      Personally, in my own experience and ‘investigations’, it’s demons not ghosts that people are experiencing. Demons and angels are around all of us, all of our lives….they know us better than anyone. So when a person dies and people think that they are seeing their deceased loved one, yes, and no. Yes, I believe that your loved one will still be here for a short time after the funeral….and no, demons are impersonating your loved one after that…..trying to entice you to get closer to it, or open portals by having seances, etc. They know everything about your loved one and are great impersonators. Be careful.

    Our grandson was about 7, one day he was playing and out of the blue he told he’s mother that nanna Ada ( maternal great grandmother) was at the door, she went to the door and there wasn’t anyone there, as she closed the door the phone rang and she got the news that Ada had just passed away. She asked her son about seeing Ada, and he said she came to say goodbye. Ada lived 600 kilometres away.🇦🇺

      I also have had a similar thing happen. Neighbour had had heart-attacks, and then was in hospital for quite some time. One evening, footsteps, sound was clear as a whistle, unmistakable, I said a prayer to forgive him and then never heard it again. Next morning neighbour's family told me he passed away that evening, and it was like I got told by a spirit before they were told by the hospital.

      My great grandmother had 8 children. The eldest, John, when he was 20, one day went to work. About an hour later he came back, my great gran thought, to fetch something he'd forgotten. She saw him at the kitchen door, and asked him why he was back home. He just looked at her and disappeared from her sight. She thought," that's odd"! Then later she was told by police that he had been in an accident on his bike and had been killed. He came back to say goodbye to her! This was around 1910. I still have the Christening robe that was handmade for him, and all my 3 children and 5 grandchildren have been baptised in it!! Myself too and mom plus many cousins .

    My Dad had just died and my sister and I, who had just been to the hospital in Dundee, Scotland, were sitting in Dads house. My sister was doing a lot of talking, mainly woe is me and how bad her life was at that time, I just listened to her talk not really focused, when all of a sudden I felt this warm energy come through the back of my neck and my voice speaking to her, but it wasn't me, 'Dad said not to worry and he is sending his love to you now' as I said that I felt the warm energy leave me through my left side and flow over to her, she had stopped talking , understandably, and as I looked at her saying the message she recoiled into her seat holding her stomach saying ' OMG I felt that'. I kid you not. Sounds daft talking about it here but it happened. There is much more to the world that we can't see.

    An addition to that story Neil: My mother had a very disturbing dream the night before she and three of us, her children were due to go to Skye from Inverness the following day. In this nightmare she had a feeling of "being overwhelmed by water". It was so disturbing that we did not go the following day as had been planned. The next day we heard of the tragedy at Kyleakin. A premonition?

    I believe I owe my wife's life to a supernatural intervention. Just before we were to be married we had a few relationship problems... It looked like we would split up. My wife took it very badly and was planning to take her own life. Whilst preparing to do so she became aware of a lady in white with long dark hair standing by the wall of her bedroom. She said she could not see her feet only the skirting board. After a few moments looking at each other the lady said "Everything will be alright." And faded away... Now after 43 years of marriage I tend to agree and give thanks...

    My dad had incurable cancer and came home to live out his last months. He had suffered a lot in life, had pains since childhood, but was a kind and thoroughly decent man, with a great sense of humour. When he passed away, I had an intense feeling of happiness come over me - not from me, but as though it was like in the air almost. I never said anything because it seemed so inappropriate to say I felt this, and I was of course deeply saddened to lose him. But when his McMillan Nurse arrived later, she spoke to my sister. A few days passed, when my sister told me, that the Nurse, a lovely level headed woman, mentioned to her, that as she was driving up the little road to our house, she just knew my Dad was gone, and she experienced what she described as an uplifting happy feeling.

      This happened to me when I lost the love of my life. Its a feeling that's hard to describe. You are so overcome by grief that your rational mind can't understand where this euphoria is coming from but you can't rationalise it. It's like you have been gathered into a soft cloud of unconditional love.
      It has seriously changed my life. I know there is something else to come after this.

