Description
The Bodie Island Lighthouse has been standing in Bodie Island which is found in the outer banks of North Carolina. It was created way back in 1872 and it has a height of 156 feet. It is situated exactly on the Roanoke Sound side of the first part of the island that is also included in the section of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The natives of the place call the name of the lighthouse with a long o sound instead of the usual pronunciation of o when you say the word body. It was actually derived from Bodies Island when a family whose surname is Body was the one who bought it. On the other hand, some myths say that it is because of the huge number of dead bodies of sailors that were taken ashore.
