Date: September 26, 2009

The weather was windy with drizzle and light rain throughout the investigation.

The lighthouse had activity throughout the night with our investigators spotting shadow apparitions along the walls of the 228 steps that climb this magnificent keeper of the night. Nothing showed up visual on digital cameras or video.

While two of our investigators had an unexplainable occurrence of the door opening and shutting on it's own while investigating inside the small historical oil building. It happened twice while they were in there. Both times the door was checked very carefully to make sure it was closed tight. With the 4 other groups of investigators that went in to take their turn investigating had no occurrence with the door opening and shutting the rest of the night.
