3 Lighthouse Keepers Vanished Without a Trace — The Flannan Isles Mystery

In December 1900, three lighthouse keepers vanished from Eilean Mòr, a remote island in Scotland's Flannan Isles. When the relief ship finally arrived, the lighthouse was deserted. James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald McArthur were nowhere to be found — and their bodies were never recovered. Investigators discovered signs of severe damage near the western landing, leading to a theory that an enormous wave may have swept the men into the Atlantic. But one question has remained for more than a century: Why were all three experienced lighthouse keepers outside at the same time? In this video, we examine the documented evidence, the official explanation, and the legends that grew around one of Scotland's most enduring maritime mysteries.
