• The island is located six miles off the coast of Maine and is notoriously desolate, barren, and dangerous.
• The pair reflect on their own ancestry and jokingly debate the probability of having cannibals “somewhere back there.”

Notable Quote

[08:49] The Nottingham Galley & Cannibalism (1710)

• The main story: December 1710, the Nottingham Galley crashes on Boon Island during a nor’easter.
• All 14 crew survive the initial wreak. The island, a low, barren rock, offered no food or shelter.
• Starving and freezing, the men eventually resort to eating their deceased carpenter to survive.
• Rescued after 24 days; only 10 survive. Upon rescue, they are stigmatized as “the Cannibals of Boon Island.”
• Corinne and Sabrina discuss the psychological toll—trauma, survivor’s guilt, rumors, and whether consuming human flesh can make people “go mad.”

Notable Quotes

“To keep themselves alive, they consumed seaweed. They gnawed on their leather shoes, and they sucked frozen moisture from rocks. Hunger clotted their insides. Insanity began to fray.”
— Corinne (12:39)

• After a fierce nor’easter, Lucas dies in a tragic accident while tending the light.
• Catherine retrieves his body in her grief and, alone for days, keeps the lighthouse burning until help arrives. She dies shortly after rescue, likely from heartbreak and exposure.
• Catherine’s ghost is still seen—reports of a “lady in white,” ghostly knocks, and the lighthouse light being tended mysteriously.
• Interviews with later lighthouse keepers and coast guard staff recount strange happenings: doors opening, the light turning on without explanation, and animals behaving fearfully.

Notable Quotes

“Her only solace was the presence of her husband’s body below, which she continued to tenderly embrace each night.”
— Corinne (26:46)

[41:31] Listener Story: "The Angelic Rescue at Ogunquit Beach"

• While stuck in a river riptide, Madison sees a “glowing” woman and girl—mirror images of herself and her aunt—who throw them a rescue tube.
• After being saved, the mysterious pair vanish instantly and are nowhere to be found. No one on the crowded beach saw them, nor did anyone recognize the description.
• Sabrina and Corinne discuss whether these were guardian angels, their doppelgangers, or spirits of past victims—marveling at how paranormal encounters are not always dark.

[B]

Very spooky. Hey.

[A]

Okay, quick interruption. Before we get into the story of this episode, we have really exciting news. We are having a one time two girls, one ghost live show. I'm calling it Ghost Girls guide to paranormal investigations.

[B]

Oh, I like that. We'll adopt that.

[A]

You like it? Okay. I'm calling it. I've been calling it that in my head. We have not talked to anyone about that.

[B]

We'll decide that right now.

[A]

Right now, you're the first to know. And you're the first to know that you can get tickets. Now get your tickets. Come see us on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. Just because this will live in this episode forever. Wednesday, October 8th, and it is at the arts at the Armory in Somerville, Massachusetts. Doors are at 7.30pm do you want to tell everyone what we're talking about?

[B]

Corinne, we did an investigation. Should we say where?

[A]

No.

[B]

Okay. A couple years ago, we went to a place that seemed unassuming. Seemed like maybe just a couple little polite haunts. And that is not what happened there. There was something demonic and we captured some damning evidence, potentially a photo as well.

[A]

We didn't know much about the house.

[B]

No.

[A]

And so we're gonna do the live show is gonna be footage from our investigation, maybe a special guest appearance or two. And a lot of history, a lot of hauntings and a lot of fun because we're fun over here at Two Girls One Goes.

[B]

Right. Just for friends. We're just time together.

[A]

You is.

[B]

We're coming to our show October 8th at Arts at the Armory.

[A]

We'll see you there. We'll see you there. Okay, back to the episode.

[B]

Hey. Hi.

[A]

I'm gonna put on my Disguise.

[B]

Great.

[A]

So that it looks different from the last episode we recorded.

[B]

We were gonna record this next week and then we were like, let's just.

[A]

Do it also for the sake of our editor so she doesn't have to edit it in like a day. Yeah. Hi.

[B]

Thank God. I did the research.

[A]

Thank Goolie Gush.

[B]

This is two girls on ghost. Two girls on one ghost.

[A]

We are your ghostesses. That is Corinne.

[B]

Hello.

[A]

I am Sabrina. Hello. And where are we going today?

[B]

Oh, we are going to a wee little island just six miles off the coast of Maine amongst the dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean. But this is barren, it is desolate, and it is a place where few dare to tread.

[A]

Okay, so what I was thinking is probably not what we should do. I was like, how cool would it be if we could just easily pop on over to what places we're talking about and we're recording from them. But then you set it up like that. And I'm like, okay, we're not going to this one. We're not going there.

[B]

No. There was opportunity for an adventure, but we declined it. We are stopping it here because we're going to talk about Boon Island. This is a small island that has been killing people for centuries. Known for.

[A]

This is like, not at all what I was expecting this episode to be at all.

[B]

Yeah, this is about killers and cannibals, sort of.

[A]

Wait, this is the cannibal one?

[B]

This is the one I thought it was in three weeks. It's actually this one.

[A]

I'm so glad we're recording it now.

[B]

Straight into cannibalism. Okay, so Boon Island. Known for its dark history and a possible curse, this island has blood soaked rocks, tortured souls and cannibals. This is an island that brings people to the brink of total insanity, forces people to question their own morals, and has birthed many hauntings. This is the nightmare of Boon Island.

