A harrowing memory from the Sound in the 1950s, when Colin Watterson watched as a tourist who ignored warnings and was dragged out to drown close to Kitterland.
Some nights later he saw a body pass through the Sound in the moonlight, and not long after it was finally found by Port Erin breakwater.

This is an extract from the oral history interview with Colin Watterson recorded on 02 May 2018. The full interview is available online here: https://www.culturevannin.im/watchlisten/oralhistory/colin-watterson-581584/
