    Bodie Island Lighthouse

    Nags HeadUnited States1847 / 1872

    Bodie Island Lighthouse, located near Nags Head on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is a magnificent 156-foot black-and-white horizontal striped beacon completed in 1872. Standing near Oregon Inlet, it is the third lighthouse built to mark the treacherous shoals south of Roanoke Island after previous towers suffered structural collapse and Civil War demolition. Restored by the National Park Service and housing an original functioning First-Order Fresnel lens, the lighthouse and keeper's quarters are renowned for phantom footsteps, unseen lightkeepers, and lingering spectral voices.

    Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

    BuxtonUnited States1802 / 1870

    Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, standing on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in Buxton, is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States at 198 feet. Guarding the treacherous shoals known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, this iconic black-and-white spiraled beacon was constructed in 1870 to replace an earlier 1802 stone tower. In 1999, the entire 4,800-ton structure was historically moved 2,900 feet inland to protect it from severe beach erosion. Beyond its engineering legacy, the lighthouse and surrounding maritime grounds host enduring ghost stories involving phantom lightkeepers, phantom cat apparitions, and tragic shipwrecks.

    Conimicut Lighthouse

    WarwickUnited States1883

    Standing offshore on a rocky shoal at the mouth of the Providence River where it meets Narragansett Bay, Conimicut Lighthouse is a historic 58-foot cast-iron 'sparkplug' lighthouse in Warwick, Rhode Island. Constructed in 1883 using pneumatic caisson engineering to replace an earlier 1868 wooden structure, it served as a vital navigational aid guiding commercial shipping vessels into Providence harbor. Notable as one of the very last lighthouses in the United States to convert from acetylene gas to electricity, the isolated maritime outpost carries a rich history of solitary keepers, ice floe disasters, disembodied footsteps, and mysterious lantern lights.

    New London Ledge Lighthouse

    New LondonUnited States1909

    Perched on a concrete pier at the mouth of the Thames River in Long Island Sound, New London Ledge Lighthouse is one of New England's most striking maritime landmarks. Built in 1909 in a distinctive French Second Empire architectural style, this three-story brick beacon was constructed to guide heavy shipping traffic into New London Harbor. Beyond its vital maritime history, Ledge Light is internationally famous as one of the most actively haunted lighthouses in the United States, renowned for its resident ghost, 'Ernie' — a former lightkeeper whose spirit continues to polish brass, secure doors, and play harmless pranks on visitors.
