In 1929, Netta Fornario came to the small Scottish island of Iona for a break from the hectic pace of London city life. For island residents - most devout Christians - she was an outsider, but a friendly, kind person, who was just a little different. Netta was a practitioner of the occult, believed in fairies, and thought of herself as a healer, even trying to heal people through telepathy.
However, one November day, Netta didn't return home. Days later, her body was found on a hillside, nude, with a knife nearby and a cross carved into the earth. Was it murder? Did she take her own life? Was it simply an accident? In this episode we'll talk about her life, theories around her death, and how the people of Iona took Netta in as one of their own.
