So, as usual, I was messing around with Skyrim's console commands and my own immortality (Those console commands are just way too tempting, I swear.). One of the mods I have installed adds a bunch of small bandit camps that don't really have much a backstory or anything out of the ordinary about them. And before you think this is a simple secret added in by the mod author, I urge you to read on, because this is really interesting. A few of the "Skyrim Veterans" out there, or have used either the Elder Scrolls Wikia or UESP might know of an unmarked island off the coast of Haafingar (The hold Solitude's located in) called "Fool's Gold Island". I was there because one of the bandit camps added by the mod I mentioned before was on this island, and thus I had a fast travel marker. I happened to fast travel too the island at ~12:30 at night in-game, clearing out the 4 bandits in the rather small camp (Consisting of 4 camps). Upon clearing, I just so happened to look in the direction of where the skeleton clinging too the old, tattered flag is, and saw a ghost. Now I'm aware there are a few random encounters involving ghosts, but this one is different, and doesn't appear to be random. Let me go over it's "schedule" Ghost spawns at around 12:30 or 1:00 AM in-game. After spawning in, she'll always go to the same vein of ore on the island; If you're facing mainland Tamriel from the island, and turn right, it'll be the one on that side of the island. For some reason, the ghost starts mining it. After about 30 in-game minutes, she will return to the skeleton. The ghost will turn away from the flag and start praying (Using the animation an NPC would use at one of the shrines too the Divines) toward the Sea of Ghosts. It will continue that for about 30 in-game minutes. It appears to continue between mining that ore vein and going back to where it spawned and praying toward the Sea of Ghosts until 5 or 5:30 in the morning, when she vanishes (Similar to most ghosts in random encounters).I've been searching for information about this too no avail; no information about any ghost on Fool's Gold Island anywhere. There a few speculations of the origin of the skeleton clinging to the flagpole (Where the ghost spawns), but no mention of the ghost. This has lead me to believe that, even 4 years after the game's release, their are still secrets left unknown in the world of Skyrim. Having done a fair bit of research in the lore of Skyrim and being someone who cares a lot about tiny details, here's what I could discern. The ghost is female, likely of the Nordic race. However, what's interesting is the fact that she has some version of the Fine Clothes set, suggesting she's a noble. I know that beyond the Sea of Ghosts is the fabled continent of Atmora. Atmora is where the Nedes came from, who traveled to and settled Skyrim, and these people eventually became the Nords. This could suggest that she was not a Nord, but actually a Nede. Too further support my evidence, I've watched the ghost repeatedly on multiple days, and the ghost always appears at the same time, follows the same routine, and vanishes by the dead body. One thing that should be noted is that she doesn't talk, suggesting that the ghost is stuck in a loop (Which is common in ghost stories). The one thing I haven't done was to test this on a save without the mod installed, and if someone could do that for me, that'd be great. Just go the Fool's Gold Island, wait until 12 or 1 at night, and see if she appears. What do you guys think the backstory behind this ghost is? Also, if anyone has indeed found this before, can someone please post a link so I can see it?
