Lighthouse Mysteries of the North Atlantic by Robert Cahill
Have visited many of the lighthouses around our area in the northeast and there are so many more we've yet to visit.
Hope to find out more about the ones no longer functioning in our area and down the coast.
So much information about the lighthouses and how they operated in their days.
What I love about this book is all the things I've learned from even our local lighthouse. Especially excited to read of vikings who built some of them and also of the ones in Nova Scotia as we watch Oak Island and there's treasures there.
Loved hearing of PI light and how the hurricane killed the whole family but
the keeper himself.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

This is a book of supposedly true ghost stories. The author and his sidekick photographer "Brian the monk" visited most of the sites to explore the stories, which primarily take place in New England (though one story was from a trip the author took with friends to Nova Scotia). The book was quite short -- only 104 pages including photos, though the text was dense and rather small print. I wasn't terribly impressed by the photographic "evidence" provided in this book. A couple photos were creepy, but most could be easily explained by tricks of the light combined with the the power of suggestion. I could not even see, at all, what the author purported was to be seen in several of them. The author presented a lot of very subjective commentary about his "sense" that something paranormal was afoot. But there were some good stories here fairly well told -- at the very least, it was entertaining, and some of the witnesses he quoted had very interesting stories to tell. There was a fair amount of history included, too.… (mehr)

I read this book as part of my research on the history of New England for a book I am working on and I found the information to be interesting and helpful. I especially enjoyed the first part of the book as it went into discussing the Viking visits to New England. Many of the stories I found very fascinating and plausible. I did however find a few parts at the end of the book relating to the Indians encounters with the English did not match the facts that I have read in other books. At first I though that “This guy got it all wrong!” but after rethinking the book I have decide to do more research to fine out (if possible) what is truth and what is fiction then it comes to the Native Americans of New England. This book has made me want to know more and I think that is the sign of a good book!… (mehr)

Lately I have been reading a lot of books about New England, and I think the ones that I have been enjoying the most have been about the history and mysteries of New England’s past. Robert Cahill’s book was an interesting and thought provoking narrative about the, still unresolved, mysteries of New England’s past visitors. And I am not talking about aliens (that’s another book), I talking pre-Columbus explorers. I believe that New England (as well as many other parts of America, both North and South) has been visited and investigated by many different groups and at many different times. Cahill gives many different accounts and numerous artifacts that can no longer be ignored. The time is right for a truly scientific investigation of the New England sites and tales to see just which ones stand up to scrutiny. We need to act now before they are lost to time and urban development!… (mehr)
