Man decides to spend 60 days in a Haunted French Lighthouse (video)

Perched precariously on a tiny island off the coast of Brittany is the lighthouse of Tévennec, which is said to be hauntedMany of us would refuse to spend just one night in a creepy location that's said to be haunted - but one brave adventurer is attempting endure 60 days somewhere spooky completely by himself.

Marc Pointud is set to stay in the 'haunted' lighthouse of Tévennec, which sits on a tiny isolated island off the coast of France near Brittany.

Battling loneliness and isolation, he will be the first inhabitant of the mysterious lighthouse in 100 years, which has a dark reputation for sending those that live there insane.

There have subsequently been 23 guards, but no one has dared to live there since 1910.  

The tiny white building is perched on a small, jagged rock, often surrounded by crashing waves, which makes visiting extremely difficult.

Thankfully Mr Pointud is used to dangerous conditions at sea, having spent extended periods sailing.

The lighthouse is said to have claimed the lives of previous lighthouse keepers who stayed on the property.
