As legend has it, in the 1800s, the caretaker of the Seguin Island lighthouse and his wife were the only two people living on the tiny spit of land. They naturally grew increasingly bored and isolated. The caretaker bought a piano so his wife could play it to keep them both entertained, but she only knew one song. The insufferable repetition of the same tune, combined with the severe sense of isolation drove the husband mad. He took an ax, chopped the piano and his wife into bits, and then killed himself.
