First in recognizing the last edition mystery, the lighthouse at St. Augustine, Fla., was Kay Montgomery of Duluth. She was followed by Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of the St. Augustine Light Station, located at 100 Red Cox Drive in St. Augustine, Fla. It is currently an active lighthouse, with a museum at the north end of Anastasia Island that is operated and maintained by Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, Inc. The 165-foot tower was completed and first lit in 1874, and its first-order Fresnel lens had a range of 19-miles (21 nautical miles).” The photo came from Ann Royster of Shelby, N.C., through Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Also recognizing it were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Steve Toggerson, Lawrenceville; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Gloria James, Lawrenceville; and Lou Camerio of Lilburn, who asked: “This is the St. Augustine Lighthouse. Some think it is haunted. Do you know if this is true?”
Asking Google, this is what we learned: “St. Augustine, Fla., is the oldest city in the nation and home to what many feel is the most haunted lighthouse in America. During its 150 years of existence, many lives have been lost in or around the landmark’s grounds, leading some to believe that those who perished there never truly left. With a reputation for its haunting and the history to back it up, no haunted tour is complete without a visit to the St. Augustine Lighthouse.”
