Uncanny Clydeside

Better known for its industrial past, the Clydeside in Scotland is also a hotbed of strange tales, from hauntings and accused witches to bodysnatching. The universities are packed with dark events from their past from the dark trade of bodysnatching to galvanism (yes, Frankenstein's Monster might just have stalked Glasgow); Paisley became cursed thanks to the so called witches burned in the Bargarran witch trials; the Glasgow Subway and overground railway system positively rattle with ghouls, whilst America's premier haunted location, The Queen Mary, had her slightly tortured origins in Clydebank. Learn about the poltergeists that knock on walls and hurtle items from the north of Glasgow to Paisley and the ghosts that walk the picturesque Gilmorehill campus of the University of Glasgow. Edinburgh might be seen as Scotland's ghost capital, but the industrial heartland doesn't disappoint in the otherworldly.
