This is the house of ghosts on Pabbay. Ronald Morrison, originally from Uist, built the house in 1890/91. He was one of the four Pabbay fishermen who were lost at sea in the 1898 Pabbay fishing disaster when the boat, Lizzie, didn’t come home.

They were fishing with a boat from Mingulay, 5 miles south of Barra Head in an area known as ‘The sea of ghosts’ when a south westerly storm started. They headed for home and the Mingulay boat made it but the Pabbay boat was never seen again.

After the island was abandoned in 1912, the Vatersay fishermen would use it as a base but started complaining about strange noises in the house. Fearing it was haunted, they didn’t go back. Eventually the roof collapsed and the Vatersay men retrieved the beams to make byres with for their cattle. They refused to use them in the construction of their houses for fear of the ghosts of Pabbay going with the beams and haunting their houses.
