LOCATION
Why is New London Ledge Light said to be haunted?
Built in 1909 in an unusual Second Empire mansard style more fitting a mainland house than a lighthouse, New London Ledge Light sits on a stone pier at the mouth of the Thames River in Connecticut. Its best-known legend concerns a keeper remembered as "Ernie," said to have taken the job in the 1920s or 1930s only to discover his wife had left him for the captain of the Block Island ferry; devastated, he is said to have climbed to the roof and jumped to his death in the water below. Coast Guard crews who staffed the light before its 1987 automation reported doors slamming shut on windless days, fog signal equipment switching on and off by itself, and boats mysteriously untying from the pier β disturbances the crews blamed on "Ernie" long before the tale was later linked, with some skepticism among historians, to any single documented keeper.
