From heart-stopping accounts of apparitions, poltergeists and
related supernatural phenomena, to first-hand encounters with
phantoms and spirits, this collection of stories contains both new
and well-known spooky tales from around Stirling. A whole chapter
is dedicated to the mysterious goings-on at Stirling Castle, where
cleaners in the King's Old Building claimed to have heard footsteps
coming from the third floor - which hasn't existed since a fire in
the nineteenth-century; while a 1930s photograph purports to
capture the shadow of a phantom guardsman - possibly the same
'Highland Soldier' often reportedly mistaken by tourists for a
castle guide. The town itself has no shortage of fascinating tales,
including the story of the Old Town's most famous phantom,
seventeenth-century merchant John 'Auld Staney Breeks' Cowane,
whose spirit is said to inhabit his statue each Hogmanay. A playful
ghost supposedly throws pots and pans around the kitchens of the
Darnley Coffee House, while frequent power failures and mishaps in
the Tolbooth Theatre - originally the eighteenth-century Burgh jail
- are blamed upon the malicious spirit of the last man hanged, Alan
Mair. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, Haunted
Stirling is guaranteed to intrigue and chill both believers and
sceptics alike.
