  • Summary

  • Lighthouses have stood on the Northeastern coast of America for centuries, beacons of hope in dark night or a desperate storm...and, sometimes, silent witnesses to the many tragedies that can befall seafarers and their loved ones in the course of their sometimes dangerous work. This week, we take a trip through the past 300 years of American history to visit some of the most haunted lighthouses in New England (and, uh, one in New Jersey) and see how their morbid tales tie in to the most important moments of this country's past. We meet a lighthouse keeper driven mad by his wife's incessant piano playing - to the point of murder... A very good boy named Spot who some say still barks to warn sailors of deadly fog to this day, decades beyond his crossing over the Rainbow Bridge... A Revolutionary War soldier hanged by the British Redcoats for a crime he didn't commit, and who may still patrol the New Jersey coastline even after death... And several more interesting characters and strange happenstances across the maritime history of Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
