The Lighthouse Log: Strange entries from lonely stations around the coast

Walter Finch

You settle into Bertram Voss's steady, salt-worn voice as he reads from a collection of odd, melancholy records left by lighthouse keepers in isolated towers along the coast. You will hear how these men filled their complaint books with more than weather reports: strange sightings, unexplained sounds, the machinery that groans through haunted midnights, and the particular loneliness of sharing a watch with someone who might not be there. Voss paces each chapter like a man walking a spiral staircase, letting the silence between words carry weight. You will learn the texture of lamp room life, the ritual of coast walks, and how keepers made peace with towers that seemed to breathe around them. Press play when the wind is up.
