Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Built in 1889, the Big Sur Lighthouse was meant to guide ships safely along the rugged California coastline—but not all ships made it. What began as a beacon for sailors quickly became a haunting ground for families who lived in its shadow. The isolation, the anxiety, and the constant reminder of lives lost to the sea made Big Sur Lighthouse a place where spirits may never leave. Julie Nunes joins us in today’s episode of The Grave Talks to explore the lingering hauntings and whether the energy of those who lived and worked there still echoes through the lighthouse—or if it's the spirits themselves keeping the lights burning from the other side. This is Part Two of our conversation.

0:37.1	headkeeper's house, and she was in the first bedroom upstairs.
0:43.3	And the door's kind of noisy when you open and close it in that house. And she heard somebody
0:50.1	walking on the stairs. And so she peeks out and she sees this woman in 1900 dress,
1:00.0	you know, a skirt, dark skirt to the ankle, white blouse with like poofy around the shoulders,
1:08.0	long sleeve, button collar buttoned up all the way, hair up in a bun,
1:14.5	and the woman stops, turns and looks over his shoulder at the docent, smiles, and then disappears
1:24.0	in front of her, her eyes. And then about six months later,
1:30.3	she was taking a break from dusting in the same building,
1:33.3	and she was sitting on the couch in the limerium area
1:36.3	looking out towards the triplex, which is a stone building,
1:40.3	where three of the families left, and lo and behold, a lighthouse keeper walks by.
1:47.5	None of the other docent's dress like that.
1:50.1	She knows all of the docents that show up for restoration, and he was there, and then he wasn't there.
1:59.9	Just walking by.