Well, I got to my knees & prayed for my mother. Four hours later my father phoned me to say my mother had passed away at 3:00am that morning. They lived 2000 miles away. I had never heard voices before or afterwards.

    This reminds me of a more modern story. One evening a number of motorists on the A3 in Guildford called the emergency services to report they had witnessed a car accident, spotting its headlights leaving the road erratically at speed. Police went to investigate, and discovered the car in undergrowth, its deceased drivers remains at the wheel. But the strange thing is the driver and car had been reported missing exactly a year before. True story!

    My dad told a story about an uncle of his, Uncle Mick. He was a drinker and a gambler and would have started a fight with his shadow as my dad put it. After a night of playing cards drinking and fighting, Mick was walking home and walked through a field with a footpath which lead to the back of Micks house. Half way across Mick knew and felt he was being followed, not by a person but by a spiritual entity. Mick in fear started to run and he ran right up to the door never to look back, right at the last moment before opening the door he turned and threw the pack of cards he had into a small swirling tornado like fire and it burst into thin air. Uncle Mick stopped the lifestyle he lead and became a born again Christian.

    Spirit comes to those with need. I visited my gran in hospital before heading down to Newcastle with my girlfriend. It was a lovely visit where she imparted advice. On driving away, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I would be the last time I’d see her. She died that night. My mother got a call in the very early hours from my gran but dad didn’t wake and mum thought it was a dream until the hospital called to say she’d died. 2 of my sisters woke to a warm light at the bottom of their bed but their husbands didn’t wake. My other sister who didn’t like my gran at all, had no visit. I had no visit as I needed none, we had said goodbye. Life is wonderful, even the bad parts but I’m aware there’s far more going on than we see/feel.

    Reminds me of a similar experience I had, although there was no tragedy involved.
    I was staying at a friend's house, a remote farmhouse, when I woke in the night and heard a vehicle drive down the track and pull up in the farmyard in front of the room I was in. Her father and brothers had gone to pick up a new bullock and I decided to look out of the window to see it. There was nothing there. About half an hour later I heard the same thing, but this time they were actually returning with the bullock.
    I mentioned it to my friend who said quite casually 'oh yes, I forgot to tell you, that always happens when dad goes out - we always hear him come back about half an hour before he actually gets here'

    A few months before my mum died, we, my sister and brothers, cared for her at her apartment. She had a little bell she would use when she needed assistance for the bathroom and general things. After she died, one of our cousins and his wife rented the apartment for a few months whilst waiting for their new home to be built. My sister and I went to visit them and Adam told us that several times during their first weeks there, they heard the sound of a little bell...so we told them of the bell mum used.

One Sunday night as they were about to leave her mother was helping the male friend on with his coat and as she did so she had a sudden urge to give him an almighty hug, (Which came as a big shock to everyone , especially the guy in question) then as they closed the front door she burst into tears and said "I'm never going to see him again!"

The haunted places in Scotland are amazing and absolutely fascinating. And yes, I'm an Englishman. First visit in 1990, drove up from Derby to Oban on the Saturday, and the next day and all the following week, the weather was glorious. Wonderful place. And the many tales of hauntings make it so much more than simply scenery.

    I was a kid when I started seeing and knowing things others didn’t. I thought everyone else was like me. Didn’t take long to realize I was different. My grandma explained that it’s second sight. Apparently it passed to me from both grandmothers. Scared the crap outta me when I knew someone was about to die. I also got omens before disasters. The premonitions bothered me most. I also had visionary dreams that would happen within 3 days.
    Say what you will, ghosts are real. Too many encounters to list here. I’m American and have traced family to Perthshire and other Scottish places as well as Ulster Scots. I would love to see Scotland someday though I doubt I ever could. I try to keep an open mind about stories and other peoples experiences. Perhaps the scientists will prove someday that dimensions of time coexist and occasionally overlap. Until then, I wish you blessings in this new year and love and laughter in your life, ❤ Brenda P

    couple lads in our fishing syndicate were night fishing an old estate lake and one decided to nip into town to get some grub . He was quite a while coming back and said to his mate he had met the farmers wife on the estate and had been chatting to her. When the farmer came by in the morning to ask how the fishing was the lad mentioned how he had been speaking to his wife the previous night. The farmer then told him his wife had been dead for some years....

