The haunted lighthouse of Manitinicus in Maine is haunted by one of its past keepers. Many people don’t realize that lighthouse keepers often committed suicide because of the life of solitude and loneliness that they lived. The lighthouse of Manitinicus is one such case. After the keeper committed suicide, the government hired another lighthouse keeper to fill the position. But the next keeper was a little too curious for his own good.

The new lighthouse keeper was wandering around inside the lighthouse one evening when he came across an area that seemed to have been closed off. Taking off the boards that were over the area and forcing his way in, the new keeper eventually made his way inside to what he saw was a small kitchen. As soon as he stepped in however, cupboard doors started flying open and dishes flew off the table. Light bulbs that were once firmly in place in their sockets suddenly shattered, or blew right out as soon as they were replaced.

Very soon after the new keeper opened the area and unleashed all the paranormal activity, the area was immediately reclosed again and peace returned to the lighthouse. Until one day when some inspectors came to see the lighthouse. Because they needed to inspect the entire building, the area that was closed off was opened once again. As soon as that happened, the chaos returned. The inspectors were so frightened that they ordered the area to be closed permanently and they never spoke of their experience again. In their report, they reported that there was “nothing unusual” about the lighthouse.
