Spanish Head, Isle of Man
Spanish Head is a promontory rising measuring over 100m above sea level. So in the piece of Ghostlore below, the figure covered some height in his walk. “One of my neighbours was telling me he went to the Spanish Head before daylight in the morning to look after some snares he had set the evening before. As it was moonlight he thought the day was near, and there came to him a man walking up the precipice, and he could swear he was nine feet in height, but he walked on and took no notice.”
