Location: Boston, Massachusetts
When built: 1783
The haunting: The ghost of an old sailor has been spotted several times by keepers at this lighthouse, also known as the Boston Head Light. The vacinity gets unexplainable cold when the phantom is sighted. Footfalls of something unseen has been heard walking the stairs of the tower, and a cat has hissed at whatever invisible force was making a rocking chair move on its own.
Most notable is the ghost's apparent dislike of rock-and-roll music. When Coast Guard personnel would tune their radio to a rock station, the tuner would suddenly jump down the bandwidth to a classical music station.
