Her ghost has been seen during the day, at dusk and at night time.
The same apparition, the ghost of a woman in a ‘winding sheet’, is said to rise out of the ground and roam the ‘hills and holes’ of the Weybourne area while at nearby North Repps are several water-filled hollows which also bear the name of the Shrieking Pits, this time named for another wailing woman, whose change of heart after a suicide attempt fell on deaf ears.
Further tales suggest that an entire horse and cart have been swallowed by the North Repps pool and another source claimed the pits were to the west of the village in a wooded area called Grave Holes and that the wailing heard from the pits was connected to “old sea kings” (or Vikings) and where they buried their heroes.
