The Flannan Isles Lighthouse Keepers

Top 10 Mysterious Historical Disappearances

The Flannan Isles Lighthouse Keepers In December 1900, three lighthouse keepers—James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald McArthur—vanished from the remote Flannan Isles in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. When a relief crew arrived, they found the lighthouse abandoned, the doors bolted from the inside, and a badly damaged railing. The logbook’s last entry described stormy weather. No bodies were ever recovered. Theories range from being swept away by a massive wave to internal conflict or supernatural causes. The official inquiry concluded “from unknown causes,” cementing its status as one of the most chilling disappearances in lighthouse history.