    I am of Scottish descent, and my grandmother was said to have something of the 'second sight'. I never heard any specific stories from her. But - if the second sight skips a generation (as I have heard said) - my eldest sister has had some incidences of what might be called second sight.
    Most definitely was on one day, when she was at university in Cape Town. This was in the mid-1970s when her boyfriend (and future husband) was an officer in the Rhodesian African Rifles. The Rhodesian Bush War was underway. My sister, while about 2000 km from Rhodesia, was talking to a friend when she suddenly had a crystal clear vision of one of her boyfriend's best friends - another officer in the RAR, whom she had met and liked - lying on his back, shot in several places, and dead.
    It turns out the friend, Norman, was killed in a terrorist ambush at about that moment. My sister could even say where he had been shot, as was confirmed later.
    I don't understand such things. But, from my sister's experience... there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt in our philosophy.

    Please do a video on The Ghost Of Montrose. It is perhaps one of Scotland's most famous hauntings.
    Interestingly incoming RAF personnel were given a lecture on what to expect, so common were the sightings. A couple of RAF Regiment personnel fled their post one night in WW2 on the apparition's appearance. Their Commanding Officer refused to have them charged. Deserting your post is a pretty serious offence, the more so in war time.

    in the early 2000s i was riding my brand knew Vespa in the afternoon. i was a good two minutes away from a set of traffic lights and at the end of the road lays a road junction joining onto another road. being a good two minuets before i rode upto the set of lights something externally came into my mind saying very clearly don't pass the green light. when i reached the set of lights i was first one up to the light with cars queuing right behind me waiting for the light to turn green.
    when the green light turned on i moved gingerly forward moving only 3 yards and stopped well before i crossed over into the other section of road. i waited momentarily even though i had clear right of way to move forward. i took note of the warning i received earlier and waited a few seconds when to my left was an early 1980s bmw being driven by a driver concentrating on his phone more that where he was going.
    on his side of the road he drove though a red light to my left. now if i had not listened to that warning intended for that moment in time i would have ended up under thee wheels of an early 1980s bmw considering at the junction vehicles movements on the left side of the junction are concealed from view by the way the road is designed. meaning you can only see cars movements on the right and not the left. so something that day really saved me without any doubt.

      Fascinating. Thanks for sharing that.
      In 2009 I was driving south on a 4-lane freeway (I-5) in Tacoma. It was raining. I was catching up with a semi truck that was in the lane on my right. I suddenly heard a voice in my head say "DON'T PASS THAT TRUCK." So I let off the accelerator pedal and stayed behind the truck. Less than 10 seconds later that truck began to jack-knife after he slammed on his brakes to avoid rear-ending a car that had suddenly slowed in front of him. The trailer he was pulling swung into my lane -- where I would have been had I not slowed down. Then the trailer swung to the right, pushing a car off the freeway and into a sloping grassy embankment where it experienced a hard landing but came to rest relatively unharmed. Had I not slowed down when warned, I would have been pushed to the left into the Jersey barrier at 60 mph, or possibly over the barrier into oncoming traffic. In any case, it's likely I would have been severely injured or killed.
      A few years later I was reading a book called "Hello From Heaven!" by Bill Guggenheim. There is an account in that book that is almost identical to my experience. I was amazed.
      These kinds of incidents occur more frequently than we assume. Like NDE's, a lot of experiencers have learned to keep quiet because of the ridicule they are subjected to by mean-spirited skeptics.

