Full Atlantic and over a hundred kilometers from the Hebrides, the islands are called by travelers Flannan the "seven hunters, among them is the island Eilean More, the largest and the northernmost as the location.
to these islands was given the name of St. Flannan, a bishop of the seventeenth century, who also built a chapel here. More on Eilean there was an abundance of pastures and often brought in the shepherds grazing flocks, but strangely, nobody who has spent only one night because it was said that on the inhabited island of the little people, entities elemental fearful.
soon began to ply the trade routes more frequently these sea areas around the nineteenth century, the ships that cut north-south route to Clydebank, often going to crash into the Flannan. This situation led overseeing the northern English in 1895 to plan the construction of a lighthouse on Eilean More, beacon that would landmark for the area mare.Per the start of work had to wait two years and the same persisted for a long time before they are completed. The difficulties were many, the continuous stormy sea, a building that was to be built on a peak at over 60 meters high, made the construction of the lighthouse really hard. Despite the difficulties, the lighthouse was opened in December 1899. Its light would brighten the left cliff. But not everything went as planned, in fact, eleven days before Christmas in 1900 the lighthouse was already off, why? The superintendent sought immediately to verify the incident. Here they were sent three people as guardians of the light of experience, James Ducat, Donald McArtur, Thomas Marshall, possible that all three were mysteriously absent? What had happened?
On 26 December 1900, the dawn was about to be clear and limpid, with a calm sea at last. The ship could sail to lead the Hesperus sig.Joseph Morr mistero.Stranamente to verify the sea near the island is big, and after three attempts, could attraccare.Nessun signal was received on arrival at the ship's records. Morr reach the fence and begins to climb the lighthouse calling aloud the three guards without getting any response.
coupling into the spotlight with two other sailors, he saw with anxiety that all was in order! Nothing was out of place, read in order, cold fireplace ash, wall clock stopped, no nothing, only on a blackboard were written a few notes dated 15/12/1900 at 09.00, the day when the spotlight is turned off! ! The structure was controlled lighting of the lighthouse, but even there everything was in order, wicks soaked and cleaned, ready for ignition.
Mystery thick, the team returned to Lewis with Christmas gifts and without a response. The assumption is followed, but no convincing, since they were discovered the bodies assume what? It was thought that all three were victims of a storm, which swept them away by making them fall into the sea on the pier, the problem is that December 15 was a calm day with flat sea! Also confirmed by the ship's transit Archer, Captain Holman passing near the island, and released this statement, adding that the lighthouse was already off to its passage.
Another hypothesis was the murder, a fit of madness one of the three who killed their classmates and then took his life, but no evidence to substantiate this hypothesis was never found. A tidal wave? Suddenly swept three from the pier? But it became evident that one of the three was definitely in the spotlight, as there were only two of the three waterproof protection, while the third was in place, while seeing friends in difficulty would not have fallen to them with a minimum of protection, in short, a chilling and unsolved mystery. But no one has done more than its the case, but in the end on what to investigate?
My hypothesis will be added to the myriad of other cases over the years that followed ..... perhaps the same force acting in the Bermuda Triangle was the terminus here, maybe more than a strength is something more material ..... of mobile, driven ..... or is it a form of abduction in style to the X-Files, place, outside the world desolate, quiet, undisturbed where they put their beloved gray vacuum other biological material very useful ..... or is it really a supernatural force that has rebelled, incattivita from our devastating and intrusive technological civilization that is permanently deleted from all the lands of the world, that sense of magic that is lost in the mists of time, in distant echoes, and live in the woods populated ethereal and fantastic creatures, now relegated to a fateful humanity as legends, old books on obscure and forgotten in libraries.
