If the /usr/share/sigil/hunspell_dictionaries directory is empty, then it would appear that the maintainers of the Sigil Ubuntu/Mint package(s) for Sigil are debundling the default dictionaries that are normally installed when building Sigil with the default settings.
I'm assuming, of course, that you installed Sigil from your software repository and didn't build Sigil yourself. Is the dictionary combobox (Sigil preferences) truly empty? If so, then they've probably opted to let Sigil use system-supplied hunspell dictionaries instead. At least I HOPE that's what they've configured Sigil to do. That's what we've provided Arch and Debian mechanisms to do.
If that's the case, you would just need to install the hunspell dictionaries you want from your distro's software management system.
apt-get install hunspell-en-us hunspell-en-gb
The location you indicated (in your home directory) is where additional user supplied dictionaries would go. If my above solution doesn't work, that is where you'll probably need to put the dictionaries someone else will need to tell you how to manually find/download.
