    I was apart of a group of 5 people who just helped with a restoration project. Tilly is standing strong!! She just got a fresh coat of paint and much more. We camped out for 4 days and 3 nights. Nothing spooky or ghostly. It was a once in a life time experience

    In '78 the man that worked at GE was interviewed, he bought it in '73 for $10000. Him, his wife and friends would go there and stay for vacation every year. He sold it in '79 for $50000. Someone didn't do to good of job on researching it for this story...

      @Just Looking Geologic Map of the Tillamook Highlands, Northwest Oregon Coast Range report says this. " Marine mud-stone and sandstone are inter-bedded with all of the volcanic units and comprise most of the late Eocene to Miocene strati-graphic section that forms the flanks of the Coast Range uplift. " So goes the geology of the lighthouse rock. Your quite correct on that speculation. Very good!

    That's one of the creepiest looking lighthouses I've ever seen. But still not as creepy as someone who would vandalize someone's ashes. The story about the GE exec restoring the lighthouse is bunk. There's a CZcams video showing him, his wife and some friends in 1978 at the lighthouse. They did a little cleanup and brought in a generator, but that's hardly "restoring it." The bird shit and stench ran them off in quick order... lol.
