Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

First illuminated on July 10, 1860, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse went dark for most of the Civil War after assistant keeper Augustus Lang and other Confederate sympathizers disabled its light mechanism and hid the parts nearby, letting blockade runners use the inlet more safely; the light wasn't relit until June 28, 1866. Visitors climbing its steep tower steps report strange noises, cold spots, and the sensation of hands resting on their shoulders, only to turn and find no one there; some attribute the activity to the spirits of shipwrecked sailors and former keepers.
