In the summer of 1958, something strange stirred in a Glasgow tenement.

Three American students, renting a modest flat on Gibson Street, began experiencing something they couldn’t explain - and would never forget. It started with faint, indistinct voices echoing through empty rooms. Then came the sudden crashes, the faulty radio playing on its own, and the sense that they were not alone.

This was no ordinary haunting.

In this episode, we uncover the account of the Gibson Street poltergeist - a case that left its mark on those who lived through it. But the story doesn’t end there. More than a decade later, a climber named Phil MacNeill would encounter something deeply disturbing at a remote Highland bothy - only to return home to neighbouring 39 Gibson Street and discover the nightmare wasn’t over. A hidden trapdoor. A strange, newspaper-lined chamber beneath the kitchen. And a name that links it all.

Hidden deep within a wooded glen near Kilmacolm stands the forgotten ruin of Duchal Castle - a fortress steeped in stories of siege, scandal, and something darker. 

In this episode, we uncover the chilling legend of the Black Robe: a ghostly monk said to haunt the castle’s crumbling walls, watching, waiting, and confronting those who dare enter its halls.

From historical battles and royal intrigue to whispers of ancient rites and supernatural confrontations, this is more than just a ghost story - it’s a tale of power, guilt, and a haunting that refuses to fade.

Somewhere between Gretna and Annan lies a stretch of road that has terrified drivers for decades. Apparitions on the verge. A phantom woman in black. A spectral coach hurtling through the night. And, most chilling of all, a silent procession of pale, tattered figures crossing in the dark.

In this episode, we dive into one of Scotland’s strangest and most persistent ghost stories: the hauntings of the A75. Drawing on real witness accounts from as far back as the 1950s and as recently as the 2000s, we explore what might lie behind the road’s reputation as a hotspot of uncanny encounters.

Are these residual echoes of the past? Warnings? Or something else entirely?

What if a loved one appeared to you at the very moment they died – even though they were miles away?

In this episode, we explore the eerie and emotional world of crisis apparitions – ghostly encounters from Edinburgh that occurred at the precise moment of a death, accident, or major trauma. These aren’t your typical hauntings. They’re intimate, fleeting, and often deeply personal.

We’ll delve into chilling historical cases, uncanny modern reports, and the theories that attempt to explain them – from the paranormal to the psychological. Are these messages from the beyond, or echoes of the human mind under stress?

Join me as we step into a space where time bends, and the dead say goodbye.

On a quiet farm in 1695, something woke in the night.

The spirit that plagued the Mackie family in Rerrick was relentless, calculated, and cruel.

It bore striking similarities to a more famous case across the sea—Tennessee’s infamous Bell Witch.

But this haunting came a century earlier.

And it spoke with a voice that could be heard by all.

Some called it a poltergeist. Others whispered of witchcraft.

This is the chilling true account of the Rerrick Poltergeist—Scotland’s forgotten Bell Witch.

A story of fear, faith, and something that refused to remain unseen.

Durham is a city steeped in centuries of history, but its past is not always quiet. In this episode, I share the chilling experiences shared with me by Hannah, a former bar worker who encountered something unseen while working in some of Durham’s most historic pubs. From eerie footsteps in empty rooms to a ghostly child watching from the doorway, these are the hauntings that pub staff never forget.

The ghosts of Durham’s inns and taverns don’t just exist in folklore—they are still felt today by those who work behind the bar, lock up at night, and spend the small hours alone in these ancient buildings.

Perched on the windswept coast of Caithness, the Castle of Mey is steeped in history, royal connections, and ghostly legend. Once a fortress for the Sinclair clan, then a cherished retreat of the Queen Mother, this striking stronghold has seen centuries of life, loss, and mystery. Eerie tales of spectral figures and unexplained encounters have been reported through the years.

In this episode, we delve into the castle’s origins, its place in Scotland’s royal history, and the chilling encounters said to have taken place within its walls. 

Does something unseen still walk the halls of the Castle of Mey?

After a short break, I’m back with a brand-new video, and I hope 2025 is treating you well so far!  

This time, we’re heading to Ballindalloch, a place where history lingers in every stone, and the ghosts seem far too attached to ever leave. Over the years, there have been accounts of ghostly figures drifting through the halls, eerie encounters that send shivers down the spine, and a presence that suggests some spirits still consider this home.  

In this episode we explore the hauntings, legends, and mysteries woven into this fascinating location.

In this episode, we explore a Christmas haunting from 1887 on Rutland Street, Edinburgh. 

Dr. W.A. Jamieson's unncanny encounter with a mysterious, yet familiar apparition is one of the city's lesser-known ghost stories, but it’s one that still fascinates those who know of it. Join us as we explore the history and details of this eerie tale.

Thank you so much for all your incredible support throughout the year - it truly means the world to me. 

I hope you enjoy this wee story and had a wonderful Christmas and are ready for an exciting year ahead - lang may yer lum reek!

This week, we venture into the haunted halls of Abergeldie Castle, a stunning fortress found in the heart of Deeside, Scotland. With centuries of history etched into its walls, Abergeldie is more than just a relic of the past—it’s a place where legend and tragedy collide.  

At the heart of the castle’s story is the tale of French Kate, a 16th-century servant accused of witchcraft and executed on the nearby Creag nam Ban. Her ghost is said to haunt the castle’s cellars and clock tower, with countless reports of strange sightings and unexplained sounds adding to her legend.  

We’ll explore the dark history of Abergeldie Castle, from its role in rebellious times to the shadow French Kate has cast over its halls. 

For those fascinated by witchcraft trials, I highly recommend Contagious Enemies: First-hand Accounts from the Aberdeen Witch by Dee Lawlor. It’s a gripping exploration of Scotland’s witchcraft history that provides valuable context to stories like Kate’s. If you’re drawn to tales where history and the supernatural intertwine, this is one you won’t want to miss.
