Haunted Lighthouse
The Florence, Oregon lighthouse, built in 1894, is said to be haunted by
the ghost of the "Gray Lady," who is perhaps the mother of an unknown baby
whose grave has been found on the grounds. Also known as "Rue," the ghost
is known for moving objects, opening and closing cupboard doors and other
strange occurrences. One workman claimed to have come face-to-face with
Rue in the attic and fled in terror. Days later, while working on the
exterior of the building, he accidentally broke one of the attic's
windows, but refused to go up there to repair it. He instead repaired it
from the outside, leaving the broken glass scattered across the attic
floor. That night, workers heard scraping noises in the attic. When they
checked it out the next morning, all of the broken glass had been swept
into a neat pile. Even today, some report that they have seen an elderly
woman looking down from an attic window.
