Just like that case of the “ man from Taured.” That whole thing was later explained as a conman passing through Japan on a fake passport. Funny how these things happen…
1) Scottish coastguard? No, the ship Archtor that noted the absent of light from the lighthouse contacted the Northern Lighthouse Board. 2) The man who investigated the missing lighthouse keepers was not a "detective". He was a superintendent of the head of the Northern Lighthouse Board, Robert Muirhead 3) The Storm Theory: "It doesn't make sense the men would leave the lighthouse and go risk their lives to the edge of the cliff in the middle of a storm..." Actually it makes perfect sense if you knew that one of the men was fined 4 shillings the previous year for damaged equipment because he failed to secure them during a storm and 4 shillings at the time was a very large sum for someone with a family to support.
Man this channel is a hidden gem! I have known these mysteries for a long time but none of the channel out there trying to crack the case like you. This is the only time that I appreciate the RUclips algorithm for making your channel appear on my screen. Keep up the great work! Absolutely love your channel!
Excellent job! Far too many of these “mysteries” pop up on countdown channels, only to later be debunked when the TRUE facts are finally uncovered by a studious researcher, such as yourself. You’ve earned my subscription!
The quality of your content is so good that I just know that your channel is going to blow up in subscribers and fans. Your style and format is just so well done. You're Very talented, keep it up man, it's going to catch momentum in no time I almost could guarantee it.
Thank you so much! I'm always half-questioning whether how good/valuable my content really is and at times of doubt, comments like this are incredibly helpful and uplifting. You've made my day!
It's still entirely possible one of them had a mental breakdown, even without evidence. People have mental breakdowns ALL THE TIME. But you're right that it makes perfect sense for them to have been at the landing during the storm, trying to secure their livelihood.
Yeah, that's true that it could have happened without an evidence, but then that would be a pretty radical explanation without anything to back it up, so it's not very valid..
@@DisInfluence I think the fact that we can never know with 100% certainty is what keeps the incident so darkly fascinating. We can arrive at what's most plausible and likely, as you did here, but that's where the trail will always end.
I don't buy it. This may explain the disappearance of maybe one person but to 3 is too much of a stretch. Why would three people need to be out there to secure a toolbox?
Well said. Plus the gate to the lighthouse was shut when it was found. Proponents of this theory say that the last man to remain in the lighthouse ran out in a hurry to help his coworkers, in such a hurry he left his waterproof coat…but took the time to shut close a huge iron bar gate.
Unlikely? Maybe. But I wouldn't say that's a stretch. The sudden disappearance of three lighthouse keepes is in itself a very unlikely event. So any explanation of this incident necessarily has to include an unlikely event, otherwise it would have been explained long ago.
@@Manticore00 Are you sure of that? Don't get me wrong, it seems totally plausible, but do you have a reference? And if true, are sure that lighthouse keepers strictly followed this policy? What if only two lighthouse keepers left the lighthouse, but never went back? What would the third one do? Stay in the lighthouse? Or join the other ones, to see what takes them so long?
Nah you didn’t solve it. One guy getting fined for losing equipment is literally the only evidence to support this theory, and considering one of the lighthouse keepers was known to be a violent drunk, the conclusion that he killed everyone then himself holds just as much credence. Except some of us have the decency to call it a possibility or theory, not claim that we solved a century old mystery in a 6 minute video based on one piece of evidence.
The fact that a 20 cwt rock washed rolled back down towards the sea by the backwash of a wave, show just how much water must have passed over it in order for that to happen in retreat. Combine that with bent iron railings, turf ripped from the clifftop, the rail tracks ripped away and the devastated equipment - over a hundred feet above sea level and it's fairly obvious that they were all washed away.
You have it all figured out. So then tell me, why did the third guy go out without his weather gear on? Why were their bodies never found? Out of 3 you would think someone would have surfaced, and if not bodies, what about clothing, a hat, but nothing ever washed up anywhere. Explain that to me.
@@angelwalker979 As you clearly know nothing about the sea, Trinity House or maelstroms, I can't be bothered to explain anything to you. Do everyone a favour and chew on a high voltage cable, I hear it tastes like liquorice.
exactly, i got interested in this story, it all seems spooky and all but it really is not a mystery, people are just taken away it being lighthouse and all, they were swept away no mystery

