The Haunted Lighthouse of Gibraltar Point
Manage episode 345407129 series 2883729
The lighthouse at Toronto's Gibraltar Point is one of the city's oldest landmarks. It also has a dark secret, if you believe the legends. For over two centuries, people have shared the story of J. P. Radelmüller, the lighthouse's first keeper, said to have been murdered, chopped to pieces, and scattered across the island one cold winter's night in 1815. They say he was a bootlegger. They say his killers were never convicted. And they say the ghost of Radelmüller still haunts the lighthouse, having never been put to rest. But what's fact, and what's fiction? In this episode, we'll shine a light on a tale that simultaneously a murder mystery, a ghost story, and a stirring piece of Canadian Gothic fiction.
