AFTER DARK | The Rock That Remembers: Terrible Tilly and the Haunting of Tillamook Lighthouse | Ghosts, Isolation & Ashes at Sea

Episode | 30 min | Nov 30, 2025

This episode contains references to death, psychological distress, and human remains. Listener discretion is advised.


Isolated a mile off the Oregon coast, Terrible Tilly was never meant to survive. From its first fatal survey to a hundred years of wrecks, ruined minds, and sealed urns, Tillamook Rock Lighthouse has drawn more than storms. Some say its light never really went out — that something still watches from the empty lantern tower.

Episode | 33 min | Nov 29, 2025

Episode | 23 min | Nov 27, 2025

They ride the western winds in flocks. Not ghosts, not fairies, but something far older and far more feared. In Gaelic folklore, the Sluagh are the unforgiven dead: soul-snatchers, deathbed thieves, and sky-born wraiths cast from Heaven, Hell, and even the fairy realm.