[A]

Thunder and lightning crack down upon us.

[B]

I actually first learned of Boon island because when I do the sailing regatta race with my uncle out to the Isle of Shoals, you can see Boon island in the distance.

[A]

And that's the closest you ever want to get to it.

[B]

Yeah. I was like, oh, what's that island? He goes, that's Boon island where they all ate each other. Oh, my God.

[A]

So creepy runs in your family.

[B]

Yes. Love it. Also, that uncle is literally a descendant of one of the accused Salem witches.

[A]

I thought you were going to say literally descendant of a cannibal from Boon Island. No, that's a cooler descendant.

[B]

I hope not. Okay, 1682, a trading vessel loses control in the rough seas and collides with Boon Island.

[A]

Sorry. Now I'm just thinking about how many of my ancestors have cannibalized, and there's probably a good amount of them.

[B]

You think?

[A]

I mean, think about how far back our lineage goes. One of them's bound to have eaten human for survival.

[B]

I don't know. Yeah, but you're not, like, super white, and I feel like a lot of the white people did it when they came to America.

[A]

Okay, so how many of my ancestors were eaten? One of those must be true.

[B]

Oh, my God. It would be an interesting thing for a genealogy project to figure out. Eaten alive. All right, so a trading vessel in 1682 collides with Boon Island. The ship is completely destroyed, and only four men survive. There are three white European men and one native American man. The men survive the frigid sea air, the crashing waves. They're huddling together. They're collecting eggs from the goals that are nesting there on the rocky shores. They're catching fish. They're doing whatever they can to stay alive. One month after this collision happens, as they begin to sort of, like, accept their fate, you know, the weather is changing. Fall and winter is soon to come, and they will probably die. With all the storms that come then there's a small glimmer of hope, a chance of rescue, because the four men shield their eyes from the sun that's glistening brightly on the chippy water. On the choppy water.

[A]

It's not chippy. There's no chipper here.

[B]

They stare adamantly at the mainland. And, no, their eyes are not deceiving them. They see smoke near Mount Agamenticus. People were there on Boon Island. No, they were looking in the mainland. They were on Boon Island. They see smoke. There's a fire up in the mountain on the mainland. And so they're like, oh, my God. People are close.

[A]

People are near. Just, like, for my brain. How far is Boon Island? Off of the coast, like, six miles. So you couldn't.

[B]

You can't swim.

[A]

You can't swim? Well, you could, but it would be very difficult to.

[B]

Like, the water is, like, decently choppy there.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And also, there are great wet sharks.

[A]

It's so sad because it's like seeing the mainland knowing it's that close, but then not being able to reach it would be way more maddening than being, like, literally in the middle of nowhere without any mainland.

[B]

And I have no idea. I'm talking on my butt right now. I have no idea how the currents are right there, but not too far away. A few miles away, there is a river that has some of the worst currents in the world. So I would imagine it would be really difficult even for the best of swimmers. Okay, so they're like, oh, my gosh, there's a chance people are near the shore. People are building a fire on the mainland. We need a signal that we're out here. So very quickly, the foremen gather what they can on the island. They build a fire of their own. The smoke signal lets up into the air, and they are spotted. They are about to be saved. It totally works. A group departs from the main land and goes and rescues the four men. But these men, by comparison, lived a much gentler life on Boon island when compared to what happens to another group just a couple decades later. Famous poet Celia Thaxter once described Boon island as, quote, the forlonest place that can be imagined.

[A]

Oh, pleasant.

[B]

Chippy, chippy, chippy. Perhaps if she added words like depraved and perilous, the description might be a little closer to what these people experienced. December 11, 1710. Winter. Aboard a merchant vessel named the Nottingham Galley, Captain John Dean guided his crew to New England. From England, they were carrying a large cargo of butter and cheese. Yum. Ooh, you'd think they would.

[A]

I want a nice sandwich. Yeah, that sounds so good.

[B]

The sky and the sea were blending together. It was like a dreary December day, and the air is starting to get sharper. It's starting to get colder. And soon, rain slashed down on the boat like needles falling from the sky. The wind screamed. The waves rose like mountains around the doomed vessel. For the Nottingham galley had found itself in the middle of a nor'. Easter. And if you've ever been a part of a nor', easter, get inside or you're. The wooden timbers of the ship were not enough to fight against Mother Nature. This is like a very intense winter storm, and they're out in the middle of the ocean. Despite the captain and crew's attempt to maintain control of their ship, it is now the dead of night, and the ship struck Boon Island's jagged rocks. It splintered the hull. It threw the crew violently into the freezing ocean. But miraculously, all 14 members of the crew survived this crash.

[A]

It's also wild. There's only 14 crew members going from England to New England.

[B]

I know that's a small. Kind of a small ship, too. It has to be if there's only 14 of them. So they're scrambling desperately onto this tiny desolate island in the middle of a storm they can probably barely see.

[A]

It's also in the middle of the night where half of them sleep.

[B]

Like, you're probably startled awake. Oh, my God. Yeah.

[A]

Have to survive.

[B]

Right. I'm, like, truly shocked that they were all able to even scramble on shore. Like the. Just imagine how rough the seas are too. Like, I. Yeah. That in itself, terrifying. A miracle. But Boone island offered these men no comfort, especially in the middle of winter. Especially in the middle of a nor'. Easter. Just 700ft long and 300ft wide, this island is little more than just a barren rock.

