Oregon Lighthouse Haunting

Play this music first

In Taiwan, every night past 11pm there would be a dozen channels broadcasting paranormal or haunting related talk-shows and movies. It fascinates me how majority of the people are scared shitless about ghosts yet still love to be entertained by horror movies and ghost stories. Well here is a treat for you, stop hiding in front of the screen and experience real paranormal ambiance when you visit the state of Oregon.

On the coast of Oregon, numerous lighthouses are considered to be haunted. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, entering into one of the lighthouses will send chills down your spines. You may not actually hear or see any haunting, but you will sense something is definitely different here.

The Heceta Head Lighthouse is repeatedly haunted by the Lady in Gray, aka Rue. She was once the wife of an assistant light keeper, whose daughter drowned in the nearby waters. Filled with sorrow, Rue committed suicide. The location of the daughter's grave is unknown, but supposedly it is around the surrounding vegetation. This is why Rue appears occasionally to search for her daughter.

Rue is known to move items, set off fire alarms, open and close cupboards, walk up the stairs, and float around the attic. Many painters and maintenance-workers have encountered Rue face to face. What did they do? FLEE IN TERROR. They all refused to enter the lighthouse attic for the rest of their lives. Although these workers fear Rue, she does no harm. In fact, she actually helps clean up the place. Once a worker accidentally broke a window in the attic during his flee, and that night someone heard glass scraping sounds on the hardwood floor. The next morning, the worker found the broken glass have been swept into a neat pile.

Of course these stories are left for you to decide whether they are fact or fiction, but even if you aren't a ghostbuster, the Heceta Head Lighthouse presents a great view of the Pacific Ocean.
