Shetland Islands
Windhouse
The most haunted house in Shetland
Welcome
It stands roofless above the road on Yell, and Laurie Goodlad calls it the most haunted house in Shetland: a lady in silk, a black dog, a man without a head, depending on who is telling it.
A skeleton was found under the floor during work on the house, which has not helped the stories settle.
