lighthouse_huntOwl’s Head Lighthouse, 5/25/2024. Visited this lighthouse on an impromptu trip to Maine last year. Little did we know that they had just opened for the season that day, but we got there *just* too late to catch a tour. We even went back the next day, but missed it then too. Bummer! Anyway, despite missing the tour, this was still a really fun lighthouse to visit. It’s perched high up overlooking the ocean, and the view is incredible! If you’re into ghost stories, there are apparently many involving this lighthouse.
I don’t believe in ghosts (I’m no fun, I get it), but I do like pets. The last picture is the grave marker of Spot, who was the light keeper’s dog who served from 1930 to 1945, and according to www.lighthousefriends.com (such a great resource), would ring the fog bell anytime a ship would go by - and the ships knew to ring their fog bell or sound their horn in response. Which is awesome. RIP Spot!
