It's THPOO-ky
May. 15th, 2003 02:42 pmYay! Today I received the book I'd ordered through Amazon, called Gazetteer of Scottish Ghosts. My dad had this book in the '70s and I think it's been tossed because I haven't been able to find it the last few times I've visited Dad and Liz. It's an awesome book about spooky Scottish haints and such. And there's a ton about Glamis Castle, home of my ancestors.
(From the entry on Glamis Castle)...the everlasting blood-stain in King Malcom's room where Malcolm II was murdered in the eleventh century (no amount of scrubbing and cleaning would remove it so in the end the whole floor was boarded over!)...
and another entry,
Castle Douglas...
a couple of miles from here, on the Kelton Road, there is a little bridge that crosses a stream. This is Cuckoo Bridge and many years ago the body of a murdered baby was buried in the stream here. For years the sound of pitiful crying of an infant has been noticed by people crossing the bridge on moonlit nights and occasionally a pathetic little white shape, horrifying and hardly human, has been seen.
Spoo-ky!
