Lovesick Lighthouse

Trigger warning: Themes of death and suicide.
St. Hyacinth's Lighthouse, known colloquially as "Lovesick Lighthouse", is a maritime structure nestled on the edge of Coastal Lost Cove. Standing at 170 feet tall, this lighthouse casts a wide beam of light over what appears to be the Pacific Ocean — though with the inherent nature of Lost Cove's barrier and the heavy fog that covers the horizon, it serves no purpose for seafarers traveling long distances simply because there are none. However, what Lovesick Lighthouse has become known for are its lively spirits — and its otherworldly prophetic connections to love.
===Origin===
St. Hyacinth's Lighthouse, which was built in 1892, has its own share of history — and its own share of tragedy. One of the first deaths reported at the lighthouse occurred in 1902, when a man named Arthur Wreckless took a fatal fall from the scaffolding while putting on a fresh coat of paint. His wife, Esperanza Wreckless, was appointed as a lighthouse guard right after his tragic end. Esperanza was left heartbroken, fated to walk the same steps her husband once followed day in and day out. She was even known to stand at the edge of the catwalk, looking down to where her husband's body once laid broken upon the rocks' edges, until she eventually succumbed to her grief and threw herself from the railing to meet a similar end.
===Present Day===
Though the spirits of Arthur and Esperanza Wreckless are not often seen, they can always be felt. Those who climb up and down the spiral stairs of the lighthouse often hear an extra set of footsteps following right after them — and while the lighthouse itself is considered a smoke-free ground, there have been numerous reports of a man lingering in the old living quarters, reeking of the raw, sickly-sweet odor of a freshly lit cigar. And those who set foot upon the catwalk, especially those in love, will feel a strange pull when standing too close to the railing... and an aching in their chest unlike any other.
In recent years, the lighthouse has garnered an almost cult-like following behind the tale of a husband and wife torn by tragedy, thus garnering a new name more well-known than its original. It's not uncommon to see young lovers ascend the lighthouse's heights to test the limits of their love and see if the aching in their chest is for the right person.
