A historic lighthouse on a small rocky island off the coast of York, Maine, was minding its own business last week, as lighthouses tend to do, when it was attacked by a naked dancing man armed with a golf club.
Why was he naked? What was the purpose of the dancing? And what did the lighthouse do to him to prompt an attack with a golf club?
If I was a betting man, I’d say we’re never going to know the answers to those questions. The York Police Department hasn’t made the man’s identity public, reports the Bangor Daily News.

What they did reveal, along with the fact that he was naked, dancing, and in possession of a golf club, is that he was allegedly trespassing at Cape Neddick Lighthouse at around 6:15 pm on Tuesday evening.
He was also alleged to have caused damage to the lighthouse, which is also known as Nubble Light. The outlet adds that police were able to take him into custody without incident and take him to the hospital for a mental health evaluation.
That’s good news for any lighthouses in the area. Now, the unnamed man is known to several of the York establishments. According to police, he had been asked recently to leave them for disruptive behavior.

I’d say it’s safe to assume that this disruptive behavior didn’t involve the removal of clothing or the use of a golf club, since it was categorized by authorities as not criminal.
As for whether any dancing was involved, that’s hard to say. It wasn’t specifically mentioned, but it’s within the realm of possibilities.
Perhaps he was a man who wanted to share his dancing with the world and when nobody noticed he took it out on the lighthouse. Whatever the case, I hope he gets whatever help he may need.
I have a feeling the Nubble Light will be just fine, despite this ordeal.
