Sarah Estep Attends Seance2430 viewsPicture of the Seance. Laura Berg is on the far left and on the top right is Sarah Estep. Sarah Estep has recorded for many hours in search of EVP. She is featured on the "Sightings, The Ghost Report" videotape and recorded "I was seeing the war" in the basement of the lighthouse. Sarah Estep has since retired from EVP research. Three members of the MD Committee for Psychical Research returned to Point Lookout in February, 1980 for a followup visit. After investigating the entire lighthouse, we had a seance. 35 mm cameras were placed in three corners of the room and as well as several candles. Ron & Nancy Stallings, their son and Laura Berg participated in the seance while Gerald Sword, Erik Berg and Kevin Mack photographed.

Basement Window3144 viewsDeborah writes: "On November 3rd, 1999, while on a donation job for Angel's Systems for Point Lookout lighthouse, myself and a co-worker Danny Stober finished the work assigned to us. I remembered stories about ghosts at the lighthouse from years ago. I had some film left on a roll of 110 I was keeping in my truck to get developed. I decided to use them on this job. When pictures were developed to my surprise there was a figure (ghost) in one of the pictures I had taken in a downstairs window of the lighthouse."
Many thanks to Deborah and Angels Systems, Inc. for sending this picture. The lighthouse was infested with fleas that had to be exterminated before the open house. Angel's...they not only get the bugs, they get the ghosts! Give them a call at: 1-800-662-8447.

Fog Bell 1910102 viewsThe caption on the back of the picture is: "Point Lookout Fog Bell Tower, picture taken 1910. On left is Catherine Marie Ardseer [sic] (b. 5-9-1891) and on right is Rose Jeanette Ardseer [sic] (b. 4-22-1890); relatives of lighthouse keeper."
Note: The Ardeeser's were relatives of lighthouse keeper William Yeatman, who died in 1908. Perhaps the date of the picture is incorrect OR the young women returned to the lighthouse for a visit during William Moody's second term.
