Scottish Ghost Stories

Beschreibung

Step into the misty glens, ancient castles, and windswept moors of Scotland-where the veil between the living and the dead is whisper-thin. In Scottish Ghost Stories, renowned paranormal investigator and author Elliott O'Donnell delves into chilling tales of the supernatural drawn from the haunted history and rich folklore of the Scottish Highlands and beyond. This gripping collection gathers eerie accounts of vengeful spectres, mysterious apparitions, cursed lairds, phantom pipers, and ghostly women in white. Each story, told with O'Donnell's trademark blend of vivid narrative and investigative curiosity, transports readers into encounters where shadow and silence conceal secrets of centuries past. More than mere folklore, these tales are woven with cultural insight and historical texture-bringing to life the uniquely Scottish atmosphere of superstition, legend, and second sight. O'Donnell doesn't simply relay ghost stories; he explores them, often drawing on eyewitness reports and his own experiences as a noted ghost hunter. Whether you are a lover of the macabre, a student of the paranormal, or a curious traveller of haunted lands, Scottish Ghost Stories offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of Scotland's spectral legacy. Read it by candlelight... if you dare.

Autor

Elliott O'Donnell was an English author who lived from February 27, 1872, to May 8, 1965. He was best known for writing books about ghosts. When he was five years old, he said he saw a ghost that looked like an elemental figure with spots on it. He also said that a strange ghost had strangled him in Dublin, though the wounds did not seem to have been lasting. He was born in England in Clifton, which is near Bristol. His parents were Reverend Henry O'Donnell (1827 1873), who was Irish, and Elizabeth Mousley (n e Harrison), who was English. He had three older brothers named Henry O'Donnell, Helena O'Donnell, and Petronella O'Donnell. The Rev. Henry O'Donnell went to Abyssinia after the birth of his fourth child while he waited to be moved to a new parish. He was said to have been robbed, killed, and beaten by a group of people. Elliott O'Donnell said that he was related to Irish chieftains from the past, like Niall of the Nine Hostages and Red Hugh, who fought the English in the 1600s. O'Donnell went to school at Queen's Service Academy in Dublin, Ireland, and then at Clifton College in Bristol, England.