[A]

I was going to ask, are there any trees or any, like, type of foliage for shelter or is it just rock?

[B]

Yeah, this is just a rock.

[A]

Okay. It's not like you can build a fortress or like.

[B]

No.

[A]

Tie some leaves together to block the rain. You're just in.

[B]

This is a rock, and this is not like a high elevation rock. This is probably like ocean waves are probably slapping you even if you're standing in the middle when there's a storm.

[A]

Great.

[B]

Chippy, chippy. So the island's especially brutal and harsh with these winter elements. And these survivors have no food, no shelter, no warmth. The butter and the cheese has been taken by the sea. Oh, no. And for these guys, it's the middle of winter, so there's no sea birds laying eggs. There's no easy fishing around the island. They don't have the luxuries, quote unquote, that the a couple decades before had when they were shipwrecked.

[A]

Q. Cannibalism.

[B]

Yep. So their first night there is torture. They huddled together. Their bodies are trembling uncontrollably against the biting cold. And days passed. Hope dwindled. The men constructed a makeshift shelter, using some wreckage and debris from their boat to try to keep themselves alive.

[A]

But they're also already soaking wet. And it's winter in Maine. Like, even with a roof over your head in the 1700s, you're freaking cold.

[B]

Yeah. And you're on an island in the ocean. It is so much colder there. I'm shocked that they survived more than one day.

[A]

Jesum.

[B]

To keep themselves alive, they consumed seaweed. They gnawed on their leather shoes, and they sucked frozen moisture from rocks. Hunger clotted their insides. Insanity began to fray. Tempers flared. Arguments broke out. Trust eroded into suspicion and paranoia, which we'll talk about some of the rumors in a minute. And the breaking point came when one of their own, the ship's carpenter, succumbed to starvation. The men stood above their now Dead friend, cold, beaten by the elements, desperate now a little bit mad. And their stomachs grumbled and their minds swirled to unthinkable thoughts. And soon a decision made out of survival overcame them all. Together they would dine on their first meaningful meal that became accessible to them.

[A]

Have you watched Yellowjacket season two yet?

[B]

No, not yet. Okay, well, now I know they ate one of them.

[A]

Well, it's implied. In the very beginning, in season one, like, episode one, it's implied that there's some cannibalism, but the episode where it happens is pretty much like that.

[B]

Wow. Now I'm starting to think of, like, what would I do in this situation? I don't know.

[A]

I think it depends on the situation.

[B]

If.

[A]

Okay, if we are who we are now and we end up on an island, Noah's here at home, and, like, you are going to get back to him, you wouldn't think twice. You would have guilt later. But I think you'd be acting in survival.

[B]

Yeah, I think you'd have. I do think.

[A]

I think you'd have hesitation if it were me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, I hope you'd have hesitation.

[B]

Before we got to cannibalism, I think I would already be attempting to swim to shore.

[A]

Yeah, same.

[B]

I think I would drown in an attempt to escape.

[A]

Well, and then also, it's winter. It's that cold. I don't actually.

[B]

Yeah, you can't. I wouldn't even do that because I would know. I wouldn't.

[A]

I have heard hypothermia is a not so terrible way to go because your body, like, thinks you're actually, like, like, hot, and then, like, you kind of giggle. I don't know.

[B]

Oh, my God. This is a horrible way to die.

[A]

As I just said, I heard it's not terrible. It's all terrible.

[B]

Yeah. And it was terrible for this group. For their carpenter just died and they're all around him and they all decide to eat him to try to survive. So they parted their friend's flesh from his bones. Sorry.

[A]

I'm sorry.

[B]

I was in a deep place when I wrote this, and now I feel like the way we're delivering it.

[A]

They parted his flesh from his bones.

[B]

Yeah, they had to pry.

[A]

You just presented that as if, like, the biblical verse of they part, the Red Sea was parted.

[B]

Oh, I was thinking about, like, when you eat ribs.

[A]

I don't eat meat, so I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe consuming meat with parting.

[B]

I think it's a thing.

[A]

I believe you. It just is disturbing. You're sick.

[B]

Unless it's, like, just the group of people I've eaten ribs with. Part those ribs, part the meat from the bone.

[A]

Sorry. We're joking. Because this is so, like, sickening.

[B]

Reluctantly, they swallow pieces of their friend, sustaining their own bodies for just a little while longer.

[A]

You're really, like, dragging out the. Like you could have. It was one sentence.

[B]

We just keep interrupting.

[A]

They ate his friend.

[B]

Their friend.

[A]

Yeah, okay.

[B]

They ate. They ate. 14 men first crashed onto the shore of Boon Island. But weeks later, only 10 of them would be rescued from the rock.

[A]

That's pretty impressive.

