EP 420 - Alison Botha and Flannan Isles Lighthouse

About this episode

This episode covers the brutal survival story of Alison Botha and the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers at Flannan Isles.

Kerri is covers the story of Alison Botha a brutal story of survival and honestly, we don't know how she got through it. Alison survived an attack so horrific it's hard to even put into words, and yet somehow she fought to stay alive when most people wouldn't have made it. Donna is taking us to a tiny, windswept island off the Scottish coast where, in December 1900, three lighthouse keepers just... vanished. No bodies, no explanation — just an abandoned lighthouse with a half-eaten meal on the table and a whole lot of unanswered questions. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
