Tomnahurich Hill

The full moon shines On Tomnahurich Hill Even looking Gives you the chill The Fairy hill Mound of the dead When white silhouettes walk The townsfolk dread A ship lost at sea Engulfed by the mass The cries of their drown Rise through the grass They call out the names Of their loved ones they miss This night of the dead As they float through the mist This crew of souls Lost in their roam Thousands of miles From their Argentine homes What amazes the townsfolk Of Inverness This crew lost at sea In roaming distress Their ship was lost Of the Falklands coast Thousands of miles away But we see their ghosts So when the full moon shines On Tomnahurich Hill No blood is spilt Only their ghostly return will To continue the Ghost trail, having being tagged by Sara Kendrick, in turn i tag Mr Vince Suzadail Jr to do a ghost poem and tag a soul. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy3.php

The 1982 war for the Falklands-interesting write and very scary and sad,never knew that Argentine were lost at sea there whilst in a battle to conquer the Falklands,thanks to you i discovered a piece of history..and regarding Inverness,everyear i visit there...but quite scary to think that i can be seeing ghosts,prefer to see the faries and fiddlers or the birds flying over the awesome'River Ness'very spooky --well done Mr Highlander

Great poem, James! As you know I am off scalloping, but I had to stop by to read your latest post. This sounds a lot like the same type of haunting on the Flying Dutchman. So many images, perhaps mirages, are reported at sea that there must be something to these teles. I love the way your story unfolds. Another bit of sea history that is new to me! Love, Carolyn
