@@yuppp7204 Maybe it was but the wind was enough to shut it. Haven't you ever had the door to your house shut? Hell, I even have my bedroom door slam shut if the window in the same room is open.

Idk man, have you ever been in a plane that crashed into the middle of the ocean, went inside a random lighthouse and have to fight off a bunch of genetically modified crackheads with blades and guns, whilst genetically modifying yourself so you can shoot lightning out of your hand and wack them with a wrench? Pretty scary if you ask me... I will NEVER trust a lighthouse again.
@@zackarywebster6900 ha ha ha!!!....I haven't done that lately bud no. I can imagine lighthouses are not so friendly a place if that's one's enduring memory 😆😉

Hehehe. I still gotta see it. Some didn't like it and it strayed me away but it seems most people loved it. It's said to be a classic. I remember when it came out. Hehe
Seeing one is nice from the perspective of a sailor sure, but spending months at a time alone on a small island in a lighthouse is terrifying in my opinion 😅
Huh, I never considered lighthouses to be scary at all. On the contrary, I'd imagine seeing a lighthouse would be rather comforting after a long voyage.
Their magnificent mustaches became sentient, strangled them in their sleep and threw their bodies into the ocean. Legends says, those mustaches roam free on the island ...to this day.
In Washington State (USA), there's a lighthouse called, the Cape Flattary Lighthouse. One of the keepers there got depressed from being so far from civilization and tried to commit suicide by jumping on the rocks. His co-keeper saved him, then the guy got mad that his life was saved and tried to beat up the co-keeper. Wonder if something similar happened here.
The mission in The Witcher 3 was good. Where shipwrecks kept occurring around one lighthouse and you have to investigate it. Really good quest that one. Quite spooky, too.
Actually you can come to the Delimama lighthouse...they have a couple of apartments for rent lol...it was restored....let me tell you the views are awesome......nothing creepy there.
Come work in rural straya, more or less the same. . . No net, no dickheads, not another soul for days upon days of driving and it's fairly easy to not see another human for a year. . . Good for the soul
I've heard this story before and thought long and hard about it. Aside from the ever popular alien abduction theories. I think that they perhaps encountered an extremely localized severe weather event known as a downburst (there is some extremely rare footage of one floating around the internet if your curious...to my knowledge it's the only one ever filmed, that's how rare they are.), but they are extremely violent and powerful with tornadic/hurricane force winds that blow straight down in a small area less than a mile wide and can accompany or follow severe storms, this could cause very large waves to form the size of tsunamis or rogue waves and being so localized the rest of world might not have noticed.
Stories like this remind me of how we are such social creatures that we even create ways to try to stick with one another and not be left alone for any reason whatsoever. Thanks for the videos, cheers!
It's very different when you're the one inside the light house. I can't really explain it other than ominous but hopeful. As if my beacon channeled the hopes and fears of seamen.
I really like the presentation style of this guy. Wish I'd had teachers with a similar demeanor at school. Incidentally, this same 'mystery' was featured on a UK TV series circa 1960 and I still remember watching avidly. The lighthouse and location however, were called Seven Hunters. It surely must have been referring to the very same incident.
John Ballen on his channel MrBallen covered this story too. He, however, didn't mention the possibility of a rogue wave. Nor did he talk about storm damage.
His channel is all about entertainment, not scientific or historical rigor. There's nothing wrong with that. It's a good channel if you want to hear some interesting stories.
@@hshhsggsg9873 yes. Everyone knows the rule that once a story is told 1 time it cannot be told again or repeated by anyone else. People these days right.
Always my pleasure. The combination of science, urban legend, and best information history, hits home for my thought process. Further, thoughty² has become part of my family and extended family here in America. My question is, who's Thoughty's extended researchers?

Actually you can go check it out, information is available somewhere. I remember reading it and being a bit disheartened about the amount of people he has working for/with him as it kind of gives the impression that it's all him

Thank you for this story and the accuracy of your account my dad was a lighthouse keeper and Ive known this story since childhood and a few others lighthouses are not creepy just incredibly peaceful
Interesting the wide range of ways people react to environmental stimuli. A lighthouse at night sounds like the most relaxing environment I could imagine (I find solace in storms as well)
This was very interesting as told by you. You really know how to cover and present a story. The picture of the lighthouse with a man asking, "Hello. You ok in there?" was very funny.

