The grey figure of Mohni island

Mohni is a small island about four and a half kilometres off Viinistu, with a lighthouse and a handful of old outbuildings. For years its warden caught glimpses of someone crossing the yard from the corner of her eye; she would run out, find no one, and in the end accepted that a restless soul shared the island with her. Footsteps echoed in the lighthouse corridor, and a ferryman also saw the tall grey figure. When builders came to demolish and rebuild, the spirit grew angry: a worker was knocked off his ladder, a child's crying came from an empty room, and knocking sounded where a door had once been. A priest finally blessed the island's cemetery. The lighthouse still guides ships.
