It's dificult to believe that Halloween with its goblins and witches is upon us already. But imagine a place where you can encounter ghosts and the paranormal every month. Due to it's somewhat bloody history, ghosts are not unusual in Scotland. However, they are positively commonplace in St. Andrews and the County of Fife.
"St. Andrews by the Northern Sea, that is a haunted town to me."
I'm sure you need convincing. How about the "ghost car" driven by a malevolent looking man that speeds down the "A7" causing reoccuring accidents? You need more don't you? Of course you do. There's always the assassinated Archbishop of St. Andrews, James Beaton, who rides down Strathkinness Road in a phantom coach drawn by four large horses. The murdered Prior who can be observed on moonlit nights watching over the Tower of St. Rules might convince you. The "white lady" would definately scare your hair straight. It's not unusual for this ghosty woman to run right through you by the square tower. I know I'm not making a strong case for you but name one other country who recognizes the Ghost Tracking profession. A few years ago, Amanda, our general manager at Monarchs House, saw a wee, ghoulish, girl at the foot of her bed.
See for yourself, visit St. Andrews. Have a ghoul on us. I would be curious to read any of your own ghost stories but until then, I remain,
Sleeping with the covers over my head.
Michael
ps: Do you think the running is making me hallucinate?
