LIGHTHOUSE (MYSTERY OF EILEAN MOR)

The first book to uncover what really happened to the lighthouse keepers who mysteriously vanished from Eilean Mor in 1900. The last entry in the lighthouse logbook had been made on 15 December and contained a number of strange and distressing entries that offered clues as to the mental state of the men. One was reported to have been crying while another had become ‘very quiet’. And when it was revealed that the men’s oilskin coats were found to be missing and the clock in the lighthouse had stopped, inevitable theories surrounding the keepers’ fates were soon put forward. These included a giant wave washing them away, murder and suicide by the men themselves, and more esoteric explanations as Eilean Mor was believed to have mystical properties.
