      Yeah, people vanishing like they fell into some random black hole on their way somewhere creeps me out. Same with bodies that have been around, sometimes hidden in plain sight, and not discovered for years. Even worse when we don't even know how they died let alone who they are. Also, murders/disappearances that happen in the middle of nowhere and are never solved.
      A couple of examples: even though most have been identified and it's been partially solved (though it took over thirty years), The Bear Brook Murders still greatly disturb me. Same with the murders in and around Mineral, Washington.

      Would the logs not have been wet and caused the writing to be hard to read? Cause if it was a wave I don’t think the logs or much in the lighthouse would have been found cause if it can take bodies, it can take a book.

    As someone who lives on an island and is very familiar with the ocean, I’m betting one got swept into the sea and the other two tried to save him only to end up the same. People constantly underestimate the sea and think they’re safe when in reality the ocean is unpredictable and dangerous.

    What they don't mention in this video is that Ducat was fined roughly a week's wages earlier for not affixing the boxes to the moorings properly. My theory is that he didn't want to risk another fine so took Marshall down to do the repairs (the faults having been noted in the log) and left Marshall behind in the lighthouse (as per the rules). It was at that point that Marshall saw the huge wave coming and rushed out, not bothering to don his coat, to warn the other two. But he got there just as the wave struck and all 3 were washed out to sea. It was later noted that a large rock had been dislodged in that area by an "unknown force" and moved some 150 feet. Which gives you an idea of how powerful the wave was. So the tragedy happened primarily because the head keeper didn't want another fine - and he timed the visit to the cliff edge just as the freak wave came hurtling towards the island. (ps - I'm Scottish, from that area, and your impersonations were the worst I've ever heard! Worth watching just for that!).

    Fun fact: The log books were actually made up much later as a dramatic retelling of a story in a magazine, so the men still being at the lighthouse after the storm occurred couldn’t have happened.
    The most likely reason for their disappearance was because they were going after a toolbox that they accidentally left out, and would suffer a paycut as they were fined if anything was lost or damaged. And considering one of the lighthouse managers lost a piece of equipment in a storm before and was fined for it, it would make sense for them to go out so they wouldn’t get punished due to their meager salary of 42 shillings.

    I don't get why one of the theories isn't that there was an unknown boat that came in contact with the island, they asked the keepers for help, they rushed out (explaining missing coat) but it was actually a trap. The boat would have been a pirate boat looking to take 3, un-watched, strong, and good for manual labor men who they could sell in the labor market or just keep for themselves.

      But two of the light keepers are experienced and falling for pirates easily would be unreal, depends if they were really drunk or been hallucinating at that time. One of them should have given a sign like writing on the log or an emergency signal like the disc or smtng. Cause it came also to my mind that kind of theory but being an experienced lighthouse keeper can make you think all possible things that might happen in the lighthouse and later on think of ways to prevent it. They took the risk of the job which i guess should have made them at least prepared especially that they have family.

    i don't know, i'm a sailor myself. i have over 5 years of sailing experience and any knowledge i have on how the ocean behaves is half estimation and half fact. is it unlikely for an extremely large wave to come up suddenly and wash away three fully grown men after a huge storm? yes, but it feasibly COULD happen. if they were outside checking to see if the storm was gone or working outside, the storm could've had one final fit and got them. i definitely believe that they were briefly checking outside on the status of the storm, hence the coat being left behind, and they were blindsided. the fact that there had been prior 300 ft waves and they were at 110 ft- it's possible.

    • @Ali-mv3jc

      The western landing showed signs of damage and areas above 200ft also showed damage from either a wave or the storm.
      Near the west landing was a box in which gear was stored and one of the keepers had previously been fined for not securing properly in a previous storm.
      They were almost definitely blown off or swept away.

      It could’ve also been something as simple as all 3 of them falling from the iron railing. Iron is especially prone to rust from salt water, and maybe they all leaned on it to talk about whatever, and their combined weight made it give way. Falling 50 feet into water can potentially break bones, so 110 feet wouldn’t have made for a fun landing. Then, the current could’ve swept them further out to sea. Admittedly, it would be odd for all 3 of them to fall with it, but not impossible.

