Long ago, it is thought that a light sat atop a now lost tower at the Union Inn on Watchouse Lane in Cowes. When her husband was fishing at sea, the Tower-keeper's wife would check the light to ensure the men could return safely. The legend goes that on one particularly tempestuous night, she forgot to make her checks. The light went out and several men, including her husband, were lost in the storm. Consumed with guilt, it is said that her forlorn spirit still walks the staircase, long beyond where it ends today, all the way to the very top to check on the long lost lantern to guide the men home.
