"Ocean is more ancient than the mountains,
and freighted with the memories and the dreams of time."
-HP Lovecraft
The last episode in the four part special and in some ways the best was saved for last. This had a spectacular story and especially so close to Hallowe'en: that of Mary and her husband, Alexander, lighthouse caretakers who lived in the caretakers cottage. Apparently Mary had an unfortunate death, was she killed, fell or committed suicide, at the edge of the cliff. However they decided it was an accident as "accident" came through towards the end on the voice recorder. Something I must admit was hard for me to agree with in lots of ways and for many reasons. Yeah occupational hazard here. If it was an accidental death why so much mystery, if that's the right word, surrounding it. I mean, her letter saying her husband, "man was reading a paper in the next room..." As if she was either setting him up for some sort of a fall, or if he really was a dark monster after all, exuding negative energy now as a spirit still haunting and subjecting others to turmoil. Or she was giving up her meds to get better without them. Thus perhaps she was disorientated, but why go near the cliffs?
As the psychic Wendy also felt a negative male energy stating it could be Alexander, as well as the spirits of Native Americans still haunting their lands! Zak sent in Aaron to carry out a spirit box session to see if he could get any results and he got a female voice as soon as he entered which said "someone coming..." As well as a male voice "you'll see." Only heard the 'see' bit, but then that could have referred to 'sea' as opposed to the other visual see. They went to the ship, The Columbia which was the last vessel to sail and carried out further research. Before heading out to their lockdown. When Billy was playing back the spirit box voices and Zak heard :" someone's coming" which to me sounded more like "I've ended it"??? Zak lost his temper and threw the Mel Meter across the room. Before storming out. He said that Mary's husband was channelling him and told Jay to get out cos he was questioning him and asking what happened to him. The other voice is "I'm helpless" not "what happened!"
The sound man also saying their mics were affected by static and Zak eventually got rid of the bad spirit. Before he headed back to Deathman's Hollow as the bodies of the ship Vandolia's crew were washed here; with Billy and Aaron. Jay investigated the lighthouse with Aaron. Zak thought he saw a dark shadow there but couldn't confirm it was paranormal or debunk it either way. As well as seeing a light out at sea which could have been anything. Inside the lighthouse Jay was using an old ship's radio from the 1950's which would have been used by ship's captains and he got a sound coming through akin to perhaps a distress signal. Which I thought was pretty cool especially since that mysterious light seemed to have shown up at about the same time at sea. SO could this have been a downed ship reappearing. Or just some from of light phenomena which had nothing to do with spirits.
Aaron getting a voice as soon as he entered the Northhead Lighthouse and feeling like someone followed him up the stairs. Male voice says "need to know." The male voice said "the sea," not "you'll see." Which is more about where she 'fell' and that voice sounds female, not male to me. As Aaron is about to ask probably if that's where her life was ended. This is deffo not 'coming', it's a 'd' sound not an 'in' or 'g' ending on the word!
Kinda spoils your enjoyment if you cling to a word or phrase the first time it comes through and then don't go back and decipher it fully even when it's been enhanced cos that does not sound like "someone's coming" at all and why say someone if everyone is saying it was her husband,
Later on the "you got it" sounded like Aaron so much that we thought it was him who actually said it and not some other male voice. The female voice in the lighthouse says "I'm back here."
Most of it doesn't make sense; it's as if something was pissing them about an distorting the real facts of what happened.
