When William arrived shortly after, it's believed that he first shot and killed the neighbors who attempted to protect his wife.

Coordinates: 43.473201°, -76.516725°
Location Address: Port of Oswego Authority, 1 E. 2nd Street, Oswego, New York Constructed in 1934, the West Pierhead Lighthouse in Oswego, New York is said to be haunted by the spirits of six United States Coast Guard sailors who were killed after crashing their boat into a nearby breakwall. On November 30, 1942, a large blizzard descended onto Lake Ontario and the West Pierhead Lighthouse, where Boatswain's Mate First Class Karl H. Jackson was stationed for duty. After being stranded at the lighthouse for five days, a small break in the storm allowed for a rescue attempt. A rescue crew of eight men was dispatched to the lighthouse to deliver supplies and replace Karl Jackson with another guard. The crew arrived at the lighthouse and was able to successfully deliver the supplies, as well as retrieve Karl Jackson, who was replaced with a different guard. Upon beginning the return trip, however, a large wave struck the 30-foot long vessel, causing it to slam into the lighthouse with enough force to cause the engine to stall. The ship was then left powerless against the 60-mile-an-hour winds pushing it slowly towards the lighthouse's eastern breakwall, which it eventually met with such force that six of its eight crew members were killed instantly, including Boatswain's Mate First Class Karl H. Jackson. According to legend, their spirits are said to haunt the lighthouse, and guests frequently report witnessing apparitions and glowing orbs at night. Others report hearing the disembodied sounds of men screaming, as well as feeling the presence of an unseen entity.
