Rock cleft and small cascade on the eastern side of North Barrule, in the parish of Maughold, associated with a well-known Buggane tradition.

The place was known as Gob ny Scuit and was described in the nineteenth century as a cleft in the rock beside a small cascade. Local people attributed the strange noises heard there in particular winds to a Buggane, or restless spirit, which became known as the Gob ny Scuit Boagane.

The spirit was said to wail when the wind was in a certain direction. One account describes it as a disquiet spirit which had met an untimely end. Ballawhane, the celebrated Andreas charm-doctor, was reputed to have tried unsuccessfully to lay it.

William Kinnish of Maughold, author of Mona’s Isle and Other Poems (1844), investigated the noises himself. He repeatedly examined the rocks until he discovered that the supposed Buggane was produced by a natural feature: a deep cleft in the face of the rock through which wind and water could produce the sound.

Later folklore gave the apparition a more elaborate form. W. Walter Gill recorded that Gob ny Scuit had been haunted by a spectre resembling a man with the head of a cat and large fiery eyes. It was said to howl through the district on winter nights and to be the ghost of a murderer.
