So, bear in mind this is town gossip, not word of God:
1. It's been some five years since some bodies started failing to return from their little burial ship rites.
2. The town folk don't know, but can only assume villainy, as is their wont. Probably these hags and harlots want to seduce the (dead) husbands of good, honest women and keep the dead women and children as their servants. They're good-for-nothings who dance covered in blood and do demonic work, you can only expect the worst.