[B]

It is. Two had died from injuries, one of them being the carpenter. Two drown in an attempt to reach shore in a makeshift raft. 24 days after the shipwreck, a passing ship spotted smoke from Boon island, finally rescuing the emaciated, haunted men. Jeez. But the ordeal was not over, for the horrific truth of their survival spread quickly. And the sailors found themselves shunned, isolated, forever tainted by their gruesome deeds. Cannibals of Boon Island. Rumors began to circulate, and not just about their cannibalism. There was also rumors about what happened and why. So one of the stories, one of the pieces of gossip that emerged was that there was a conflict between the captain and his first mate, whose name was Christopher Langman. Langman claimed that Captain Dean was going to. Actually, he had, like, overheard a plot, basically, by the captain to turn the ship over to some French privateers and wreck the ship for insurance money. And so Langman, after learning of this plan, alerted the rest of the crew, and they all gather, and they're forcing Dean now to actually change direction of the ship and navigate down to Boston. And based on that move, they weren't aware of Boon island existing. And that's why they crashed in the middle of the night, in the middle of the nor', easter, into this island, because they were changing course and. And not aware of the terrain. So that was one of the rumors.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Who knows the truth? The exaggeration? Just gossip born from a crazy story that's already spreading like wildfire. We have no idea.

[A]

But the men also keep in mind, like, now post, everything that's happened. There's probably so much survivor guilt. There's so much, like, there's trauma. There's so much trauma that's come from this that, like, they're all significantly, drastically changed people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That. Who knows what type of toll that takes on each of them that they need to share, like, foretell a narrative.

[B]

And even what they hallucinated, too. Right. Like, maybe they truly believe some of this stuff happened. You know, there's a lot of evidence about going mad anyway when consuming human meat. So even though it might like sustain your body, your mind is severely damaged.

[A]

Well then also I imagine like 14 men on an island trying to survive. Like, the amount of arguments had, like, because people had different ideas or wanted to try different things. And just like, how do you. It's one thing to be on a ship and you have your rankings, it's another to be in life or death. What do you do? How do people act?

[B]

Right? So these men suffered greatly on Boon island and also suffered greatly just with the weight of their own actions and their attempt to survive. And Boon island, too, bore the weight of their tragedy, for its shores were forever marked by that desperate winter.

[A]

Your lashes are looking luxurious and very long right now.

[B]

They have been for the past few years because I've started using Thrive Cosmetics mascara years ago and have turned so many people onto it. It's the best. It's my favorite. That is like when people say, like, what are three items that you'd bring to a desert island with you? Mas this mascara is like my only makeup.

[A]

The Liquid Lash Extensions mascara. It's the best. Thrive Cosmetics is your go to for a simple, clean and radiant summer look. Minimal effort, maximum impact. Every product is 100% vegan, cruelty free, and made with clean skin loving ingredients that work with your skin, not against it. I agree. The Liquid Lash Extensions mascara is my absolute favorite. I love the way that it has like the tubing which makes your lashes look extra long by wrapping around each lash from root to tip. But I also love their brilliant eye brightener. I just see like a little bit in my corner of my eyes.

[B]

It's so nice. They have different shades of them too, which are really pretty. Like, I love the a more coppery look in the winter and then they're like lighter, shimmery in the summer.

In 1811, a stone lighthouse was built 32ft above the water. And then 20 years later, it was redone to stand 49ft. But it was still not enough to withstand the harsh conditions that kept getting damaged. And so then another 20 years later, the lighthouse was rebuilt once more, and the three men who built the tower supposedly succumbed to the island's curse and drowned on their voyage back to the mainland.

[A]

Jeez.

[B]

But now the lighthouse was complete, and hopefully the deaths would stop. Right. So the Boon island lighthouse is 133ft of massive granite blocks built to withstand the storms. It is the tallest lighthouse in New England. It takes up basically the whole island, and every lighthouse needs a keeper and honorable mention to the site. New England Lighthouse Stories because this site had most of the information regarding this lighthouse keeper that we're about to talk about. In the mid-1800s, Lucas Bright, who was recently appointed as the first assistant keeper, arrived to Boon island with his young bride, Catherine.

[A]

Oh, I mean, he brought his wife. That's good and bad.

[B]

It is. So while the job would be really hard, it would be really treacherous. The conditions weren't exactly great. They were like, maybe we can make it romantic. Right? Like the two of us out on the island.

[A]

Dinner.

[B]

Just. Yeah, just the two of us. Just the two of us. But reality quickly unraveled into a very harsh existence marked by loneliness and relentless storms. Only four months into their stay, a ferocious December nor', Easter, not unlike the one that resulted in the crash in cannibalism, battered the tiny island of Boon Island. Gale force winds, monstrous waves. The entire island is pummeled with wave after wave. But Lucas, the lighthouse keeper, he has a job to do. Right. He had not been feeling well leading up to this storm, but he was like, I have to put this sickness. Like, I might not be feeling well, but that doesn't matter. I have a job. I'm the only one who can do it. I have to keep my responsibilities as a lighthouse keeper to go keep the flame alight.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

At the top. And, you know, save the ships right at sea. So knowing that this lighthouse was a lifeline to the mariners trapped at sea during this storm, Lucas tied a sturdy rope secured around his waist to keep him safe while he went out of the lighthouse keeper's house and to the actual structure of the lighthouse. He assured his wife, Catherine, that he would be all right. And then he stepped out into the howling darkness.

[A]

Because if you look at the photos, it's not that far from the actual lighthouse. Like the lighthouse keeper's house.

[B]

No, it's like next door.

[A]

Yeah, but it's still a distance where in, like, that storm.

[B]

Right.

[A]

It would be scary.

[B]

Right. Like, think about, like, if you have a long driveway and you have to get to something at the end of your driveway, but you're in a hurricane.

[A]

Exactly. On an island.