What I think is weird is having the feeling getting narrated by a british Malcolm in the Middle (Frankie Muniz), with a mustache :D! I had to write it down somewhere, because I was thinking about it all the time. Thoughty2 even got some of his personality when he talks, and he does the eyebrow thing. If you've ever seen the show, you know what I mean.
Thought 2 doesn't complain enough. Oddly Frankie Muniz suffered from some strange medical condition and cannot remember much about filming any of that series.
I notice, from the Old Photos, that all three of the missing Lighthouse Keepers have moustaches, and that ONE of those moustaches resembles Thoughty's moustache.
I live on West Lewis. I can see the light house light on calm nights from my garden. The waves that batter our coast can be absolutely biblical. I've also been the island. It's an eerie place. Hard to imagine how savage that storm must have been. Cool video. 👍
@@curzy6814 The N.C. coastline is riddled with lighthouses, as it is a giant ships graveyard. The lighthouse is one of the most common buildings on t he outer banks
Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!
Yeah, that's a job that pretty much doesn't exist anymore. Navigation is now handled by GPS, and the few lighthouses still operating have been automated, for the most part, human presence no longer required.😕
That's a pretty competent explanation for the most part, but the one thing I still find peculiar is how such a storm could've possibly gone unnoticed to everyone else.
I've definitely heard the story of this lighthouse and appreciate this logical approach to what happened. I am an American from the state of Michigan. If unfamiliar it's the state that looks like a mitten and is surrounded by inland seas we call the Great Lakes.Therefore we have tons of lighthouses. I've never thought of them as creepy or scary. I've grown up respecting them for the safety they provide. In this state a lighthouse tour is something considered fun and historical. I'm not sure how the rest of America feels about lighthouses, but in my state we aren't scared.
I’m not sure about most here in California but personally I’ve been to visit several lighthouses and never thought of them as being creepy. I’ve been to the Point Reyes lighthouse, Piedras Blancas, and one other in northern CA but don’t remember it as well because I was pretty young. I also visited the one at Yaquina Head in Oregon. They’re interesting historical sites to me.
What ever you do, do not watch the movie "The Lighthouse" I still don't know wtf I watched. At some point I just started busting out with laughter. I don't know how the hell it got awards. I must have missed something. I am not going to watch it for a second time unless my relative wants to see it lol. I want to see their reaction..
An old man is talking to his grandson. They are sitting on a bench overlooking the town. The old man says, "You see that lighthouse? I laid every brick that's there today, but they don't call me The Lighthouse Builder" "You see that dock?", he says to the girl," I put down every post holding it up right now, even in the harshest weather, but they don't call me the Dock Builder" "I built hundreds of houses, schools and bridges, and they still don't call me The Builder, or anything like that" "But you fù€k one goat...."
I have a little tweak to the rogue wave theory- I think a hurricane makes more sense and explains the damage to the iron gate and even train tracks ripped out of the ground. We see that type of damage often with hurricanes. It explains the wind and storm so severe that men who were experienced with bad weather were crying. 2 men may have gone out to fix the dock and the other heard/saw the hurricane and ran out to help and were caught in it. It explains how 1 area was destroyed and others nearby weren't as well. Love your channel (and accent)! PS. In the US there are a lot of pics and calendars of lighthouses. Kinda like calendars with scenery on them.
Yes, the impression I get from this and other accounts is that once in a while, a rogue wave comes along that sweeps over everything but the upper portion of the lighthouse. Need to set up a ring of web cams around the top that store what they record in the cloud for 30 days. The ones I keep running at home can see just as clearly at night as in the day, and come in outdoor as well as indoor models. I’ve got all the needed experience and hereby volunteer!
5:47 That road is clearly a Lambda symbol so I think the lighthouse secretly was a branch of the Black Mesa Research facility and some experiment was conducted which resulted in them being teleported to the same place as the Borealis.
"Aye, though we hunted high and low We hunted everywhere Of three men's fate we found no trace In any time in any place But a door ajar An untouched meal And an overtoppled chair"
Could a Rogue wave rip iron tracks out of concrete without shattering the concrete? Seems to me the concrete would have gone before the iron, so it should have all been gone.
The Tom Baker Dr Who episode with the green alien, freaked me out as a kid (Horror of Fang Rock - bless you internet). The light house made it even creepier.
I've had the pleasure of living in a lighthouse. It is a special kind of unsettling that is hard to explain. Forboding, like everything is wrong but still calm and welcoming. I have to wonder if there is not something intrinsically spirotual about them.
I believe it's a beacon of light as much as it is to warn ships of Shore during the dark it also attracts the spirits of missing sailors or the spirits of the love ones left waiting for there return

