Dynamic DVD Review: Haunted Lighthouses of the Great Lakes

I have been fascinated by the idea of ghosts for many years. It seems romantic and rather monumental that spirits of past loved ones, caretakers, and even animals still roam the earth diligently performing their daily duties as they did in their lifetimes. 


Southport Video Productions riveting documentary, Haunted Lighthouses of the Great Lakes, sheds some light on the paranormal phenomena surrounding the age-old lighthouses of the Great Lakes region. 


Some of the lighthouse captured in this one-hour film include the Gibraltar Lighthouse, Old Presque Isle Lighthouse and the Chambers Island Lighthouse


All of the stories retold in this film rely on documented claims of actual visitors, employees, and caretakers of the former lighthouses who fully explain tales of the supernatural events whirling within these maritime beacons of light that have protected sailors for decades. 


One of my favorite stories within this DVD was that of the former keeper of the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse whose light continues to illuminate the Lake Huron skies even after the light was removed (and continues to burn brightly to this day!) 


Even after a U.S. Coast Guard investigation, no one has ever found a fact-based reason to why this light burns so brightly (despite no source of electrical wiring, whatsoever). 


This documentary is for those who love things that go bump in the night, the mystique of maritime history, or those that are interested in the history of the Great Lakes region of the United States. 


An overall impressive and thought provoking film!
