The Drowned Woman of Feall
On the windswept shores of Feall, Isle of Coll, a tragic tale of a drowned woman has been etched into local folklore. They say her body washed up on the beach, and though she was buried locally, her spirit refused to rest. Locals began to spot her ghostly form at night, a fleeting glimpse of a woman in distress. One brave soul, a local man, took it upon himself to speak with the entity, and what she told him was nothing short of remarkable.
Digging deeper into the story, it seems the woman's ghostly appearances weren't just aimless wanderings. She had a clear purpose - to find her family. According to the local man, she mentioned that her family lived in Uist, and he, determined to help her, tracked down her brothers. They took her body home, and in return, the ghost gifted the man with an uncanny ability to sniff out thieves. This strange exchange has been passed down through the years, leaving behind a haunting that is as intriguing as it is poignant.
The incident is believed to have occurred in the past, possibly during the Victorian era, though the exact date remains unknown.
