Ghosts

In traditional belief, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely: The mode of manifestation can range from an invisible presence to translucent or wispy shapes, to realistic, life-like visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a séance.
The belief in manifestations of the spirits of the dead is widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-literate cultures. Certain religious practices—funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism and ritual magic—are specifically designed to appease the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life, though stories of phantom armies, ghost trains, phantom ships, and even ghost animals and numbers have also been recounted

The Location

Castle Menzies is a spectacular sixteenth century castle which was restored by the Menzies Clan Society. Seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 400 years and importantly situated, it was involved in the turbulant history of the Highlands. Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Stuart Pretender to the throne, rested for two nights in the Castle on his way to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The restoration of the ancient part of the castle involved the demolition of a greatly decayed 18th century wing. Architecturally fascinating, it is a splendid example of the transition between earlier rugged fortress and later mansion house.

The castle, like many other historical Scottish buildings, has been the subject of much in the way of past reported paranormal activity. These reports include activity in the form of a man shouting near the chief's bedroom, children heard laughing, whistling, footsteps, the wail of a cat, a boy seen running up and down the main stairs, a man spotted in the chiefs bedroom and three women in the meat cellar who do no seem particularly nice..... This is just a snippet of the reported paranormal activity that has occurred in Castle Menzies. Please join us for a night of paranormal investigation as we attempt to increase those reports!
