A beautiful structure meant to guide sailors home safely. A benevolent keeper who gladly hosted soldiers for a drink. But that kindness may have gotten him killed, and left him forever tending the island’s light. Is this just a creepy old building or the eternal home to a restless soul? This week's episode is The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse.
