Lubec

I called Bubba this past Monday, and I asked if I could record the call, and he said sure.

He had a long and distinguished career in the Coast Guard, but the part we talked the most about was his time as the Coast Guard officer in charge at West Quaddy Head Light Station from 1978 to 1982.

He's from Lubeck, and he lives there today, so West Quaddy Head was his hometown lighthouse.

And I'm sure as many of you know, West Quaddy Head stands at the easternmost point in the United States.

Bubba mostly enjoyed his time at West Quaddy Head, as you'll hear, but he had some experiences that would have had me asking for a transfer as soon as possible.

I don't want to give too much away, but the story of what he experienced one night at West Quaddy might be the most compelling story of a haunting, or whatever you want to call it, at a lighthouse that I've ever heard.

So let's listen to my conversation with Bubba Eaton now.

I know you live in Lubeck now.

No.

If you haven't been to West Quoddy Point Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine, you must.

You are preaching to the choir.

Amen.
