We have a haunted lighthouse in Oregon

Tweet

Maybe all the old lighthouse keeper's homes are haunted. But this one, at Heceta Head, near Florence, Oregon has the reputation of one the "most haunted places on the West Coast." Photo is the lighthouse itself, will add the B & B after comment. It is now a bed and breakfast, with spectacular views and I'm sure the "haunted" part is good publicity. We have not stayed there yet, though it is only 70 miles or so away, but friends who were there reported some ghostly goings on, such as someone sitting down on the bed they were in. The wispy, figure of a woman called "Rue" is often seen. She is not really scary, does nothing to frighten guests, but seems to be a sort of ghostly caretaker. Sweeping sounds have been heard at night Rue is even seen in day times occasionally. The story goes that "Rue" was a lighthouse keeper's wife with two daughters, one of whom drowned. After Rue died, she returned to the lighthouse searching for her daughter. There is an overgrown grave on the hillside too. Even if you scoff at ghost stories (I am agnostic), this is quite a tale. There are many online tales of this story and even on one YouTube. Here is a link to one: https://goo.gl/wzgZrQ Have you ever stayed in a "haunted" house?