[B]

On an island. So Catherine watches out the window the whole time. She's waiting for her husband to get to the safety of the lighthouse. The rope is tied inside, and she's watching. The wind bites mercilessly at his face, the icy sprays soaking through his clothes. But he's so close to the tower, and Catherine's watching. And just as Lucas struggles to unsecure the bolt on the lighthouse door, a rogue wave surges violently over the rocks, wrenching him from his feet. It just plucked him out of the air and plunges him into the freezing abyss. But he has the rope tied to him, Right. So his body's not gone, but he has just been killed.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

So Catherine watches in helpless horror from her window as her beloved husband vanishes beneath the crashing surf. A surge of strength overtakes her, and she manages to grab the rope with her trembling hands. And she pulls her husband all the way in from the icy ocean that it's constantly pulling him back. Lucas was dead, but Catherine dragged him across the ice glazed rocks into the base of the lighthouse tower.

[A]

So she actually she goes all the way across.

[B]

Got him. Dragged him all the way to the lighthouse where he was supposed to be, and then lays him gently at the foot of the stairs. Grief is consuming her, and she sits beside her husband's frozen corpse.

[A]

She's also probably soaking wet now too.

[B]

Absolutely. She's holding his icy hands. She's whispering words of sorrow and comfort into the emptiness. Yet even amidst her grief, she knows that others depend on the beacon of the lighthouse. And so for five agonizing days and sleepless nights, as the storm persisted, continued to pummel Boon Island, Catherine tended to the towering lighthouse alone with her deceased.

[A]

Husband at the foot of the stairs. So every time she goes up. Yep, every time she goes down.

[B]

She would climb the bitterly cold 168 steps to keep the light burning at the top. Her only solace was the presence of her husband's body below, which she continued to tenderly embrace each night. On the sixth night, Catherine could no longer summon the strength to keep the flame alight. And as the beacon flickered out, the townspeople of York, Maine noticed and braved a little bit calmer seas at dawn, rushing to investigate to see if the lighthouse keeper and his wife were okay.

[A]

I was gonna ask, like, how do you, at that point, like, how do you call for help? Because I feel like when we've talked about lighthouses in the past, it's like at month four they send someone to bring supplies, but like, otherwise you have no communication or contact with the other world.

[B]

So like, thank goodness there's a woman on TikTok who is a like fire watcher or something, like where she's up in a fire tower for many, many months completely alone, watching for fires. And then we'll like radio in every so often. Like she's got like certain shifts or whatever.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But it is one of the, like watching her tiktoks and seeing just how alone and isolated you are and her telling some horror stories that she had of like, some friends who encountered some like, creepy people in the middle of the woods and stuff. I was like, oh my God. Started doing some extra research. And it is really scary that like certain people in these certain professions where they're really isolated, alone, only checked in on every once in a while, do go missing, do end up murdered. And people don't realize for a long time.

[A]

Right. Because how, how would you? Especially if they're in a remote area and you don't. You can't.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, if you're a radio is the only form of communication, but you only use the Radio if there's an emergency, but the emergency has already happened, so you're dead, and you can't use the radio.

[B]

You can't do anything. So the people of York, Maine, they go out to Boone island, and that is where they found Catherine, who was now basically motionless. She was near lifeless herself, completely frozen, clasping her husband's stiffened hand, Driven mad by grief and isolation. Rescuers carried Catherine and Lucas's bodies to the mainland, but the damage was irreversible, and Catherine succumbed shortly thereafter, her spirit broken from the unimaginable and overwhelming loss of her husband and what she had just been through. So she died of heartbreak, basically, and probably the elements. Yeah. Yeah. Cheese. In the years following, whispers of a ghostly apparition began to circulate among the lighthouse keepers and fishermen. Mariners claimed to catch glimpses of a mournful young woman cloaked in a spectral white gown. So a lady in white wandering silently over the windswept rocks at twilight. We can presume that this is Catherine. Others spoke of hearing eerie moans, piercing cries, just sounds cutting through the darkness.

[A]

Her residual sadness and like, mourning of her husband.

[B]

Her screams, which were probably the storm, was so loud. I'm sure she was screaming and crying so loud, but it was like she could probably barely hear herself. Oh, I have chills. That's so sad. Over the years, keepers would continue to report unsettling encounters. One person heard some phantom knocks on the lighthouse door and opened it, only to find this, like, ethereal silhouette of a woman standing there or, like, drifting towards the tower. Pets who are brought to the island have refused to enter the tower. They seem really anxious, seem to be spotting unseen figures. And then the coast guard keeper, Bob Roberts, who worked there in the 70s, he was interviewed about, like, some of his experiences, and they said that Roberts and a fellow crewman, Bob Edwards, were off fishing around the island, and they drifted a little too far from the island to make it back in time to turn the light on before dark. So there was not another person on this island. It's not like you can easily get to this island, and there's no reason to go to this island, and you.

[A]

Had to manually put it on.

[B]

Yeah, but somehow this light was glowing brightly by the time the keepers returned.

[A]

Catherine.

[B]

On other occasions, Bob Roberts and others heard the door mysteriously opening and closing. And when they would go to turn the fog signal on, they would feel as if someone was watching them.

[A]

Damn.

[B]

Dave Wells, who is also a former Coast Guard keeper, once described how the station's Labrador retriever chased something from One end of the island to the other end back. And he later confessed, quote, we figured the island must be haunted, but nothing bothered us. Kind of nice to have more people.

