As it got closer, he could see figures on the deck, but they didn't look like normal sailors. They had a pale glow about them. When the ship reached the shore near the lighthouse, the keeper heard a shrill whistle. He then saw the figures starting to move towards the lighthouse.

The whole night he could hear them scratching at the door and the walls, creating a truly terrifying experience.
