I haven't heard story about keepers. Do you have any details?

Just over a year after the light was first exhibited, on 15 December 1900, the disaster which has since captured the imagination of the public,
three lighthouse-keepers, Thomas Marshall, James Ducat and Donald McArthur, on the lonely outcrop of the Flannan Isles, approx 20 miles from the Outer Hebrides, western Scotland, disappeared without trace.
The Light was reported out by a passing ship, when the Lighthouse board ship finally got to the light there was no sign of the keepers and no sign of a struggle, it look like they left in a hurry as the table was set and the food was half eaten.

Thanks Neil! We have simular mistery in Russia - Dyatlov Pass. Still many people are trying to resolve but no success.
