Summary

In Episode 307 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger row out to Conimicut Lighthouse off the coast of Warwick, Rhode Island, to search for the tragic ghosts who haunt the rusting relic in the water. Back in 1922, lighthouse keeper Ellsworth Smith and his family lived in the cramped quarters of Conimicut Lighthouse, but it was more than Nellie Smith could take. She poisoned her children and herself when her husband was at shore forever haunting the lonely lighthouse.
