This weird story comes from the Kadina and Wallaroo Times, South Australia
Wednesday 10th July 1901 (page 3)
The following incident can be vouched for, says the Bulletin -
"A party had been staying in the vicinity of Newcastle (NSW), and during their stay a strong attachment (was made) between one of the men and a girl living at the house.
It was the last night they were to be together, and she (the girl) sang Tosti's 'GOODBYE" with a great deal of point and fervor.
The next day the men went out fishing, and camped on an island.
That night, about midnight they were startled to hear some one singing, 'GOODBYE' outside, and recognised the voice.
On going out they saw, on the sand outside their tent, the print of two bare feet - the great toe and the first being WEBBED in both places.
They reached the land, and the first thing they heard was that the girl had died that night. They told their story to the woman who had attended her after her death, and on viewing the body, BOTH FEET WERE FOUND TO BE WEBBED!

A similar incident happened many years ago -
At Murray and Gibbs machine rooms one of the machine girls who had been home for some time with a fever, appeared to some of those who had been working their machines about midnight.
They, thinking that she was better, and was paying a visit, preparing to come in to work, were about to ask a question, when she disappeared as mysteriously as she appeared,and, on enquiring at the young girl's house next day, it was learned that she had died at that particular hour the night she had visited the machine room.
Many such stories could be given, but people are afraid that the relating of such would be ridiculed.
