Donald Angus MacLean is a weathered but spry eighty-year-old whose home is on the Isle of Skye in Northern Scotland. In a place that values its local eccentrics, MacLean is proud to be a local character, widely regarded as the best storyteller in town and always on the search of a new tall tale to spin. MacLean is something of an amateur paranormal researcher and he often meets with townsfolk who claim to have "second sight" -- the ability to see ghosts and anticipate events before they happen. While some regard MacLean and his friends as harmless but removed from reality, the storyteller himself would beg to differ, and he and his pals tell their tales of bushes with the supernatural with a passion and detail that might make you think twice. Filmmaker Alison McAlpine gives MacLean and his buddies a chance to tell their stories and share their belief about the ghosts that lurk among the moors of the Isle of Skye in the documentary Second Sight. Second Sight was an official selection at the 2008 London International Documentary Festival.
