In particular Glasgow has been one of the toughest places to arrange events at the moment, which has led to them returning to places like Dundee and given them a chance to explore other places like Jedburgh Jail where they say they've had some of their most exciting events.

Green Lady of Fyvie, a ghost that supposedly wanders the corridors of Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland With over three decades of experience in the paranormal between them, they are keen to share their passion with others at these popular night time events. Located in the village of Roslin, this 500-year-old chapel has long been rumoured to be home to several spirits. But, observing battle protocol, he sent two Dominican friars to offer a reprieve for all past misdemeanours if Wallace and his comrades would surrender. "Tell your commander that we are here not to make peace but to do battle, to defend ourselves," was Wallace’s contemptuous reply. "Let them come on and we shall prove this in their very beards."Mary Queen of Scots came here with Lord Darnley in 1566, and the cradle in which their infant (later James V1 and 1st) slept is still on show in the room that they occupied. Bonnie Prince Charlie arrived during his 1745 campaign to reclaim the throne. The history of the ship itself makes it quite emotionally stained, which means it can be quite highly charged energy wise." Edward wasted little time in inflicting English administration upon the vanquished Scots and placed her affairs into the hands of two trusty lieutenants, William de Warenne and treasurer Hugh Cressingham. Sitting atop the column is a sculpture of a hand holding a large dagger and around it are seven severed heads. Anyone who drew water from it must immediately replace its covering stone the moment they had finished. Failure to do so would blight the lives of those who lived in the vale.

You’d expect a place with such a bloody and dramatic history to have more than its share of ghosts, and Culloden doesn’t disappoint. [10] Paranormal investigators have reported mysterious cold spots in places where Jacobites fell in large numbers. It is said that a Culloden drinking well called St. Mary’s Well is so haunted that its water is screaming with the voices of the restless dead. Thus, with one act of union, peace and prosperity could be maintained while Edwards ambition to unite the two countries could be satisfied. But they were ill equipped for their flight and found themselves at the savage mercy of the elements. Many were overcome by the bitter winter temperatures, or else floundered in the deep snows where they perished miserably on the unrelenting slopes. It is said that on his way to Invergarry castle, to present the heads to the chief of Clan MacDonald of Glengarry, Lom stopped at the spring to wash the heads to make them more presentable. In 2013, a tourist couple supposedly managed to photograph one of the White Hart Inn’s ghosts. [4] Although the bar manager doesn’t believe in the hauntings himself, even he admitted that the picture was very hard to explain. He also admits that many members of the staff have had odd encounters, and their cleaner has actually threatened to quit if he encounters any more unexplained phenomena.

The Stoor Worm 

Douglas was much respected in Scotland on account of his victories against the English. However, when King David 11 made Sir Alexander Ramsay sheriff of Teviotdale, the ruthless and envious Douglas lured the unfortunate Ramsay to Hermitage and imprisoned him in a "frightful pit or Dungeon, apparently airless and devoid of sanitation." Here he was starved to death, and his ghostly groans have echoed down the centuries ever since. The English, however, were not interested in such legal niceties and the result of the trial was a foregone conclusion. David McCabe is the lead medium and he is usually joined on the investigations by paranormal investigator and host Yvonne Hydes. Its soaring baronial walls are crowned by five majestic towers; each, so tradition claims, a monument to the five families – Preston, Meldrum, Seton, Gordon and Leith – who, over the centuries, helped create this spellbinding stronghold of rambling corridors and splendid rooms.

In some Scottish tales, the cows are replaced with deer, of which the glaistig is fiercely protective. [5] Also known as the Scottish goddess of the hunt, the glaistig was both help and hindrance to hunters, going so far as to hide her herds if the hunters made the mistake of killing a doe instead of a stag. [6] Occasionally, hunters would be granted permission to shoot if they provided an offering, such as the hind of the deer to the herder. [7] Another name of this instance is the Maiden of Callart. [8] The Green Lady [ edit ]The Earldom and estates passed to his son, Gavin, who in 1649 sold the house to the Hamiltons of Boggs, to pay his father's fine. On the night, those brave enough to be joining them will join David, Yvonne, and crew veterans like Roy Woolrich (who has 25 years experience) and historian Sheila Walsh to learn all about the history of this incredible ship. Have you ever broken anything?’ Or the most popular: ‘Have you ever seen a ghost?’ So with this article, in a way I’m hoping to answer those questions as succinctly as possible – ‘Not yet’ to the former and ‘I’m not sure’ to the latter. Edward’s army then swept northwards, inflicting a crushing defeat on Balliol’s army at the battle of Dunbar and capturing the ancient coronation stone, the Stone of Destiny, which was taken from Scone to Westminster Abbey. The glaistig is an ambivalent ghost that appears in legend as both a malign and benign creature. Some stories have her luring men to her lair via either song or dance, where she would then drink their blood. Other such tales have her casting stones in the path of travellers or throwing them off course.
