Perched high above the crashing waves of the Pacific, Heceta Head Lighthouse has guided sailors since the late 1800s—but it’s not just ships that have felt its presence. In this episode, we delve into the rich history and ghostly lore surrounding one of the most beautiful and haunted lighthouses in America. From the mysterious "Gray Lady" said to haunt the keeper’s quarters to chilling encounters reported by guests and staff, we explore the line where maritime history meets the supernatural. Is it just the wind and sea—or does something else linger at Heceta Head?
