Description
From the time the Oregon Coast was first settled during the 1850s well into the early 1900s, the only coastal town links with the outside world were via coastal shipping.
These towns were cut off from the rest of the world by the coastal mountain range. Few roads existed outside early maritime/frontier town limits.
Jetties were built in the late 1800s to keep shifting sands from placing ocean going ships into mortal peril as they sought safe entry into each coastal harbor.
With every coastal harbor came the need for a lighthouse.
With every lonely lighthouse...stories of ghostly happenings have increased over the years.
This view is from the second story hall window of the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse keeper's house...
Muriel is the resident lighthouse ghost of a young girl supposedly left by her sea-captain father in the nearby town of Newport.
Should you be in for a short ghost story, click here, if you dare,...Muahahaha...

Gorgeous vista; the framing of the window and curtains is perfect!
It 'panes' me to say that this is a beautiful window view.
wonderful POV!!
I think this is one of the very best pics I have seen on this site, Bill!
What a view--but I wonder if Muriel still loves it? I wonder if ghosts even can SEE? Oh dear, now you've got me wondering about all kinds of things!! lol GREAT shot!!
Awesome shot, Bill and the ghost story is very creepy :-)))
Awesome photo using window as frame !!

Amazing view & story. I wonder what really happened to poor Muriel!!
beautiful view
Fabulous view Bill, great capture!!
Quite a story, he types, the hair on his neck rising as he looks through the window, tapping his keyboard... Clive
ohhh I had to go read the story! Hauntingly cool Bill, sad as well but so many of these such stories are. Beautiful view she has though! :-)
Awesome image Hugs Susan~
Well, aside from the spectral presence breathing down my neck, I'd love to look up from my computer desk and see a view like this! Wonderful view and capture, Bill!
Kind of a Wuthering Heights ambience in this stellar shot, Bill; the stuff of spooky movies. Now if you could only capture the ghost of Muriel on your memory card, that would shake up your viewing audience to the max.
A great capture of this wonderful view and I like how you have framed it with the window.
wonderful shot
