Summary

Two missing women found drowned in Tay at spot identified by woman with second sight.

The wife of Sergeant Strathearn, the volunteer instructor at Aberfeldy, went missing, and it was thought she had drowned in the Tay, but the body could not be found. A woman at Rannoch who had second sight was consulted and she told the searchers the spot to go to and also that there was another body. The second body was that of a servant girl who was thought to have been visiting her family; no one knew she was missing.
