Cornish Smuggler Ghost

The brother and sister team, the Fyns, were notorious smugglers and pirates, who used Looe Island as their base. Black Joan, as she was universally known, was the more fearsome of the two and is credited with the murder of a Negro whose ghost is now said to haunt the island.
