My ancestors came to America from Scotland .I am a McElyea and love finding your videos to learn history and the ghostly tales. Since a child i am now 71 i have always loved walking graveyards,guess that is part of Scotland i got. I am so proud of my lineage. After coming to America the other part of me is cherokee,very common for where the scotts settled in the day. My dad was named William Bruce McElyea. How scottish is that. 😊

I feel that the young woman who quickly & unexpectedly 1st became a Bride of Christ, and then further went on to mutilate herself: was fleeing from living in the world, the only way she could think of. I'm wondering what drove her to that choice. Was she sexually assaulted by someone unknown? A terrible crime, that provoked a horrifying response & yet... considering the times, her social standing, expectations of her purity (now destroyed) it makes sense. Sad & unnecessary. A tragedy for her, her promised young man, their families.

I feel that she needs help and needs to tell her story. That may be what she is trying to do but people run in fear and dont understand. It's sad. Something did happen to her. It doesnt make sense for her to suddenly do all of that.

@@eerieedinburgh Uhhh I’m from Moray we don’t have many ghost stories up here that I’m aware of. I remember hearing there’s a ghost down by the river lossie of a woman who uhhh….chose to stop there. And one of Elgin cathedral having one of some guy who died in the fire that The wolf of badnock started but honestly we don’t have many. I wish I could recommend others. I’m racking my Brain. Oh! Burghead has a good one, it’s more of an unusual occurrence than a ghost but the old graveyard there has a weird grave with like a hole in the stone, apparently if you put your ear up to it and tap a stone 3 times inside the hole if you hear a baby crying….uhhh I think you either are going to have a baby or are about to die(one or the other). You know now that I think about it more I can think of one more moray one, again I’d take what I say with a handful of salt since it’s probably all bullock and I probably getting these tales wrong. This is one is from the Dufftown area but it’s one I heard when I volunteered on the railway there, though maybe Bob was just winding me up(wouldn’t put it past him, former teachers have a weird sense of humour) but if I remember right there’s suppose to the be the ghost of a man who jumped to his death from the bridge.

@@eerieedinburgh I do know one of my own but it’s not moray. It’s from Iona. I volunteered there a few years back and had two strange experiences. It was Christmas morning of 2016, I was at the abbey using the Internet(I just lost track of time it was maybe 4am), I came out the abbey from the front and thought “I’m in trouble if anyone sees me” and then I saw someone up the track towards the visitor centre, it was someone clad all in white, I couldn’t tell ya if they were male or female but I was like “oh dear” so I walked towards them but they headed for the road, they weren’t on the road. It just didn’t make sense. So I dismissed it. I told a friend later that morning but he put it down to me being overtired. However I was back on Iona for 2017 for a longer period but about 3 weeks in, I was coming out of the abbey at 10pm it was my day off so I wasn’t even slightly tired and turned my head towards the old graveyard there was a figure in white again this time going from grave to grave. I called out to them because at 10pm no one was allowed in that graveyard by order of historic Scotland but the figure just kept walking. And rather stupid on my part, I decided to confront them so I ran along the path and got into the graveyard but as soon as I was in I couldn’t see the figure, they had no where to go but they weren’t there when I reached the graves. I even checked the graves id seen them. However i was seen in the graveyard by a fellow volunteer and had to explain why I’d gone In at the time no one was suppose to. Honestly I very weird experience. Iona was lovely but that story always sticks out to me as weird that the two events were so similar and yet I have no explanation.

Your videos are wonderful; you do an excellent job blending pictures, footage and narrative. I live in the U.S., and while we certainly have our share of hauntings and spirits, it doesn't come close to the disturbances that exist in Europe, where so many centuries of history leave layer after layer of ripples in the spiritual fabric. Particularly, I think, in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England, where the Celts more than left their mark on their own time and the generations that follow to this day. Please keep up the great work!

@@eerieedinburgh Yes, Salem would be lively. We have a series of old prisons and old asylums before there were laws governing the treatment of patients and prisoners. I have been in a number of them, and the horror of what went on there comes from the very walls, along with the spirits who reside there. I spent an entire night in a place called the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia. That was a night I will never forget. It is unbelievably haunted and has true darkness all through it.

There are a few notable and well known haunted locations in the States, and many have been explored by big name paranormal investigators. If you come over, I think you should try for a grand tour of haunted places. Salem and New Orleans are our most haunted cities. If money is an object, you could possibly find fans who could host you for a night or two. Just putting it out there. I’ve been to Edinburgh many years ago, and I’d love to do a ghost tour!

Just discovered your amazing channel and immediately subscribed! 😄 Being a big fan of folklore and ghost stories, and having been lucky enough to live in St Andrews for a wee while, I appreciated seeing some of the city's spookier tales. St Rule's Tower is surrounded by a more modern graveyard (including an intriguing golfer's gravestone) and pretty sure I saw something odd by the tower one winter's afternoon as I was out on a walk there 👻 Keep up the great work - Scotland has so much fascinating history and folklore!!

I do love St Andrews. Me, and my parents went on a ghost tour of St Andrews, when we had our last family trip to the town. It's a good thing that I studied at Glasgow Uni, rather than St Andrews Uni, because of the number of times I've walked over Patrick Harvey's initials. When I was really young, I used to go on donkey rides on the East Sands.

On my second or third watch of some of your videos :). I am amazed how many hauntings all through Europe have monks. Most seem benevolent. It doesn't surprise me at all in the U.K., after the actions of Henry VIII destroyed the catholic institutions and infrastructure. I am not as well versed in the rest of Europe. The reformation seems to have had lasting effects not just on the living, but on the dead - for centuries. Do you have any thoughts on this? I would love to hear your - and anyone else's - thoughts on this?

Yeah, i think you have a point and its not something i'd thought much about until i'd started looking a bit more in depth at the stories. I've always thought that monks are spiritual people, so more in tune with things but they have also been subject to some horrific treatment as you mention. So the potential for hauntings are there 🤷🏻‍♂️ its a good question. There are some less friendly spirits of monks out there, the black monk of 30 East Drive and the Hunderprest of Melrose are two i can think of. I'll do an episode featuring the Hunderprest soon, i love that story. Thank you for watching also, i really appreciate the support.
