What awaits
Legend. A legend recorded by Charles M. Skinner in 1896 holds that Charles Island in Milford, Connecticut is haunted. The story is usually told with a headless figure and a light with no one carrying it. In the version that reached print, it is a buried-treasure story. The Haunted Guide carries it as nineteenth-century folklore from Myths and Legends of Our Own Land, not as established fact.
