouse in Florida flashing across the horizon, searing itself into the depths of your eyes. Exhausted, you stumble back into your car and continue driving away.

As the storm surge from the hurricane fills your lungs, you are suddenly aware of all your past lives as your current one slips away. You are horrified to realize you have always died in hurricanes: in New Orleans, in Miami, in Galveston, in places so old they did not yet have names. And then you understand, no matter how many lives you live, you always will die in hurricanes.

As you drag the body into the back yard to bury it, you laugh as you see a sink hole has conviently formed there. With mirthless laughter, you roll the corpse into the sink and reach for your shovel. You freeze as the ground slowly closes of its accord until the hole is completely gone. Your shovel drops, forgotten, from your hand as you shuffle back into your house. The Florida soil demands to be feed.

As you lie sleeplessly in bed, your closet door slowly opens with a forboding creak. As you get out of bed and walk towards the closet door, you wonder for a moment what monster you'll become in someone else's closet. But the thought quickly passes as the hunger begins.

While renevating your bedroom, you discover an old diary hidden in the wall. As you read it, you learn it belonged to a young woman from the late 1890's, tormented by the gift of precognition - the ability to see the future. She writes of her anguish at seeing her family die despite all her attempts to prevent them from meeting the ends she had forseen. Gruesome sketches appear on some of the pages, showing the myriad ways her family and friends met their untimely fates. Then your blood runs cold as the young woman reveals that she can see a person in the distant future reading her journal, and that person is completely unaware that they too, are about to meet their end. As you turn the page, you see a sketch of youself, sitting at the same desk, reading the same journal, but the drawing reveals a hulking shadow from behind is falling across you. You turn to...

RACE ROCK LIGHTHOUSE

SOUTHOLD, NY

It seems that ghosts like to hang out in lighthouses. The violent deaths from these disasters could leave behind a spiritual residue or life force that lingers where it happened.

According to Native American lore, Race Rock Reef was once an island. Because of the swift currents running up to six knots in the Race and the sharp rocks that could tear out the bottom of their birch bark canoes the Indians avoided it. They believed the place was haunted and as sea levels have risen the island has disappeared beneath the waves.

Many members of the Coast Guard have claimed to hear disembodied whispers, laughing, voices and even yelling. Some have been touched, poked, or pushed by these phantoms and refuse to return to this property. Unexplainable footsteps and the sounds of running water have also been experienced. Many passing boats claimed they have witnessed a shadowy presence of a man in the tower as the light passed over them.

Haunting Music and Cries from Sheffield Island Lighthouse

On the rocky shores of Connecticut, the Sheffield Island Lighthouse in Norwalk is said to be haunted by mysterious music, a blaring foghorn that doesn't exist and distant cries for help from the island or worse, the deep dark water.

Soooooo after the new details that have been revealed about Veilguard, how do we all imagine a Solavellan reunion is going down? Trapped in the fade together? Lighthouse makeout sessions? A very sad mural dedicated to his Vhenan? My brain is infested with new headcanons.

Lightship oc Jasper

Oh yeah I’m back on my bullkshit

For the first time in my life, I visited a harbor city and spent a few days there (that was last week to be exact)

Y’all, It completely shifted my perspective on ships. I overdosed myself with boats, I now understand the environment and how everything works together—how the systems, people, and operations are all interconnected. I had been struggling with even the simplest setups for Tugger and anything related to tugboats. Updates for Lost Anchor have been slow as FUCK bc I kept running into dead ends, and so much of my research felt like it was going nowhere. I’ve also been trying to introduce a few more relevant characters for Lost Anchor, but I just couldn’t figure out how to make them fit. But now? I’m fucking cooking. Things are finally coming together.

We as a society need to start building lighthouses, castles, and remote stone cottages again

[vacuuity]

Should pale death with treble dread

make the ocean caves our bed,

God who hear'st the surges roll,

deign to save our suppliant soul.

Honestly people need to recognize the king that dagfinn is. Bro just wanted to be alone in his lighthouse and I think that's so real of him.
