I've said this before. The Withes are only significant because they have a sexy name, like the Graveyard. I doubt there are any more groundings there than many other places.
FWIW, in the sixties, Marine Patrol put a ring of orange barrels with whit reflectors all around the Witches, as a second barrier or double navaid. I guess they decided it didn't help as the barrels were removed a few years later. People routinely hit rocks north of Eagle Island, but we don't hear about it much because there is no sexy name.
