Lighthouses and Their Tragedy
St. Augustine's northernmost lighthouse was built in the mid-1700s and served as a watchtower until the late 1800s. In 1873, three of the Petit children were killed when they climbed into a rail car that had been set up to transport supplies from the dock to the job site. The family packed up and moved north, far from the shores of St. Augustine,. But if the stories over the years are true, even though the family left the lighthouse behind, a part of them has stuck around. Since the 1870s, other lighthouse keepers have reported unusual activity inside the main house.
