and its eponymous tiny, black
sheep greet more than 50,000

This seemingly ordinary Lake
Huron lighthouse just might to
appear on a ghost hunter's life
list. Visitors report witnessing the
presence of two ghosts haunting
the lighthouse. The stranger of
the two is the ghost of former
museum caretaker George
Parris, who moved in to run the
museum in the 1990s. Upon
his death, the light continued to

give this section of the Gulf
Stream its "graveyard of the
Atlantic" nickname. In 1999, the
entire lighthouse was moved to a
new concrete foundation further
back from the shoreline. The
move took 23 days, and of the
1.25 million bricks used to build
the Cape Hatteras lighthouse,
not a single one was lost.
