LIGHTHOUSE LIES

3 men mysteriously disappear on Eileen Mor

On Thursday 12th of May 2019, Joseph Moore (the relief keeper) had discovered that the island was deserted.

The mystery began on Friday, the 10th of May. A few ships have reported that the lighthouse on Eileen Mor was not working; it is very dangerous as the passing-by ships could bump into the rocky island. However, nothing was done about it since Joseph Moore would visit them in a few days.

Unfortunately, there was a torrential rain and over-cast weather so Joseph's visit was delayed.

"I know something's wrong, they can't just disappear." Joseph reported exclusively to Donut Daily.

Then, a few days later, an anxious Joseph arrived to the island with expert investigators to search the scene thoroughly. They searched and searched the whole lighthouse but there was still no trace of the three lighthouse keepers (Thomas Marshall, James Ducat and Donald McArthur). They couldn't find any clues that were linked to their disappearences; however, Joseph and the investigators have found suspicious "behaviour" (as Moore described this peculiar event) in the kitchen. One of the chairs was overturned, there was a residue of a meal and the clock was not working; the beds looked like they weren't slept in for a long time. But perhaps the worst of all was that the lighthouse mechanism was in perfect working order - which means that the 3 lighthouse keepers were gone.

Moore called the police and the employer.

"Feels weird that I was the last person to shake hands with them," stated the uncomfortable employer who refused to share his name with the public. When Moore, the police, investigators and the employer searched even deeper, they only found one coat and one pair of boots.

Unfortunately, the investigation has ended and there is still no trace of the three lighthouse keepers. Summing up all of the clues, the investigators have concluded that Marshall and Ducat were outside in their coats and boots and wer swept away by a freakwave, when McArthur ran outside in his shortsleeves and socks to save them. Other people have confirmed that they saw the three lighthouse keepers' ghosts sailing away on a boat. What do you believe?
