It’s partly based on the unfinished Edgar Allan Poe short story called, you guessed it, “The Lighthouse.” Now, I’m not quite sure how much of a role the lighthouse had in driving them go bongo bananas but I’m sure it didn’t help. You will want to take this into consideration before buying the lighthouse I’m going to show you. Someone dig up Poe and dust off your ye’s, thee’s and thou’s. The Middle Ground Lighthouse located in Newport News, Virginia is listed for $995,000.
