The Full Story

David Corbin, the original lighthouse keeper, is buried on the island and his spirit has never left his post. Doors open and close on their own, thumping echoes through the building, and visitors report feeling a watchful presence. Corbin seems to still be tending his lighthouse nearly two centuries after his death.
