Lighthouses, robust and enduring structures, stand as formidable bastions of spiritual activity. Despite their formidable design, they remain vulnerable, safeguarding lives while isolated and remote. Unyielding to human frailty, these outposts inevitably become the stage for tragic events, where the spirits of those who once held onto ruined hopes, endured suffering, and were consumed by obsessions linger on.

Some hauntings possess a clear historical connection, while others remain enigmatic, yet all captivate with their eerie allure.