I agree there is something enchanting about them. Good setting for a long night in the company of a partner
Arran Lomas, you should watch "The Lighthouse" with Willem Dafoe & Robert Patinson. Crazy movie !!!
Good thing I'm extremely anti-social...I prefer being alone. Someone, hire me for lighthouse duty, please.
Yeah, that's a job that pretty much doesn't exist anymore. Navigation is now handled by GPS, and the few lighthouses still operating have been automated, for the most part, human presence no longer required.😕
Just move to Russia(tho I strongly advice against it). We still have lighthouse keepers here. I think a lot of other countries also do.
National forests have look-out towers used for spotting fires. I’ve had family members take up this primary summer job.
Maybe be a forest ranger
@@TrevorNet you should play the game Firewatch
This is a great story I’ve heard it told many times but I think this is one of the best tellings ever thank you 🙏
Lighthouses are awesome
That's a pretty competent explanation for the most part, but the one thing I still find peculiar is how such a storm could've possibly gone unnoticed to everyone else.
I've definitely heard the story of this lighthouse and appreciate this logical approach to what happened. I am an American from the state of Michigan. If unfamiliar it's the state that looks like a mitten and is surrounded by inland seas we call the Great Lakes.Therefore we have tons of lighthouses. I've never thought of them as creepy or scary. I've grown up respecting them for the safety they provide. In this state a lighthouse tour is something considered fun and historical. I'm not sure how the rest of America feels about lighthouses, but in my state we aren't scared.
I’m not sure about most here in California but personally I’ve been to visit several lighthouses and never thought of them as being creepy. I’ve been to the Point Reyes lighthouse, Piedras Blancas, and one other in northern CA but don’t remember it as well because I was pretty young. I also visited the one at Yaquina Head in Oregon. They’re interesting historical sites to me.
Same here in Massachusetts, so many lighthouse's
With so much rubbish on tv. Aaron should be given his own tv show. Really love his presenting.

