Story report and summary of...
Eilean Moore
Eilean Moore, a replacing light-house keeper, investigated the light-house after they got no response to their search for contact. As he neared the door, he saw that it was unlocked. Stepping carefully and cautiously inside, he also noticed that two of the three Moleskin jackets usually kept in the hall were missing. In the kitchen, he found a half eaten meal and a chair “knocked over.” The clock in the kitchen had stopped. The lighthouse keepers were nowhere to be seen. A further investigation revealed the disturbing final entries in the lighthouse log. The entry for December 12, noted that the island had been struck by severe winds, worse than anything Ducat had experienced in his 20 year experienced career. Even though the lighthouse was solid and sturdy enough to outlast any storm or weather, The article wrote that the Principal Keeper, James Ducat, was very quiet. The third keeper, William McArthur, was an experienced sailor and a famously tough tavern brawler. The log entry ended but nothing was mentioned that he had been crying.
What and where is Eilean mor?
Eilean mor is one of the flannel islands off the coast of Scotland. It has heaps of Jargard rocks, and cliffs. There is also a Light-house that once worked but one year after it was built it stopped. To this day it has never light up again, It is still the way it was when the three lighthouse keeper “vanished.”
What happened to the three lighthouse keepers is still an unknown mystery yet to be solved, this is what we think happened to them on that unfortunate day…
We think that One of the three lighthouse keepers had killed the other two lighthouse keepers, this is how we think he did this horrible execution…
The two other keepers had been getting suspicions of the haunted island and the ghosts and spirits that occupied it and got to a point where they wanted to kill themselves in order to escape this misery and punishment.
St Cormac’s Chapel
This little chapel stands close to a natural landing place at the north-east end of the island. It has had a chequered history.
The simple rectangular structure was built in the 13th century. It was extensively altered in the 14th century, when John MacDonald, 1st Lord of the Isles had the chancel upgraded. It was finally converted into a dwelling house in around the 1700’s, for use by a tenant called Macneil of Gill Choille, the island’s owner.
The effigy(sculpture) of a late-medieval cleric, richly attired in his vestments but now headless, is still preserved there.