    Events which turn out to be traumatic move like waves before it. I had dreams of accidents 6 yrs before they happened. Or, looking at a building and knowing that it was going to come down as when I saw the Twin Towers. That morning I dreamed that I was flying in a circle around the towers. I woke to a phone call from a friend saying that a plane had flown into the building. Later on, I saw footage of the plane circling the tower before it struck. When something is very big, many people feel it, see it, and dream about it. I am not surprised. This story confirms what I have known for many years.

    Wow, what a great story. My life has been filled with things like this. My mother's, too. She drove the same road to and from work every day, and would pass a line of dying trees, sitting close to the road. She often had visions and fears of the trees falling. After years of these visions, she and all of her work mates were let out of work early for the coming holiday weekend. As she sat at a red light on that road, a tree fell on her car. Luckily it caught the phone lines on the way down and only smashed the back half. She was unharmed but very shaken, and her car totaled. She does not drive that road anymore.

    Great story thank you. We bought an old property two years ago to restore, the property dates back to 1640. The property hadn't been lived in previous to us for at least 8 years. The second night we were there we heard someone or something whistling a tune quite clearly, it just abruptly stopped. Since that night over these past two years during the day and in the middle of the night we have heard footsteps, whispering, humming/singing. We have also heard the sound of two females chatting but always faint and difficult to make out what is actually being said ! We had a friend call round one bright summers day , while they enjoyed a cuppa they suddenly jumped and turned round sharply, when asked what was wrong they said they heard two people walking up behind them chatting away, the strange thing is three other people were all there and none of us heard it ! The property is isolated but nevertheless has the most wonderful warm feeling. Before experiencing this first hand, had someone told me they were experiencing this phenomena, I would have thought yea sure vivid imagination !

      My brother and sister-in-law bought an old house in Nova Scotia. I came to visit for a week one summer and because they were rather young and newly married, they didn't have much furniture. I slept in the guest bedroom which consisted of a futon on the floor and nothing else.
      I went to bed one night and started drifting off to sleep when I heard/sensed that something was being placed on the pillow beside me. The house was quite rural and there was no outside light coming in. The room was pitch black and I could see nothing. I quickly sat up thinking it was a rat that was running around the room, but then I felt "pressure" on my cheek as I sat there on the futon. It wasn't warm nor cold, just pressure. Well, I almost jumped out of my skin and I rushed the light switch and fumbled to find it. Eventually I switched it on. As you would suspect, nothing was there. I did sleep with the light on the rest of the night.
      Well, a year passed and I started to rationalize it away, the pressure was probably a weird muscle spasm, it was also incredibly dark and I was drifting off to sleep so it could have been my mind playing tricks on such a quiet and sensory deprived situation.
      However, that following summer my mother and her friend were babysitting in my brother's house. My mother was in the master bedroom and her friend was in the guest room with the futon.
      One night my mother awoke hearing her friend screaming. The same thing happened to my mother's friend, although this time she felt someone slip under the blanket with her. According to how it felt against her body, she believed it was the size of a child.
      I'm now a believer that there is something we really don't understand about the nature of reality. Is it lost souls, travelling to other dimensions, echoes of other people's memories, who knows, but something is going on.
      Also, I'm wondering whether the Scots, living and the dead, are genetically predisposed to "participate" in the supernatural.

But it happened : an old somewhat confused man rang the doorbell , wanted to phone a taxi to take him home . He was let in , after asking where he had to go , it became apparent he was no more than 200 yards from the "old peoples home" where he lived . I gave directions , no need for a taxi , that was it . When I later told mother in law the old confused man she'd spoken about had indeed come to the door , she remembered nothing , insisted she had never told me such thing .

At first I thought it was someone playing games by turning their lights off, but even if they had done that we would still have been able to see them because we were near street lights, and my passenger was watching, plus there was no turn offs.

The pirates would kidnap children from bars and streets and drug them, taking them through the tunnels to their ships for use as sex slaves or cabin boys. The cabin boy in Robert Louis Stevenson's "Kidnapped" is one. This tunnel is open to the public for a fee and is scary as hell.

