S1 E15: The Flannan Island Mystery

It was the transatlantic steamer Archtor that first noticed something was wrong. On its voyage to the port of Leith from Philadelphia, the Archtor passed the lighthouse on the Flannan Isles on the night of the 15th of December 1900 and the crew saw that its light was off. After docking in Leith three days later, the news was passed on to the Northern Lighthouse Board that something was amiss on Flannan. The question of what happened to the lighthouse keepers would become one of Scotland’s most intriguing mysteries.Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always.
