This is our final day here in S. Bristol. The morning dawned cloudy, windy and cool, so we decided to head over to Pemaquid Lighthouse right away to beat the rain. We were there for a couple of hours, and it was just beginning to drizzle lightly when we left. Good timing.

I went up in the lighthouse tower were the light actually is. Great view and the light itself is very interesting. I found out that the light can be seen 14 miles out to sea. When looking at it while standing at its base, you can't imagine that it can be seen that far. The light flashes once every 6 seconds.

The Ghosts of Pemaquid

The tower itself isn't haunted, but "supposedly the cries of souls lost at sea can be heard near the lighthouse, and the shivering ghost of a red-haired lady wearing a shawl has been seen near the fireplace in the Fisherman's Museum.
