Scotland’s blessed – due to it’s extensive history – to be home to hundreds of Castles ranging from ancient ruins to stately homes and tourist attractions.
More so, we have an abundance of alleged hauntings, ghostly sightings and strange unexplainable phenomena within these national treasures.
Let’s look at six haunted Scottish castles that you can freely visit at any time…
Much of what I am about to say will fly in the face of conventional ways to research and investigate in the paranormal field.
Actually, some will even attempt to pour scorn on my suggestions and dismiss my approach as woo-woo, delusional or not important to consider.
Please keep in mind, there is absolutely no proper way to research the paranormal and being more ‘Scientific’ does not elevate you above anyone within this field of study.
Rupert Sheldrake explains in the following video why phenomena, classified as paranormal activity by most people, is not supernatural, but natural.
Before we watch this I would like to add a short pierce of information.
Activity – not including spirit & poltergeist – is perfectly normal phenomena that we have data on after full studies.
Just because we’ve not seen it on the mainstream news, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
There’s a fine line walked while sorting through the plethora of material gathered from witnesses and old accounts from times gone by.
Those who work within the paranormal genre, whether this be researchers, Investigators or observer, must ensure they only deal with the facts of each and every case.
But can we go too far and lose out on real paranormal activity and raw experiences?
As we all make those final preparations for the festive period, ready to indulge in The Spirits of Christmas, I thought it would be interesting to look at a different type of Christmas spirit.
Those who departed the physical, yet, still make themselves known during this time in Scotland.
There is no special time of day – or year – for activity of a spooky nature to transpire.
Paranormal activity will happen when it happens if it happens at all.
This is something I am careful to explain to people who join any event or public gathering that I’m working on.

We toured the country of Scotland throughout the year of 2015, conducting experiments and gathering material.
In addition, we also took part in some amazing festivals, working side by side with friends such as Barry Fitzgerald – formerly of Ghost Hunters International – and now acclaimed author and researcher into the nature of reality and her mysteries.
I start this inclusion with deep sadness at the news of Colin Fry passing away of Cancer at 3am on 25th August 2015.
He passed over peacefully in hospital, and I’m sure everyone will join me in sending respectful wishes to his family and friends at this time.
This then swings me into this website inclusion today, because yet again, in grief we’re met with adversity in the form of reductionist materialistic fame seekers and their ilk……
If ghosts are dead people, where do their phantom clothes come from.
It’s a very valid question, and may cause confusion in people who are genuinely interested in all things ghostly.
What about the clothes they are seen wearing, how can they be phantom clothes?
As we know, pictures speak a thousand words and when we view such we invoke our imagination to gain great insights, while also allowing the atmosphere of what’s being portrayed to surround us.
It’s a proven fact that each one of us are unique in the way we gather information.
Some of us prefer to read, while others are more visual with a desire for video or perhaps images.
Let us not forget those of us who like to use our hearing sense, or perhaps we like to feel the information, as strange as that will sound to some.
The following are 10 location shots of Haunted Places in Scotland, to allow you to satisfy the visual aspect of information gathering, what do you feel while viewing them…..
Haunted Scotland’s Raison D’êtreThis actual question was posed to me lately during a meeting, where I was asked what this whole thing entails. In other-words, what is Haunted Scotland’s Raison D’être – ‘reason for being’ – and what is the thrust of the forward movement to be here.
Some seem to think it’s a company, much like the fantastic tour companies that operate in places such as Edinburgh or our friends at History & Horror Tours in Perth. I’m afraid that is rather wide of the mark, and I have no skills in such areas either.
