The original structure of the Plymouth Bay Lighthouse in Massachusetts consisted of two towers fueled by oil lamps. It was once home to the first female lighthouse keeper in America, Hannah Thomas, who inherited the duties of the keeper from her husband after he was slain in combat during the American Revolution.

Some believe Hannah haunts her lighthouse to this day, even though the original structure no longer stands. The two towers were wiped out in a fire and rebuilt in 1803 as a single, taller tower. Apparently, Hannah doesn't mind the new digs, as she has been spotted by several people in the new structure.

A professional photographer and his wife claim to have encountered Hannah while they were staying at the house adjacent to the tower. Awakened in the middle of the night, the couple saw the upper half of a ghostly woman floating over their bed and looking at them. The spirit was wearing 18th century period clothing and had long, dark, flowing hair.
