‘I was awakened by a burning kiss…’

Scotland’s Ghastly Ghosts features some of the most gruesome, scary or just plain intriguing hauntings, from evil spirits, portents of death and skeletons buried under the floor to a phantom kiss, a spectral cannon ball and a ghost carving its name on a window sill. These are derived – where possible – from contemporary witness accounts.

‘…a female from which the head had been severed…’