[A]

Or, I mean, given, like, how many people have died there and, like, the cannibalism and everything. It does seem like Catherine's spirit is perhaps the most prominent. And she has such a beautiful essence.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, there's not. It doesn't seem dark.

[B]

Right. It does make me so sad for her that what she experienced, because it was only four months out of her life, but it was so treacherous and so traumatizing and obviously, like, took her life, that she still. Her spirit still remains on this completely isolated, barren.

[A]

Her husband is there too.

[B]

I hope so. No one has said that they've seen.

[A]

Him, but maybe he's just a quiet guy.

[B]

Maybe he is. Maybe he stays inside.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So to this day, locals and mariners alike firmly believe that the spirit of Catherine Bright remains on Boon Island Lighthouse. Eternally grieving, guarding the rocky shores, forever vigilant and forever sorrowful. Very, very sad.

[A]

So sad.

[B]

In the decades spanning the late 20th and early 21st centuries, ownership of Boon Island Lighthouse has shifted hands almost as frequently as its keepers once did. In 1978, another ferocious storm pummeled Boon island and hurled, like, literally took out of the ocean, hurled massive boulders across the island, and nearly claimed the lives of the two final keepers that would stay there. They narrowly escaped as powerful waves battered the island. It severely damaged fuel tanks, the helicopter landing pad, the generator building, the boat house, the boat launch. And this is a storm that basically sealed the fate of Boone island in the lighthouse, and it prompted authorities to automate the station.

[A]

I was gonna say.

[B]

So now there's no need for it.

[A]

They definitely need a lighthouse there always, clearly. But, yeah, there should be no reason for humans.

[B]

No humans should be there. Years later, in 2012, under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation act of 2000, the lighthouse was offered to, quote, eligible federal, state and local agencies, nonprofit corporations, educational agencies, and community development organizations who might want to preserve its historical significance or have the funds to do so. Yet no bids came forward.

[A]

None.

[B]

Nope.

[A]

Is it still available?

[B]

No. There was a online auction that I think was just open to anyone, and a real estate developer bought it for $78,000, apparently.

[A]

Rats.

[B]

We could have bought it. I know. We actually could have bought that, like, right now. Bank of America, give us a loan.

[A]

Clear our bank account, take all of our money back it all.

[B]

The lighthouse, now abandoned yet still operating, I think, continues on its automated rhythm. It sends out Periodic flashes into the vast darkness continues to warn people of its existence, prevent any shipwrecks, hopefully, and also guide people to shore when lost at sea. Wow. I wrote, the ocean can't save you. And this island won't either.

[A]

Currently, if anything, this island will kill you.

[B]

Will kill you. Currently, there are no tours or guided visits available at Boon Island Lighthouse, and the only feasible way to reach it is by air or by sea. But perhaps the wisest choice is to appreciate its hunting beauty from a very safe distance of the mainland shore or.

[A]

Just by listening to our podcast.

[B]

Yeah, you don't have to go at all.

[A]

Damn, that is really sad. And it's very reminiscent of the Lighthouse, the movie, which mind fuck.

[B]

I still haven't watched it. I need to.

[A]

I watched it with Nick way back when, and we got in such a big fight afterwards.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

And we both were like, wait, we need to take a minute.

[B]

Oh, for the movie? Did you get, like, different messages from it?

[A]

No, no. It was literally like the movie left us so uneasy that, like, we both were on edge and just, like, got in a fight unrelated to the movie, and we both were like, this is for sure because of how the movie left us feeling. But, yeah, we were both like, we're not even, like, fighting about anything real. And we had to take time to decompress because it's such a. I mean.

[B]

Aren'T there no words spoken? It's just like a silent. Or are there just a few?

[A]

There are, and it's very hard to understand what they're saying. Yeah.

[B]

Okay. This is also to give some perspective as to where Boon island is. I know I mentioned, like, the Isle of Shoals at the beginning and being able to see it from the Isle of Shoals, but you covered the Isle of Shoals years ago on an episode, and that cluster of islands that spans across the border of, like, Maine and New Hampshire is very haunted. And there are really weird vibes out there.

[A]

Well, there's. I've also never been up there. I mean, I say that, but maybe I have. And then my mom will show me a photo, and I'll be like, oh.

[B]

Stayed on Star Island.

[A]

But, like, there's so many. It's like, so many islands that. No, duh.

[B]

They're very tiny, though.

[A]

No duh. There's been so many shipwrecks, though, because if you're coming that area, especially, like, back when, you know, colonizers were coming to the Americas, you don't know what you're gonna.

[B]

No.

[A]

See, and you just crash and the.

[B]

Elevation of those islands, like, they're not raised very high out of. Right out of the ground. So, like, if you're in a very wavy situation where it's, like, really rough seas or a storm or something, I think a lot of the waves are gonna be basically taller than many of those islands. So, yeah, it's kind of too late once you spot them.

[A]

Yikes.

[B]

Anyway, that is Boon Island. That was the Cannibals.

[A]

Very sad, but also very interesting.

[B]

And the haunting is positive. It's like the only positive thing out of the whole story is that there's someone guarding the lighthouse and trying to keep people safe at sea.

[A]

I do wonder what Catherine is up to now, and I hope she's not alone, because it did seem like she enjoyed the company of other lighthouse keepers and their pets.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I do hope her husband is there with her or that they've both moved on.

