There was once an isolated island off the cost of
Scotland where 3 lighthouse keepers lived and were responsible for
keeping the building intact. One day, when their monthly supply ship
dropped by, the island was silent. No response from the lighthouse
keepers.
There was once an isolated island off the cost of Scotland where 3 lighthouse keepers lived and were responsible for keeping the building intact. One day, when their monthly supply ship dropped by, the island was silent. No response from the lighthouse keepers. Eventually the captain and some crew members went to investigate and found a disturbingly empty lighthouse. 2 of the 3 waterproof coats were missing from their hangers and the kitchen was left in a state as if people had left in a hurry.
The lighthouse log only added more mystery to the situation. The log described how one of the keepers wouldn’t talk, and the other continuously cried for hours. All of this pain and fear seemed to be coming from a “powerful storm, looming in the distance”. However this begs the question, why where they so scared of a simple storm?
They should have been safe in the brand new lighthouse right? The log goes on to talk about how they all stat close together and prayed for the storm to be over.
The final log states: “The storm has passed, the skies are calm, god is over all”.
Their bodies were never found and the cause of their death is still a mystery to this day.
The most accepted theory is that they somehow got swept out to sea during the storm, never to be seen again.
But one final detail remains, one that scared the captain and his crew to the bone.
The powerful storm described in the log didn’t exist, there were no storms reported in the area.
In fact the skies were calm all day.
