There is no shortage of strange tales and sinister stories when it comes to the bleak and dreary locations of lighthouses. Maine’s infamous Seguin lighthouse for instance, a lighthouse keeper, allegedly driven to madness by his wife’s piano playing, brutally murdered her with an axe before committing suicide. The Pensacola lighthouse in Florida, it was the lighthouse keeper's wife who murdered her husband, stabbing him to death. Before the advent of automated lighthouses, the men and women who tended these buildings lived in near total isolation for long periods of time. Weathering terrifying storms on some of the most inhospitable terrain, lighthouse keepers had the serious duty of keeping ships and their crews from sailing into dangerous waters. The isolation coupled with the heavy responsibility could, it seems, often lead some lighthouse keepers down their own very dark paths of madness, death, and, even sometimes, disappearance. What happened to three men who vanished while attending the lighthouse on a barren island of rock off the west coast of Scotland? What details of their disappearance have kept the mystery alive for so long?
