GREAT LAKES LIGHTHOUSES>
Wisconsin and Michigan are two of the Great Lakes States with many lighthouses and of course many sources of stories. This is one from the source: https://www.thepernateam.com/blog/michigan-folklore-top-myths-legends--tales-stories-from-the-great-lakes/
Old Presque Isle Lighthouse – The Eternal Light
Michigan’s lighthouses are picturesque by day – and apparently paranormal by night. The Old Presque Isle Lighthouse, perched on Lake Huron’s shore, is famous for a ghostly light that refuses to dim. This 1870s lighthouse was decommissioned and its lamp removed, yet locals swear that every evening at sunset the tower’s light mysteriously glows again, then extinguishes itself at dawn. According to legend, this started after the last keeper, George Parris, passed away – leading many to believe his spirit still dutifully tends the light. Visitors have also described hearing phantom screams from the tower, allegedly from a keeper’s wife who met a tragic end. Whether it’s the echo of old maritime tragedies or just atmospheric tricks, Presque Isle’s eternal light remains a captivating Michigan mystery drawing curious travelers up the sunrise coast.
