Old buildings are scattered all over the world, which in the old days served as lighthouses, acted as guidebooks, helping sailors navigate in bad weather and at night. However, later navigators were created, and accordingly, lighthouses were forgotten. However, many of them are still surrounded by an aura of mystery.
The lighthouse workers had a huge responsibility. And the buildings themselves were cut off from the outside world. An eerie and mystical atmosphere always hovered around them, which contributed to the emergence of numerous legends. Not all of them have a happy ending. To date, many mystical secrets of some abandoned buildings have not been solved. We propose to consider the most terrible buildings and legends that are associated with them.
Lost at Eileen Mor
In Scotland, there is the abandoned Eileen More lighthouse. There are many mystical legends about the structure, which is located on the island. One of them is based on the disappearance of the caretakers. The event led to the fact that the lighthouse became one of the most famous mystical places in the world.
This story happened in 1900. The sailors on the ship passing by did not see the signal from the lighthouse. They decided to check what was the matter. After landing on the island, an empty container was found in which provisions were to be stored. The boxes lay on the shore. At the same time, the gates of the structure were locked.
When they managed to get inside the lighthouse, the sailors saw the caretakers' unmade beds, their raincoats and an overturned table. And, what is most interesting, the clock in the tower did not work, while showing the same time. There were no other traces by which the caretakers could be found. The mystery has not yet been solved, which only fuels interest in the lighthouse on the part of fans of everything paranormal.
Talacre - the record holder for mystical legends
One of the most mysterious structures is the Talacre lighthouse. It is located in the town of the same name in Great Britain. The building was abandoned back in 1840. However, the building continued to be visited after that. And many lovers of sights and abandoned places immediately after inspecting the lighthouse complained of health problems.
A ghost appeared before some of the visitors. He walked towards the lighthouse or was at its very top. The ghost was dressed in uniform. By the way, the building itself is locked. According to the legends, the caretaker died of a fever inside the lighthouse.
Ghosts of Souther Lighthouse
The structure known as Souther Lighthouse is located in England. It was built to prevent ships from being damaged by the reefs. According to legend, once the ship escaped shipwreck thanks to a girl named Isabella. She is listed in the archives as a resident of the building.
Since that time, many caretakers have seen a ghostly figure resembling a girl in silhouette. According to them, spoons and forks could fly inside the lighthouse. And the air temperature periodically changed sharply. Some people claimed that the girl tried to touch them. We often saw the figure of an employee in working form. And after his disappearance, the smell of tobacco remained.
The mystery around Isaac Kay
Back in 1889, the construction of the Isaac Cay lighthouse was completed. It is located on the island of Isaac. To date, the building has been abandoned. But many sailors said that crying was periodically heard from the building. According to them, a woman is screaming. They associate this with a shipwreck, after which the child was carried out in waves. Except for him, no one was left alive.
According to local residents, a girl who could not come to terms with parting with the baby, with a shipwreck, is screaming. She visits the lighthouse and mourns the event. There is another legend. According to her, the workers of the lighthouse disappeared. There are no traces of their presence in the structure. According to the local population, the loss of people in this building is a regular event.
Lonely lighthouse on St. George's Island
There is a lighthouse on the island of St. George, the construction of which took more than 10 years. It is the most expensive building in American history. However, not everyone wanted to work in the building. The lighthouse is located very far away. On the island, on the rocks of which huge waves are constantly breaking. Storms are common in this place. Therefore, it was very difficult to get there, as well as to come back. To do this, we had to wait for a ship that sailed by.
For this reason, 5-6 caretakers worked at the same time. This decision was made to save them from loneliness. And the roar of the waves was less unnerving. By the way, the very place where the lighthouse was built was far from the safest. Once, during the next storm, a wave washed away at the same time five caretakers. From that moment on, the lighthouse was no longer working.
