Location. Waitahanui, New Zealand
Date: October 1875 Time: late night
A correspondent of the Bay of Plenty Times-thus writes: —A most extraordinary story has been related by several gentlemen which has caused no little amount of discussion. The story is—Some short time ago the relators left this place in a whale boat for an old kamga called Waitahanui, a few miles along the margin of the lake, that after landing and remaining for some time they decided to stay for the night, and finally took up their quarters in an old Maori whare. In the evening they made a fire in the house and returned to rest.
Their slumbers were not as soft as could be desired, however, for in a short time sounds ‘strange and unnatural,’ saluted the ears of the would be sleepers, and very soon after a strange figure made its appearance in the whare , and took up a position beside the fire. The occupants of the house, it can be easily imagined, did not care particularly for a being in such ‘a questionable shape,’ and some of them gazed in fear and trembling and soon left the house; the rest remained with their heads under the blankets. One gentleman courageously seized a frying pan and shied it at the object, which immediately fled from their gaze, but not like a ‘beautiful dream.’ The specter is described as being in the shape of a man, of light color, large gray beard, with eyes like balls of fire, and seemed as if it just emerged from the water, as its head was covered with water-cress hanging down to its shoulders, about three feet in height, and a perfect skeleton, and as it walked or hobbled they could hear its bones rattle like in a box. The story is well authenticated by all who were present (Europeans) and there is no doubt that some extraordinary object was seen by them, but whether a spirit from Heaven or a ‘goblin dammed’ remains at present a profound mystery.
