Is the lighthouse haunted? edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Rumour says the lighthouse is haunted by the ghost of Susannah McKee, who committed suicide on Lady Elliot Island. The lighthouse now is used by the staff of the LEI resort, and several of them insist they saw something particularly strange: https://debbie-johansson.com/2022/07/13/the-ghost-of-lady-elliot-island/

Is this worth mentioning? --Turan MUC (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

No. Rumours from self-published sources are not usually reliable. The "about" for the website indicates the person is a fiction writer ... "Debbie Johansson is an Australian writer of multiple genres, including Gothic Fiction, Mystery/Suspense, and Romance. Her stories can sometimes be dark, sometimes romantic, but always spooky. She loves spooky!" Kerry (talk) 10:08, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
