The Ghost of Glamis Castle and other true Scottish Ghost Stories (8, 300 word e-book short, around 45 minutes reading time).

In Scotland many stories have been told over the centuries of hauntings and other supernatural phenomena. Most are nothing more than folk tales — stories told around the fireplace to bring a shiver to the spine.

The stories in this e-book short, however, are different. Each is fact, backed by historical documents or contained in the many county and parish historical records.

The Ghost of Glamis Castle: For more than six hundred years Glamis in Forfarshire — one of Scotland’s oldest inhabited castles — has been the seat of the Earls of Strathmore. It was also the family home of the late Queen Mother and the birthplace of her daughter Princess Margaret. This formidable building has another claim to fame, however: as a scene of mysterious hauntings and the setting for events that remain secret to this day …

Other stories include: Mary King’s Close, The Lady Who Haunted George Street, The Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui, Pearlin' Jean, the ghost of Allanbank. Lady Stair (an unusual case of clairvoyance), and The Ghost of Hobkirk.
