Description
THE SECRET OF LIGHTHOUSE ISLAND
A full moon rises over a lighthouse by the sea on a breezy tropical evening. Just what is the secret of this lighthouse? Who knows. Stories have been told of a lighthouse keeper who fell to his death during the great Florida hurricane of 1926. Some say his ghost still haunts the lighthouse but can only been seen on a night when the full moon is bright and the tide is high.
Okay scary ghost stories aside, this was a full moon rising directly over the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse in South Florida. The lighthouse has been shining it's beacon since 1907 and is a Florida landmark. While the story is fun, there actually was a lighthouse keeper who stayed in the lighthouse during the Florida Hurricane of 1926. He weathered the storm inside the lighthouse as the Category 4 storm raged outside all the while worrying if the lighthouse would stand. Thankfully it did and the lighthouse keeper survived to tell the tale.