    There's been some work done on alleged hauntings. Apparently a lot of them happen near water (rivers, lakes, underground/buried streams). Water has some kind of recording effect, leading to images being replayed at other times.
    I find the possibility of a physical cause for ghost sightings absolutely fascinating.

    Me and my dad were on the rannoch moor in the early nineties and were walking to the loch to fish. We were sitting having a hot tea after walking and an older looking guy wearing old thick green trousers, a black wool buttoned up coat and a bunnet, appeared and asked if we had passed his friend. He looked really old. We said sorry, no and he only said, alright then, in a proper highland accent and walked away. He looked like a ghost from the past. We talked to each other and agreed that we never saw where he came from. About a minute later, we stood up and looked in the direction in which he walked away. He was gone. Disappeared. 😮 Anyone who has been on rannoch moor knows that its flat. No trees. Nowhere to hide. Very few walkable paths.We never saw where he came from and where he went. There was NOWHERE to hide. We got out of there fast as fuk.

    It was so real I never thought to think it may be a ghost ship . So real I felt I could have jumped in and manned it myself . It wasn’t until passing it and moving forward did I realise what I had just seen ?

    Until Neil Oliver mentioned it I hadn't realised that he is Scottish 😲😳🤣🤣👍✌️💜
    I've heard of the black car - there are other similar cases, it's a bit like the fictional "The Signalman" (Charles Dickens) in many ways. Then there's the numerous time slip stories such as the infamous one from near to the town of Montelimar, France.
    As an aside. When my dad was driving in Scotland (late 1970s/early 1980s) for work, up hill and down dale, with lots of dips in the road, he and his buddy (a colleague and trusted family friend) saw a lady in "1800s costume" walking across the road from farm to field (opposite). When they got to the spot the farm was derelict, and there was no one in the field.
    When they got to their digs, the next pub, later that evening they recounted their story to the landlord and he basically said "oh so you've seen her too - many travellers have".
    I don't think it was an intelligent haunting per se, but more akin to an action replay a memory, a tape, playing over and over. Certain types of stone in buildings (especially quartz/lime stone), also certain types of rock strata, capture repetitive acts, or great anguish, such as battles - Gettysburg springs to mind (although at Gettysburg there are intelligent hauntings too).
    Then there's the question of time itself and whether or not it's truly linear.
    The quantum of the possible, all things in the universe are thus possible.
    It has to be remembered that our eyes can only see very specific ranges of light and similarly our ears can only hear certain frequencies. Animals likewise but different frequencies. Perhaps like a radio from time to time we can "tune" into other worlds and times?

    I had a premonition of the Granville Train Accident in 1977. Granville is a suburb of Sydney. It was a warning to stay away from the area. Why? That hot January morning of the accident, my older brother dropped me off at Parramatta station to catch the train into Sydney, and a friend was going to catch the same train at Strathfield and join me on the way in. I caught the very train BEFORE the Mountain’s train that killed 86 passengers. I stood amongst some of those passengers who were later killed by the collapsed bridge. I survived because I caught the train before the Mountain’s train. I was only 16 at the time. My ‘dream’ showed me a man walking along a train track that ran under a bridge, he was carrying a box of small dolls. Suddenly the tracks parted and he fell down between the train tracks. It was followed by the most horrendous crash I ever heard. On the wall near the bridge tunnel was a graffitied date, but I couldn’t read it no matter how hard I tried. But I definitely had a feeling to ‘stay away!’. That dream occurred in September 1976. The Granville Accident was 18th of January 1977. It was also my friend’s birthday!

