The Flannenile Lighthouse Mystery

The Flannenile Lighthouse Mystery lives on as one of the great ghost stories of the last century and a quarter. The real reason these men were never seen again will likely never be known, as it persists to be one of the most perplexing disappearances in maritime history. It's deliciously evocative, but not because it is fundamentally mysterious. Indeed, an explanation, I would call it the explanation, appeared very soon after the three men disappeared. Unfortunately, as far as science was concerned, it was also impossible.