    @WonderlandPirate 4 года назад +877

    For post mortem: The reason that British Lighthouses had teams of three keepers was because of an incident called the Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy where one of the two keepers died in an accident. The other keeper was terrified of being accused of murder, since the two of them had been known to feud, and so tied the body in a makeshift coffin outside the lighthouse to try and preserve it, but the coffin broke and released an arm in such a way that in the wind it seemed to beckon to the remaining keeper, who had lost his mind by the time he was finally relieved. Could something similar have happened here, where two of the three keepers were accidentally killed, and the remaining one lost his mind out of the fear of being blamed?

    Ok so, I'm just gonna pitch in here and say that as someone who's lived and spent most of my life on Scottish islands and has worked with Ships and lighthouses frequently, waves that height and that powerful are not uncommon, I've personally seen lighthouses higher than the Flannan Isles light get hit by a wave. Waves of such a size often come with very little warning and are usually mixed in with more moderate waves.
    The idea of them being washed out to sea while working on the Jetty isn't too "out there" either, especially considering even in the Royal Navy most men couldn't swim in this time period and in more recent years people have been swept out to sea from far safer locations. The sea is dangerous and disappearances relating to it are not uncommon along the Scottish coasts.

If they were contemplating leaving the island together they would have at least wrote where they were going, maybe not exactly why, but that they were going 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. But it still is a sweet theory.

    I'm only two minutes in, so maybe it's already been covered in the episode, but *as a farmer*, it is more common for sheep (and goats, for that matter) to give birth to twins than single babies. We have a fairly small flock, but it's generally expected that we'll get at least one set of triplets every couple years.
    It's more likely that having sheep graze on the island benefited them because when you have a flock on the same pasture for a while, the nutrients in the grass decrease, and the parasites in it increase. You have to switch sheep to different pastures every few months to keep them on good grass and keep the parasites down.

    An interesting thing to look into would be if this area, or the ocean area around this island is prone to seaquakes.
    Especially since geographically it isn't that far off iceland, which is a volcanic region, maybe a sea quake occured that cause massive waves coupled with a storm. The men thought the storm had subsided, only to be surprised by a massive tsunami like wave. It would explain why they were outside despite there being stormy weather. Maybe they tried retrieving the swept away resources and they were surprised by that wave.

Had seaquake caused a 100ft wave at Flannen its going to hit the Hebrides as well and be obvious what happened.

    I'm Scottish and if like me you live in the Highlands, you know all those stories about sprites and faeries are all still widely believed today. The idea that the men may have offended a faerie or sprite which then turned them into the three birds sat atop the lighthouse would not be completely unreasonable... especially with the local farmers believing the islands had magical qualities anyway. The Scottish Highlands and Islands are filled with stories and places like that - it can be a very superstitious place, especially among older locals.

      @@oldankh the British Isles isn't the same as Great Britain. Britain includes Scotland in it, so they are right in saying Scotland is a part of Britain - even if you identify as Scottish. Same goes for Welsh and English. If you're referring to the UK, Northern Ireland would also be included.

    This is a fascinating story. What could possibly have happened to the three lighthouse keepers? I think the fact that one of them went out without his jacket could mean whatever happened was sudden. What makes the most sense is that they were somehow swept out to sea, but how? This is one of those mysteries I unfortunately don’t think we’ll ever have the answers for.

      It is fascinating. Especially when you take into account; A) that's the North Sea they are in, and waves get HUGE, over 100ft. is not unusual, B) the lamp they were using was floated on a LOT of mercury so it moved without friction, and part of the duties would be to keep that pool of mercury clear of debris and refill it as needed.
      Due to the amount of mercury vapors inhaled, many lighthouse keepers went mad...just like hat makers, and for the same reason, inhalation of poison gas. If you want to see what the North Sea can be like, check out a few videos from bigwavemaster. He is on a 110ft. rescue boat in the North Sea, and posts videos of storms, shipboard life and some of the drills and real rescues they do. That piece of water is known for its storms and waves. The fishing boat Andrea Gail, (Storm of the Century) was out there during a major hurricane and was lost with all hands. ✌😸

      I think science kinda figured it out by now. we know now about rogue waves, which are way bigger than an average wave, which in the North Sea is already bigger than average. plus, if it happened at night, they probably wouldn't have seen it until it was pretty close and too late to hunker down. it sounds insane to think a 300ft wave could sneak up on anyone, but the ocean is a terrifying place with immense power we are barely beginning to understand. back then, I bet that would've sounded ludicrous, but today, we have footage of such waves.
