"Lighthouses and ghosts are two popular passions. Melded together by master storyteller and lighthouse expert Ray Jones, these tales of spirited lights are guaranteed to grab the attention of all readers. As an added bonus, practical information is given for those who wish to visit the featured lighthouses for themselves . . . if they dare. Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder . . . let your imagination run wild as you read stories based on firsthand witness accounts about ghostly goings-on. You may know of Blackbeard's eternal search for his head or the phantom piano music and disembodied voices on Seguin Island, but perhaps you haven't heard about: ·the Ghost Light of Presque Isle, which turns on and off, despite the lighthouse being abandoned for more than a century; ·the fog monster prowling St. George Reef, crushing the hulls of ships big and small in the shadow of an uninhabited lighthouse ·spectral images at the Santa Barbara darkhouse, an inactive light station without a beacon that is haunted by the historic 1925 earthquake to this day"-- Provided by publisher.
