Christ Church	before it was enclosed by a wall visitors would make midnight trips to see the flickering light of a candle above one of the tombstones, the car had to be driven slowly on the left side of the road with the lights dimmed, the story is that a woman who lived on the island was so afraid of the dark that she always slept with a lit candle by her bed, when she died her husband was distressed at the thought of his wife in the dark, so every night of his life he put a candle on the top of her tombs...
Ebo landing	Supposedly a group of chained slaves were being held on the beach (having just arrived on the slave smuggling ship the Wanderer), the slaves made a suicide pack. Rather than live their lives in irons they ran, chained side by side to one another, into the water and drowned. It is said the sight is haunted by their spirits, you can hear the heavy irons clatter as they sprint from the beach for the water.
