I hadn't planned to revisit the Point Pleasant case, but a series of emails from local resident Michael Dawson demanded attention. Dawson, who discovered my earlier articles about the lighthouse while researching unusual weather patterns in the area, reported something extraordinary: the lighthouse has been experiencing what locals call 'ghost storms' – peculiar electrical storms with heat lightning but no thunder, accompanied by dense, localized fog that seems to form only around the lighthouse.

According to Dawson's detailed observations, these phenomena began in early June, coinciding with several sightings of St. Elmo's fire atop the lighthouse tower – a rare electrical phenomenon typically seen only during severe maritime storms. What caught my attention wasn't just the weather anomalies, but Dawson's EMF readings taken during these events.

Despite my reluctance to revisit old cases, especially given the limited time I can devote to paranormal investigation, these reports warranted investigation. I arrived at Point Pleasant on June 25th, during one of these unusual weather events. What I encountered defied all previous experience.

My TriField meter, the same one that recorded a reading of 25 during my first visit and dropped to 8 after the storm damage, registered an unprecedented 35 – a level I've never seen at any investigation site. The reading remained stable for over an hour, coinciding with the strange atmospheric conditions Dawson had described.

More intriguing still was the pattern of fog formation. Rather than rolling in from the ocean as one would expect, the fog appeared to emanate from the lighthouse itself, forming a perfect spiral pattern that extended outward. The effect was visible both from ground level and from neighboring hillsides, ruling out optical illusion.

During this phenomenal display, we observed multiple instances of St. Elmo's fire along the gallery railing – a sight that immediately brought to mind Phelps' final log entry about 'something in the fog.' The correlation between his observations and current events seems too specific to be coincidental.

The Morse code signals, previously weakened to near-inaudibility, have returned with remarkable clarity. However, the message has changed. Instead of 'Still on watch,' we're now receiving a series of coordinates – all pointing to various locations in the North Atlantic where ships disappeared under mysterious circumstances between 1943 and 1945.

While I can't commit to a long-term investigation, I've documented everything thoroughly and shared my findings with local weather monitoring stations. The combination of meteorological anomalies and extraordinary EMF readings suggests we're witnessing something unprecedented at Point Pleasant.
