Mount Pilatus.

In Switzerland the peak of Mount Pilatus is said to be haunted by the ghost of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Jerusalem. The story is told that Pilate was banished to the wild lands in the north of the Roman empire and came to this mountain, where he threw himself from a crag into a lofty lake. The ghost appears once a year in rhe formal robes of a Roman governor, and the person that sees it is doomed to die within the year.
