Fear of Ghosts Haunts Island: The Bones of Hangman’s Hill, Haunted History

A small 1994 newspaper clipping from The Scotsman we came across writes about a skull being uncovered on the island of Coll, in a place long known as Hangman’s Hill and of the islanders frightened enough to ask the church to bless the ground. Behind the discovery lies an older Maclean clan tradition of murder, revenge, execution, unconsecrated burial, and the belief that some dead do not rest quietly.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:The Scotsman — Monday 4 April 1994 — “Fear of ghosts haunts island”https://macleanhistory.org/resources/texts/the_clan_gillean.txthttps://archive.org/stream/transactions29gaeluoft/transactions29gaeluoft_djvu.txthttps://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/https://archive.org/stream/folklore08folkuoft/folklore08folkuoft_djvu.txtThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
