Two young warriors but lately married were slain.

As their bodies were never recovered, they were supposed to have been stolen and eaten by the enemy.

Their young widows spent days searching for them, after the tribe had given up hope of finding them.

At last the widows--who had refused to marry again, declaring their husbands yet lived, and that one day they would find them--disappeared.
Time passed; they did not return, so were supposed to be dead too.

Then arose the rumour that their ghosts had been seen, and to this day it is said the plain of Weawarra is haunted by them.
Should men camp there at night, these women spirits silently steal into the camp.
