Souter Lighthouse opened in 1871, the first in the UK purpose-built for electric light. It is said to be haunted by a former keeper and by Bob, a colliery worker said to have died there in the 1930s, with tools vanishing and tobacco smoke smelt. Isobella Darling, niece of Grace Darling, who lived there, is also linked to cold spots in the kitchen.
