Black CoveLanding Point · 835 yd

Explorer Tom Black Cove is sick of being asked if it’s haunted, because it’s just a cove that’s seen too many boats arrive late and grumpy. It was a landing point for people who probably smelled worse than the tide smells right now, so don’t expect it to be polite. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from the seagulls.

Nether HazelfieldHuman Remains, Cinerary Urn · 1250 yd

Explorer Tom Nether Hazelfield is guarding an urn that might hold bones or just ancient dust, and it’s acting like the postman owes it money every time a letter goes astray nearby. It’s got a real chip on its shoulder about being unassigned in the records. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

RascarrelBuilding(s) · 1365 yd

Explorer Tom Rascarrel would say in a job interview that it has excellent structural integrity and zero maintenance costs. It’d brag about its views like they’re stock options from a tech company. The farmland around it just looks on, unimpressed by the whole corporate speak situation. Go with someone who loves old

OrrolandFarmhouse (17th Century), Farmstead (17th Century), Farmstead (17th Century) · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Orroland had a fairy dispute over parking rights that lasted three centuries and ended when the fairies just gave up and moved to the hedge. It’s a seventeenth-century farmhouse with gardens that look like they’ve seen better days but refuse to admit it. The farmstead is listed twice, which suggests even the record-keepers were unsure if it was real or a dream. Stick around for the light changing

Explorer Tom The Tower in Dumfries and Galloway has been keeping a secret for centuries, mostly because it’s too tall to lean in and whisper without looking silly. It looks like it’s hiding a scandal involving a very important hat that was stolen in the 1400s and never found. The whole place is just going 'shhh' while you try to figure out if it’s actually haunted or just dusty. Ten minutes here