@kaineshigaraki5253 Adding two extra A's to emphasise the word is a grammatical issue for you? and sufficient enough to make a comment? Do me a favour, talk nonsense to somebody else because I'm not that guy.
@@KingBritish You did not use any commas. No period was used either. Moreover, your response is talking about spelling. I never mentioned spelling. It’s funny that you still struggle to see it. “This video ended way too abruptly.” “Ended way too abruptly, this video.” “Ended way too abruptly. This video did.” Another option could’ve been used as well.
I have seen several "explanations" of the disappearance and the logbook was always uncritically asumed to be genuine, eventhough the weather reported in it did not match with any other record. Now I'm doubting my own critical thinking, sure other sources took those logbooks as genuine evidence without tinking, but why did I do the same? Probably because it makes the story more interesting. Thanks for dispelling and explaining mysteries, instead of dragging them out for clicks.
Not trying to discredit this theory, as it is very plausible, but why would all three men leave to go collect the lost belongings? They were experienced lighthouse keepers who understood the dangers and severities of storms. Even if it had settled, you’d think at least one of them would stay behind just in case. Not all three men would venture out right after a storm to grab some belongings. And if they did, why didn’t one of them bring their coat?
The logbook did not have any of that in it just wind speed dates and time it’s not a personal diary it’s to collect data not personal thoughts. This was disproven long ago.
No one - it turns out that this entry was fictional, nothing like this was ever found in the journal. It was added later, in the 1920s, and became part of the classic retelling of the story.
@Disinfluence The logbook record entries about “the odd behavior of one of the men” and the ‘last’ entry about “the storm is over” are fictional and were later added to the story.. I’m curious though, was there even a logbook at all? Or any factual records of the actual logbook entries? Because all of the logbook entries you present in this video turn out to fictional ones and you don’t actually circle back and present a factual version of the real logbook? Great video though! It’s crazy a 120+ year old “baffling mystery” found all over the internet turns out in reality to have been solved less than a month after it occurred only no one before you had bothered to simply reference the original investigator’s report!
I think the storm theory combined with a rogue wave would account for them and the damage to railings and such. A rogue wave could have suddenly swept them away.
Could you please someday cover the Hinterkaifeck farmhouse murders mystery. It's honestly such a puzzling real world documented case. It has very real world answers but it really is baffling to try and solve and not many people have covered the murders case event in vivid detail and quality like I could imagine your content could do. You could even tangent off of this event and do another video based off of crazy events all related to attic's and crazy events or crimes connected to attic's. It's a cool topic with actually some really facinating case's involved around it.
If they were all there at 9am after the storm, they still could have been swept off the rocks repairing the dock. Good job young man. Cheers Ausgranny 🤶🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍👍👍
Wasnt there something about a massive rock being moved? Mayb that was part of a crazy logbook entry version? 👍love your work👍bit of a buzzkill without the aliens tho 😉
Yeah, that's true - the massive rock that was moved was at the western landing as well and was shown to be another evidence of what looked like a massive wave

Thank you for covering this so well. Too often the fictional logbooks are held up as proof for something otherworldly happening.

What’s the music in the beginning?
Wait if they die during the storm, who wrote in diary that storm had ended, god upon us?

Thank you so much!
From 6:29 to the end, the film of all those boys grinning while weaselling their way into the shot is so, so fun. 😁

By the way, luv your channel and hope you come back to continue making videos.
The lighthouse movie is loisely based on this incident i believe.
I really enjoyed this story.
When this lesson was explained I really wanted to know the thruth
Wait so the railings were never bent and the bolder was never moved ??
great stuff!
Hey! Great video :D

It is very likely.
vfo might not adhear to $torm..?
vfo or-b would be somewhat similar appearing above water..?
wenn missing 411? maybe we owe paul ides? that much..?
Money = death.
Shillings (plural). Not schilling.
I hate to be so pick over a good video, but us Brits know that it's Shilling not Schilling...
Hahaha, there's always something. Thanks for the reminder!
Hi
No you never bullshit
Yow thats my name bro…….
