About the event
Point King Lighthouse, located on the north shore entrance to Princess Royal Harbour, was the first navigational light for the port of Albany and the second lighthouse built on Western Australia’s coastline.
John Reddin was the last lighthouse keeper at Point King. The lighthouse and the keeper’s cottage now stand as ruins. However, on a stormy night in the 1980’s, Jennifer King and her family found themselves in distress coming into the Port of Albany from Hamelin Bay.
As the wind and waves threatened to overwhelm their vessel, a figure resembling John Reddin appeared.
This chilling tale will leave you wondering….do ghosts really exist.
