CONNECTICUT’S HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSES

New London Ledge Light House

Well, I must say that the New London Ledge Light House is the locally most famous place for the ghost in the world. The ghost’s name is Ernie who has been haunting the house allegedly.

The coastguard has a crew to the duty at that place who has even reported to the unexplained knockings that take place during the nighttime.

The area is haunting consistently with the closing the opening in the repeated pattern.

The turning on and off the television sporadically and many other accidental removals of the sheets from the beds have turned on the curiosity among people to visit it at least once in their life.

It is the Coast Guard officer who has even written in the log of the crew and explained the incident of the New London Ledge Light House.

He said about the automated light system had got installed. Also, many reporters have gone inside the place to know more about the ghost of Ernie.

The reporters noted the noises of someone whispering in the whole night, and they had captured it with themselves on their cameras.

Also, the place has many other featured of the paranormal activities and other reality shows like Ghost Hunters.

However, many other researchers continued to say that there was no evidence for the paranormal events that were taking place in that area. They had not explained the cold spots.

Minot’s Ledge Light House

Minot Ledge is the one out of many rocky outcroppings off from the coast of Cohasset and Scituate. It has also been the scene of the countless shipwrecks.

In the year 1842, the Inspector named I. W. P. Lewis who provides service to the New London Ledge Light House had emphasized the need on the Minot’s Ledge.

Also, he has sustained his judgment by Captain William H. Swift. The captain recommended him that an iron-pile the lighthouse which would offer him with the less resistance to waves than the stone tower.

The Location of Ledge Lighthouse

The building of the New London Ledge Light House stands alone in the sea area and on the tiny human made island.

The building has even turned to be the symbol of the maritime New London.

Now people know the place with the name of New London Ledge Light House. It lies in the mouth of the Thames River, and thus it has served us a lot for the century.

In around 1900, the board of New London Ledge Light House had determined that there was an increase in the boat traffic to the New London harbor such that they warranted a new house that would act as the supplement to New London Harbor Light on Pequot Avenue.

The process of the authorization of the building began in the year 1906 by the United States Senate.

Then the New London Ledge Light House got created in the year 1987 with the goal to tend the construction of the lighthouse.

The work was under the non-profit organization. The goal was to restore the area lightly and thus publicize history.

The management had to reuse the whole museum, gallery, and tourist attraction.

The Ledge Light House Ghost

There is Ernie who is the ghost today. His younger wife has run off with the captain of the Island Ferry.

Thus, he felt loneliness and was full of grief such that he climbed up on the roof of the house and thus jumped. However, still, people have not found his body.

However, people believe that his business is still not over with the New London Ledge Light House.

There were many facts about Ernie which would be sometimes hard for us to come by. However, people have come with some stories.

We do not know even that if he existed or not to somewhat of the mood point by now.

He has also grown as a legend, and he has a good association with this Lighthouse such that it would be real even.

Green’s Ledge Light

It is the historical place present in the western Long Island Sound near Norwalk.

Today the New London Ledge Light House has become a typical example for the prefabricated cast iron light tower on the tubular foundation.

New London Ledge House Haunted

Well, the first thing that makes the haunted place is the loneliness of the house in the water.

It stands on the human-made island and the unique landmark to disturb the public that visits it.

Many people have reported going on. Some people said about the negligible footsteps and the opening and the closing of the doors by themselves.

Also, the guard had listened to his name being called from the upstairs when the man was sleeping. Well, many people have talked about the helpful ghost, Ernie, The Keeper.

Ernie committed suicide when his wife ran off away with the captain. Moreover, from that time the strange things had begun to happen at that place.

Being the keeper, Ernie is still helping to clean the house and thus remove the dust from the windows.
