On the southern edge of Edinburgh, Comiston looks like any other quiet residential suburb. But beneath its pavements, paths, and housing estates lies a much older story - one filled with prehistoric burial sites, lost landscapes, folklore, and a figure that has been reported for over a century.

The White Lady of Comiston is a woman in pale clothing, seen along the same route, across different generations.

From Robert Louis Stevenson’s 19th-century account, to the school sighting in 1965, and later reports in the 1980s, the White Lady of Comiston has appeared across generations along the same route.

Listen to learn her story.

Tucked away in a remote village in Jämtland, Borgvattnet Vicarage has been linked to unexplained activity for nearly a century. From ghostly figures and sudden chills to diary entries from clergy who lived there and couldn’t explain what they saw.

In this episode, I explore the history behind one of Sweden’s most well known hauntings.

From phantom footsteps to attacks on Priests, in this episode you'll find out why this was once described as the "Most Haunted House in Sweden"

Also, apologies in advance for the pronunciation of Swedish names - I tried!

Not all Christmas ghost stories have frightening apparitions or ghostly chaints rattling.

Sometimes these stories begin with something simpler — a sound beneath a room, figures moving across a field, or a moment that only makes sense later on.

In this Christmas episode, I explore two Scottish Midwinter hauntings recorded in the nineteenth century, both linked to Christmas and both rooted in firsthand experience rather than folklore built up over time.

The first takes place at the historic Cortachy Castle, where guests and travellers reported hearing unexplained drumming during the Christmas period - a sound the Airlie family believed appeared only when a death in the family was approaching.

The second comes from the Highlands, where villagers spoke of figures seen playing games in the snow near a parish church on Christmas Day, returning year after year as part of a story tied to a specific place and a long-remembered transgression.

Thank you for spending part of your Christmas here, and for supporting the channel throughout the year.

Lang may yer lum reek.
