HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSE

HECETA HEAD LIGHTHOUSE

HAUNTED...........................

CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE MORE NOTABLE HAUNTINGS, HECETA HEAD LIGHTHOUSE, OREGON.........SITS HIGH ON A BLUFF OVERLOOKING THE PACIFIC OCEAN.........ON THE GROUNDS IS A LONG ABANDONED GRAVE OF A BABY GIRL, THOUGHT TO BE THE DAUGHTER OF ONE OF THE EARLY LIGHT KEEPERS................. THE GRAVE IS DIFFICULT TO FIND, BUT IT HAS BEEN THOUGHT TO BE THE FOCAL POINT OF THE GRAY LADY THAT HAUNTS THE LIGHTHOUSE.......... EVERY KEEPER SINCE THE 1950'S HAS REPORTED THE STRANGE GOING-ON.............SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT HAVE BEEN HEARD, OBJECTS HAVE BEEN MOVED OR ARE, MISSING.........CLOSED CUPBOARDS HAVE BEEN OPENED, AND LOST TOOLS HAVE REAPPEAR IN STRANGE PLACES........THE MOST NOTABLE SIGHTING WAS IN 1970, WHEN A MAN WAS IN THE ATTIC WORKING..........WHEN A REFLECTION OF A LADY WITH SILVER HAIR AND A GRAY DRESS WAS FLOATING OVER THE FLOOR.........HE SCREAMED AND RAN OUT OF THE ATTIC.....HE BROKE THE ATTIC WINDOW AND THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE.......WHEN HE RETURNED TO WORK HE WENT TO CLEAN UP THE GLASS......BUT IT WAS ALREADY SWEPT IN A PILE....AND NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE TO CLEAN IT UP...... THEY SAY THE OLD LADY IN GRAY WALKS THE GROUNDS AND PASSES THE BABIES GRAVE...........THE GHOST HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS RUE....AND BELIEVED TO BE THE MOTHER OF THE BABY.

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY................................................................RIZZI