[B]

I hope that she can also pop over to Star island because there's also a lady in white over there, and there's just more spirits, and I feel.

[A]

Like, lady in white gathering.

[B]

Right. Like, they can all hang out together. There's an art building on, I think, Star Island.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Or Appledore, one of those.

[A]

So I had this idea, which I did not follow through with at all, but I really. Because the summer was busy, and I ended up going to LA for two weeks. But I really, really want to and want to do, like, a New England lighthouse tour and, like, stop at all the different. Because there's so many lighthouses.

[B]

And we stopped at Nubble Lighthouse on our way between, which is in Agunquit.

[A]

Which is a perfect segue into my story.

[B]

Here we go.

[A]

Actually, do you know which state has the most lighthouses?

[B]

Well, now it feels like it should be Maine, because there's, like, a million clusters of tiny little islands, but it's not. Is it Washington?

[A]

It's Wisconsin.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Because it has, like, all the lakes.

[B]

Giant lakes.

[A]

Yeah. Isn't that wild?

[B]

That is wild. But also, those lakes are really dangerous.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's basically an ocean.

[A]

But I remember looking it up and being like, huh. Not what I expect. Oh, wait, it's not. Wait, hold on. It's Michigan. Okay.

[B]

Same difference. Right there.

[A]

124 lighthouses.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm actually shocked it's not made.

[A]

I think it's because Michigan is kind of like a peninsula.

[B]

There's so much land. It's like, you have to know that you're gonna potentially hit something or such a glove. Yeah. Anyway, it's an Oven mitt.

[A]

It is an oven mitt.

[B]

I think I might be a top customer at this company that we're about to talk about because I've been ordering from them for years and it is Cozy Earth. I am obsessed with Cozy Earth.

Since your story was so I didn't know that it was gonna be so cannibalistic and scary and sad. I actually have a very uplifting, amazing story.

[B]

Oh, great.

[A]

This is from our listener, Madison, and it is. I'm not gonna tell you what it's called. Hello. First, I want to say I love your podcast and I've been listening for almost two years now. This was sent back in 2020. You guys are awesome and make my work commute so much better. Side note, I'm from Massachusetts. What up, Corinne? And my boyfriend and now Sabrina. And my boyfriend is from Jersey. Oh, what up, Sabrina? So you guys helped me through all of these long drives. My story isn't really scary, but it is the craziest thing that's ever happened to me, so I wanted to share with you guys. When I was seven years old, I went on a beach trip with some family members to a Gunquit beach in Maine. My parents weren't there, but I went with my Aunt Sharon and my cousin Drew, along with other family members that I can't specifically remember. Either way, at one point during the day, my aunt and I decided to go swimming. So I'm just going to give some context and landscape of the beach. There's a river that runs almost parallel to the ocean. The land in between the ocean and the river is relatively small, which allows for two beach areas, one by the ocean, one by the river. That being said, you can swim in either areas, but if you're by the river, you can't really see the beach. And if you're by the beach, you can't really see the river, which is important. My aunt and I decided to swim on the riverside. However, the rest of my family was sitting on the ocean side of the beach so they couldn't see us swimming. My aunt and I are swimming for a while, having a great time, and we decided to get out of the water. But no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't swim to shore. In other words, we had drifted into the mouth of the river and got caught in a nasty riptide. Now, I want to note that despite being seven, I was a strong swimmer for my age and I could handle swimming for long periods of time. My aunt was also a strong swimmer, but we realized we were Seriously stuck and we needed help. My aunt looked at me calmly and explained. We need to start yelling for help. So we start doing that. I honestly don't know how long we were out there, but it felt like hours.

[B]

That's so scary.

[A]

We kept screaming, but nobody could hear us. Remember, my family was on the other side of the beach, so they had no idea that we were stuck in the water. Eventually, the riptide starts pulling us under. Thankfully, my aunt was so good at keeping me calm that I wasn't scared. I was just tired. This part starts to get a little foggy, but I do remember I was swallowing a ton of water to the point where my aunt had to hoist me up and out of the water and over her head, essentially drowning herself in order to keep me above the water.

[B]

Oh my God.

[A]

And this is where it gets crazy and it gets also very vivid. I swear on my life and everything in it that this happened out of nowhere. We hear someone yell to us on shore. I remember looking on the beach and seeing a young woman and a little girl standing on the edge of the water. My vision started getting tunneled where everything around these two people started getting blurred. All I could see, hear and focus on were these two people. A young woman and a little girl. Not to mention this woman and the little girl were beautiful, stunning, glowing. The woman was wearing a black one piece bathing suit. She was tall, thin and tan, with long flowing blonde hair. This little girl was also tan and blond, wearing pigtails in her hair. It sounds crazy, but they literally had a glow to them. Almost like they were above human beings. Their looks are interesting to note because my aunt was also blonde, tall, thin and tan. Extremely beautiful, especially when she was young and in her 20s. I was also tan and blonde, wearing my hair in pigtails at the time.

[B]

Oh my God.

[A]

It was like these two people were angelic versions of my aunt and I.

[B]

Which makes me so. I know obviously like they survive, like we're getting the email, but yeah, that makes me so scared. It's like the version of like another version of their soul as they're ready to like, collect them from living that life.

