A man, going home at night to Ledmore (_Leudmòr_), near Loch Frisa, in Mull, saw the kitchen-maid of the house in which he was at service waiting for him on the other side of a ford that lay in his way. Suspecting the appearance, he went further up the stream to avoid it, but it was waiting for him at every ford. At last he crossed, and held on his way, the apparition accompanying him. At the top of the first incline, the apparition threw him down. He rose, but was again thrown. He struggled, but the figure, he said, had no weight, and he grasped nothing but wind. On the highest part of the ascent, called _Guala Spinne_, the apparition left him. After going home, the man spoke to the woman whose spectre had met him. “The next time,” he said, “you meet me, I will stab you.” This made the woman cry, but he was never again troubled by her apparition. A native of Glenbeg in Ardnamurchan, Henderson by name, was at service in Kilfinichen in Mull. One of the servant maids there made him a present of a pair of worsted gloves. After returning home from service, he had, one evening towards dusk (_am bial an anmuich_, lit. in the mouth of lateness) to go from Glenbeg to Kilchoan, by a path across a steep incline on the side of the lofty Ben-shianta, towards the projection known as “The Nose of the Macleans” (_Sròin Chloinn Illeathain_). Steep mountain paths of this kind are called _Catha_, and this particular catha is called _Catha na Muice_ (the pig’s pass). Near the top of the ascent (_aonaich_), and where the difficult path ceases (_bràighe na Catha_), there is a narrow step (_aisre_), which only one person at a time can cross, leading towards another ascent (_aonaich_). When going up the first ascent, or cadha, Henderson was joined by the apparition of the woman who had made him the gloves in Kilfinichen. She was on the up side of him, and he saw, when he came to the _aisre_, if she chose to give him a push, he would be precipitated into the black shore (_du-chladach_), which the rocks there overhang, and become a shapeless bundle (_seirgein cuagach_). He blessed himself, and taking courage crossed in safety. When he got on more level ground, over towards Correi-Vulin, he took the gloves she had given him, and threw them at her, saying “that is all the business you have with me.” He stayed that night in _Laga Fliuch_, and next day went to Kilchoan. On his return he looked for the gloves, and saw them where he had thrown them. He had no return of the vision. APPARITIONS OF THE DEAD.
