Summary
Perched against the rugged cliffs of California’s coastline, the Big Sur Lighthouse has watched over countless ships since its commissioning in 1889. Built as a beacon of safety, it became just as well known for the tragedies it witnessed—storms that swallowed ships whole, sailors lost to the waves, and families who arrived full of hope only to leave long before their first year was done. Isolation, danger, and restless emotion shaped life inside those walls.
But what becomes of that energy when the keepers are gone?
In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the history and hauntings of the Big Sur Lighthouse with Julie Nunes, whose research and experiences shed light on a place where the past refuses to stay quiet. Are the spirits of former lighthouse keepers still tending their post? Do echoes of fear, duty, and heartbreak linger in the structure itself? Or is something else—something older—still keeping watch over the sea? This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 1:45.0 | And the woman stops, turns and looks over her shoulder at the docent, |
| 1:51.0 | smiles, and then disappears in front of her, her eyes. |
| 1:57.0 | And then about six months later, she was taking a break from dusting in the same building, |
| 2:03.4 | and she was sitting on the couch in the limerring room area looking out towards the triplex, |
| 2:09.1 | which is a stone building where three of the families left, and lo and behold, a lighthouse keeper walks by. |
| 2:17.3 | None of the other docent's dress like that. |