[A]

When we saw them, the woman was holding a tube that was connected to a rope that was about 10ft long, if that. She yelled out to us to grab the tube, threw it to us perfectly. It landed directly in front of us. We grabbed onto the tube and they pulled us onto shore. My aunt and I obviously had to gather our bearings for a second since we literally almost drowned. But as we turned to thank the woman and the girl for saving us. They were gone. Literally nowhere to be found.

[B]

Chills.

[A]

We were absolutely. Which is so.

[B]

Like, you wouldn't do that if you saved someone. You'd be like, are you. You okay? Are you okay? Who can I bring to you, too?

[A]

Like, you don't just disappear.

[B]

No.

[A]

We were absolutely stunned because there was no way these two could have vanished in such a short amount of time. I mean, yeah, my aunt and I took a minute to catch our breath, but it couldn't have been longer than 30 seconds. There was also no way. This woman and child, who were only in their bathing suits, went back to their spot on the beach, packed up their stuff, walked to the parking lot, and left within a matter of 30 seconds. My aunt insisted that we try to find them and thank them. So we walked up and down the beach looking for them. We asked multiple people if they saw them, but no one knew who we were talking about, and we never found them. Thinking back on this, there are so many details that logically don't make sense. First of all, we were yelling for help for so long. Nobody heard us. How were we able to so clearly hear and spot these two people? And how did they spot us? Also, if the rope that was connected to the tube was only 10ft long, how was it able to reach us so perfectly and easily? It also makes no sense to me now that no one on the beach knew, recognized, or saw this woman or girl, especially because they were so strikingly beautiful. That being said, I believe that this woman and little girl were angels who saved my aunt and I that day. I don't know if they were maybe our guardian angels, but it is really interesting that it resembled me and my aunt, except for they were way more beautiful because they were like angels. And the circumstances around how they saved us was pretty unrealistic. Like, who throws a tube perfectly to land in front of people at the beach where there's winds and waves? Either way, I'm obviously so grateful for this experience, because who knows what would have happened had they not saved us. Thank you for being so spooky. Keep up the good work, Madison.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Also, was the tube there when they were saved?

[B]

Yeah, that's what I was just curious about. But maybe because she said that the rope is only 10ft long, so they probably saw it, which is also weird. Like, it perfectly extends and that the people on shore have, like, a fingertip worth of rope to grab and pull.

[A]

And also the woman and the child pulled them in. Like they just left Their tube behind, and they just happened to have a rope and a tube, like, 100%. This is. This is them in, like, another life or in the version of this reality where they did die and they came to save them. What color bathing suit was your aunt wearing? Was she wearing a black bathing suit? I'm curious.

[B]

Oh, like, if she matched. Perfectly matched.

[A]

Because I know she said it looked like a younger version of her aunt, but, like, even the little girl was wearing pigtails.

[B]

Yeah. I feel like this is hitting me in a different way just because it is so close and I've been.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There. And I'm like, holy shit. Wow. What a beautiful way to survive that.

[A]

And also, like, I imagine them getting to shore, catching their breath. Like, wouldn't people around there be like, oh, my God, are you okay?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because if you see two people, like, coughing and, like, catching their breath, like, they're probably not standing. They're like.

[B]

Right. She said she was like, a lot of. Yeah.

[A]

And there's just, like, so many aspects of this where it's like, I guarantee someone witnessed this, and what did they see?

[B]

I know. I'm tempted to go. I'll Google it privately later because I don't want to depress everyone, but I do want to see if there have been some deaths in the river.

[A]

Oh. Because yeah. Maybe there are people similar.

[B]

Yeah. Either way, especially if they're glowing so much, it's like, you know, just, like, they do feel like the spirit could be.

[A]

Because there's also, like, in a. To try to, like, rationalize, are these real people? Like, in the moment of, oh, my gosh, someone finally sees this. I understand. And you're also, like, swallowing water and drowning. I understand, like, the tunnel vision thing of them being this, like, glowy highlight. Everything else is blurred.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because it feels like a saving grace.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I fully believe.

[B]

Right.

[A]

They were angels or ghosts or something. Some. Some divine intervention.

[B]

Well, because you wouldn't fully. Like, I feel like if I watch people catching their breath, like, maybe I'd give them privacy for a few moments to, like, catch their breath. But then you check on them. Right. There's immediately. Doesn't add up.

[A]

Yeah. That is beautiful. And I'm so glad you guys are okay.

[B]

Yeah. And I'm glad that you read that story after Bhunai was.

[A]

Well, if you've been to Boon island, if you've visited any of the islands in that area that have a weird, spooky vibe, please email us. If you've been saved by ghost, please email us. We do like those stories.

[B]

We do. We love those.

Yeah. There is one that we read a couple years ago where, like this, like, I can't remember the specifics, but this woman was on, like, a camping trip and it was like the universe, like, kept telling her to do things and she was like, on a boat and she was going to turn around and then, like, something told her to actually go right. And she ended up finding people who would have otherwise died because they had been stranded.

It's like incredible people's part to, like, not even just being saved by a ghost, but like, sometimes when like, your own or you think it's your own intuition or like something. Yeah. Puts you in the spot that you need to be to help others or makes you say something or give a message to someone who needs it.

[A]

It's the best part about the paranormal.

[B]

It is.

[A]

We don't understand it, but we're so glad to be talking about it and a part of it and then come and being part of our lives.

[B]

Thanks, ghost.

[A]

Thanks, ghost. You gave us a job.
