That night the couple living there heard sounds in the attic and the next day discovered the glass neatly swept into a pile. Working outside, he broke an attic window, but didn’t go in to clean up the glass. He ran out of the attic, and would only come back to work if he didn’t have to climb into the attic.
#First female lighthouse keeper in oregon windows#
A worker in the ’70s cleaning attic windows noticed a reflection on the glass and turned to face the eternal visage of a silver-haired woman in a long, dark dress. A month earlier her husbandkeeper at the Coquille Lighthousehad died, and the Lighthouse Service saw fit to hire his widow, making her not the first female keeper. An 1890’s silk stocking replaced a box of rat poison. IN MARCH 1903 Mabel Bretherton and her three children, ages 7, 9, and 10, arrived at Cape Blanco Lighthouse, where Bretherton had been hired as an assistant lighthouse keeper. One family heard screams and several times found things moved or missing. Nearly all the residents of the station since the ’50s have reported unexplainable things. Guests have reported some friendly encounters with Rue. Caretakers, college students and construction workers have claimed that strange unexplained occurrences have taken place inside the house. There are tales of a headstone in the vegetation on the property that has never been found.
A Ouija Board revealed the name Rue, but there’s dispute whether that was the name of the woman or the child. Ghost story always associated with Heceta House was that in the 1890’s was that of a woman, wife of an assistant keeper, whose young child died while at the lighthouse. The home is considered the most haunted house in Oregon. You can tour the living quarters of the lighthouse keepers and enjoy a magnificent.
The former lighthouse keeper's home is now a bed and breakfast in a very unique setting with a short hike to the lighthouse. This is your first big Oregon beach experience, and its a doozy.