    My mum told us about a similar story with her cousin Rena, who was married for a long time to a man called Bill who every Sunday enjoyed going out fishing on his motorcycle with a friend. On this particular Sunday they were travelling to the turning point that led to the river when suddenly a black car appeared out of nowhere and drove very fast towards them, they managed to swerve to avoid it. But stopped after to say what a crazy driver that was. However oddly enough they couldn’t find the turning in the road after that and ended up coming home and told Rena about the experience. Bill then sold his bike and bought a car, but a year later, he decided to buy another motorcycle and take a trip to go fishing again. Sadly he lost his life in a car crash around the same spot they had seen the black car a year earlier. However this isn’t the end of the story, because after his funeral Rena was at home with her son and daughter in law in the sitting room when they heard a key in the latch and the front door opening and the familar sound of Bill’s hob nail boots walk down the hallway. The cat who had been asleep in the living room quickly got up and went to the door and began hissing, when they opened the living room door there was no one there, but the cat ran outside through the front door. The son and his wife went off to look for the cat, but Rena stayed there believing it was Bill who had come back to say a final goodbye.

    Oddly, my father has had some peculiar experiences himself, and all in Scotland (He's an Edinburgh man) the strangest being when he stayed with his schoolfriend in North Berwick in the early 2000s. It was at a complex of sheltered accommodation and, when the doorbell rang, you could see who was on your doorstep via a screen. If there was nobody there there was just a view of a wall and the door opposite.
    One day there the doorbell rang and my dad looked at the screen to see who was there, but instead of a person and the usual view of the housing complex, there was instead an image of the high street with cars and people moving. My father stared at it, interested because the cars were ones he remembered from his childhood. He called his friend who also saw the image. After about a minute Dad switched everything off and on again and the image returned to normal.
    Later Dad stood outside and realised that the image is exactly what would have been visible before the houses had been built. He still swears it was North Berwick more like it was in his youth.

      Two weeks before 7/7 attacks.

      I could see myself watching the national lottery show.
      I saw the number 7 with the animated ring around it..just the number 7.
      I got all excited thinking I was going to win something.

      @mind5403 yep - I’m just making that up for the hell of it. And my mother was a liar - thanks bud. I can’t remember the exact details ( she’s passed on a while ago ) but I can assure you my mother wasn’t lying. So fuck off

      @mind5403 First of all; you realize you are accusing my mother of being a liar; which she was not. Secondly; there are such things as small, family run hotels. And yes; I don’t have all the details; and my mother passed on a while ago so I can’t inquire with her. However - she told us the story a couple of times; and each time she looked unsettled by it/ she said she was there while the priest blessed the place and she felt very uncomfortable during the process. So regardless of what you think; something did happen- oh yes - she also said the priest was very matter of fact about the whole thing; as perhaps there had been some disturbances there prior to my Mother’s stay.

    Fascinating.. my mother saw a small white boy aged about 4 yrs old sitting in a tree about 2am staring at her. The tree in a garden of an old children's home..also witnessed by the taxi driver who brought her home..when she got home she woke me up as she was absolutely petrified.

    This story reminds me of a childhood holiday. My mother's family were crofters from the Isle of Harris. We would spend our summer holidays at the family croft which was situated by the shore. My maternal great grandmother used to live in a house about two hundred meters up the hill. It was a burnt out ruin when i was there, but one day i asked some innocent question and my gran's face turned white before she composed herself and regaled the following story. Her husband, my grandfather had been out in his boat, setting nets when he looked up to see said house on fire, he immediately returned to shore and ran up the hill to help out etc. When he got to the house the place was fine, no sign of fire gutting the place. This happened again, with the same results. He returned to shore, ran up the hill, but there was no sign of any fire. Not long after said house was completely gutted by fire, fortunately my great grand parents escaped but everything was destroyed. My grandmother was visably shaken when she told this tale and my grandfather refused to speak of it again.

    I’m American with Scottish heritage. My grandfather, my father, his sister, myself, and three of my daughters have so many stories of our experiences with Second Sight, from having our lives saved to just knowing things. I wonder what there is about Scottish heritage that contributes to it. My heritage is through the Taylors of the Highlands, a sept of the Cameron Clan.
