In this episode, we explore the entwined histories of Oregon’s Yaquina Head and Yaquina Bay Lighthouses—two coastal beacons separated by three miles but united by mystery, legacy, and light. Through ghost stories, shipwreck legends, and the passionate efforts of lighthouse keepers and preservationists, their distinct personalities come alive: one towering and majestic, the other humble and haunted. We journey from their 19th-century origins through wartime duty, abandonment, restoration, and joyful community celebrations. Along the foggy shore, these twin lights still whisper to one another, guiding ships and souls alike.
