Corpse Candles of Holly Pool

Holly Pool, Taagan, Highland Crisis Apparition Early 20th century

Holly Pool in Taagan, Highlands, is a spot where the veil between worlds seems to be at its thinnest. For years, locals have reported seeing two ghostly lights dancing across the pool's surface, a phenomenon that has become known as the Corpse Candles. These eerie lights are said to appear at dusk, casting an otherworldly glow across the surrounding landscape.
