Ghosts

A note from one of Richard’s tours,
plus some of the latest encounters in St Andrews

 

With over 200 haunted locations in St Andrews and over 400 ghosts, St Andrews for its size is one of the most haunted locations to be found anywhere.

In all the years of research the following is one of the more unusual…

In 2016 a family came on a tour and spoke of an experience they had one summer afternoon some ten years before on a visit to St Andrews. 

While wandering through the Cathedral ruins their young son ran up to a grave and began laughing and playing. He then ran up to another and did the same thing. He did this around four different graves.

His parents read the inscriptions on the graves he’d been playing around, they were the graves of children. He was too young to read, and the graves of children in the grounds are not easy to find.

 

The following is very small snapshot of paranormal experiences. A lot more has happened since.
