Subject: A Lighthouse with No Keeper
For years, the Beacon’s Edge lighthouse had shone steadily across the bay, guiding
ships through fog and storm. But when a cargo vessel crashed on a clear night, the
coast guard discovered the light had been out—and the keeper missing. No logs, no
signs of struggle, and no explanation.
Locals whispered of the “Warden of the Rocks,” an old legend about a spirit drawn
to lighthouses. The keeper, Evan, was known to be meticulous, never missing a shift
in fifteen years. Yet his quarters were untouched. The tea on the stove was still
warm. A single boot rested by the stairwell.
Weeks passed without answers. Then, one night, the light came on again. No one had
been assigned to the post. When investigators returned, the room was empty once
more—except for the missing boot, now placed carefully at the top of the stairs.