(Hand on heart, that's the actual term for those frightening of lighthouses)
Hello fello redditor
@@Boss-mp8py aye how you doin bro
Thank you for what you do. Been getting me and I’m sure many of us through some tough times.
Cheers
What ever you do, do not watch the movie "The Lighthouse" I still don't know wtf I watched. At some point I just started busting out with laughter. I don't know how the hell it got awards. I must have missed something. I am not going to watch it for a second time unless my relative wants to see it lol. I want to see their reaction..
Press play on video - phone landscape mode- fire up some we…. The stove made popcorn and listen! 😂😂 for real
This reminds me of that syfy tv show Haven. The lighthouse was the symbol of that show. Anyone else watched it?
No
So articulate
I loved how in Fallout 4, it was a Glowing One at the top 💚
Nearly 4 million subscribers!!!
It was Cthulhu, of course!
Brilliant stuff
You could say the waves "swept them off their feet." Sori, just got done watching Jungle Cruise. It was chock full of dad jokes. 🤣♥️🇵🇭
Is it just me or is the ' hey thoughty2 here ' just so eargasmic
Oddly enough I associate lighthouses with the tragedy of a lost love, thanks to ‘To The Moon’
I associate them with good pizza, thanks to good pizza.
10:02 "Unprovoked Aggro" Love it!
And Shutter Island has both a lighthouse and an asylum!
Talk about an urban explorers dream island. Unless it’s occupied.
I wonder if the excellent movie, *The Lighthouse* was loosely based on this concept.
An old man is talking to his grandson.
They are sitting on a bench overlooking the town.
The old man says, "You see that lighthouse? I laid every brick that's there today, but they don't call me The Lighthouse Builder"
"You see that dock?", he says to the girl," I put down every post holding it up right now, even in the harshest weather, but they don't call me the Dock Builder"
"I built hundreds of houses, schools and bridges, and they still don't call me The Builder, or anything like that"
"But you fù€k one goat...."
I have a little tweak to the rogue wave theory- I think a hurricane makes more sense and explains the damage to the iron gate and even train tracks ripped out of the ground. We see that type of damage often with hurricanes. It explains the wind and storm so severe that men who were experienced with bad weather were crying. 2 men may have gone out to fix the dock and the other heard/saw the hurricane and ran out to help and were caught in it. It explains how 1 area was destroyed and others nearby weren't as well.
Love your channel (and accent)!
PS. In the US there are a lot of pics and calendars of lighthouses. Kinda like calendars with scenery on them.
This video has been renamed 3 times.
Yes, the impression I get from this and other accounts is that once in a while, a rogue wave comes along that sweeps over everything but the upper portion of the lighthouse. Need to set up a ring of web cams around the top that store what they record in the cloud for 30 days. The ones I keep running at home can see just as clearly at night as in the day, and come in outdoor as well as indoor models. I’ve got all the needed experience and hereby volunteer!
For some reason I had a strong false memory of you already covering this incident.
Mandela effect or deja vu?
@@jayson7627 - You know I have to go with Mandela effect. 😂😂🤘🏻
Thanks I’m sitting looking at a storm brewing on the beach right now. I feel much better
I remember Mr Ballen talking about this story
Arran, it's always good to see you in a video. This one is an interesting one and hit me in the sailor, man of the sea gut. Thanks Arran.
5:47 That road is clearly a Lambda symbol so I think the lighthouse secretly was a branch of the Black Mesa Research facility and some experiment was conducted which resulted in them being teleported to the same place as the Borealis.
Movies often have lighthouse keepers go insane while on duty. Must be the isolation and working the graveyard shift. I always thought it would be fun.
why did my father disappear in thin air?
og title (so the joke makes sense): why did everyone in this lighthouse disappear in thin air
I saw this on Buzzfeed, but nice seeing your version
There was an enchantment in the light. Went mad they did
Tall tales
"Aye, though we hunted high and low
We hunted everywhere
Of three men's fate we found no trace
In any time in any place
But a door ajar
An untouched meal
And an overtoppled chair"
I would love to spend a season on the island all by my lonesome.
Could a Rogue wave rip iron tracks out of concrete without shattering the concrete? Seems to me the concrete would have gone before the iron, so it should have all been gone.
I always found light houses very romantic tbh
The Tom Baker Dr Who episode with the green alien, freaked me out as a kid (Horror of Fang Rock - bless you internet). The light house made it even creepier.
You mean *the one from Uzumaki?* 😃
Always great ! 🙏 Thanks
I genuinely would love to spend my life on a lighthouse, don't care If I die
I've had the pleasure of living in a lighthouse. It is a special kind of unsettling that is hard to explain. Forboding, like everything is wrong but still calm and welcoming. I have to wonder if there is not something intrinsically spirotual about them.
I believe it's a beacon of light as much as it is to warn ships of Shore during the dark it also attracts the spirits of missing sailors or the spirits of the love ones left waiting for there return
You know I only come here for the suspenders! I have the same wardrobe by the way.😬
So that's the real event that that game was based on...
Which game?
@@nictheartist It's called "No one lives under the lighthouse" I believe
1:29 is the Montauk lighthouse in New York. I grew up 5 mins away and still live here today! ❤️
