The Ghost Story
The ghost of Minnie Hesh Cochems, who died in 1928, is said to tidy up after visitors leave. She clanks teacups, straightens objects, and generally acts as an invisible housekeeper. Lighthouse keepers and visitors have reported hearing the sound of china being arranged in the kitchen when no one else is in the building.
