Scottish Ghost Stories

Also online · free to read

This collection gathers ghost stories rooted in the folklore and superstition of Scotland. Its tales move through glens, castles and other lonely places where the boundary between the living world and the dead seems thin, and where an ordinary evening can turn strange. Told in a clear, descriptive manner, each story offers a separate encounter with something unexplained, from restless spirits to unsettling sights tied to local belief. Taken together, the pieces show the early twentieth century's appetite for the uncanny and the macabre, and they will appeal to anyone who enjoys atmospheric supernatural fiction grounded in a particular country's legends.
