The Lighthouse on Ocracoke

The lighthouse in NC is on Ocracoke Island It is a beautiful sight from the air. I was with my choir director one time on a Sunday afternoon. It was a first for me being that high up in the air. I wasn't scared i was delighted. It thrilled me to see the sound and the lighthouse.

It made me think of a mystery that happened about a lighthouse that is purely fictional. There was a lighthouse one time that was unattended to for sometime. It was a place that was scary for some and a haven for the rest. There wss a homeless man who found the lighthouse to be his. He entered the door and settled down for the night. He looked for someone to come and throw him out but no one ever did. So, he made it home and little did he know that there was a ghost that had the place to himself before the homeless man got there.

One night the homeless man, Jerry, heard a sound in the lighthouse. He looked around and saw nothing. He heard the sound again and it got closer. Then, low and behold, the two met. The ghost was a bearded man with yellow eyes. Jerry was a white man and turned even whiter when he saw the ghost. They came to an understanding and the both of them lived in the lighthouse until the very day that Jerry passed away.
