Ghoul Interrupted

The Flannan Isles Lighthouse Keepers


Listen Later

In December 1900, the lighthouse on the remote Flannan Isles went dark.

When a relief ship reached Eilean Mòr days later, the station was found locked, maintained, and eerily normal — but the three men assigned to keep the light burning were gone.

No bodies were recovered.

No definitive moment of disaster was ever identified.
Only storm damage, unanswered questions, and a silence that has lingered for more than a century.

In this episode of Ghoul Interrupted, we walk through the full story of the Flannan Isles Lighthouse Keepers from beginning to end... who the men were, what the ship’s crew discovered, how the official investigation unfolded, and the theories that emerged in the absence of certainty.

This is not a story of violence or spectacle.

It’s a story of isolation, routine, and how quickly both can unravel.

A quiet maritime mystery and one that still refuses to feel finished.
