Or perhaps Edinburgh Fortean Society on BBC News, depending on how you feel. Now read on.... Nice one @gordonrutter :cool2:

Something that may be of interest to Edinburgh Forteans is the YouTube series 'North Edinburgh Nightmares' As the name suggests, the focus is on the north of Edinburgh, covering the waterfronts and harbours of Leith, Newhaven and Granton up through Inverleith, Dean Village and the New Town to...

Something fascinating that's never been on my radar before now. In 1682, a man in a "little boat" (presumed to be a kayak) was sighted off Eday in Orkney. Locals pursued him and he left the scene at speed. Two years later in 1684, another was sighted at Westray. Later a kayak was captured and...

Hi guys. Did anyone see the ITN News at Ten tonight? That is on Wednesday 5th May. I ask because a few minutes into the programme (just moments after the headlines and title music) they cut away from the newsreader Tom Bradby (live from Edinburgh) to pan across the night sky above Edinburgh and...

There doesn't seem to be a general purpose thread for scary noises and spooky sounds, so here's one. Mods, if there's a better place for this, please feel free to move it. Tonight, I needed to go down to the nearest shop. It was about 11 PM, just before closing time. It was cold, windy and...

Every time I visit Chambers Steet Museum in Edinburgh , I make a point of having a look at these . They were 17 tiny coffins , each containing a small figure , and were found buried on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh back in the 1936 . If I recall correctly , thes coffins also formed part of the plot...

GHOST HOTEL Jared Keeler I have long believed that spirits (ghosts, if you will) are present on earth. This opinion is, of course, from the multitude of accounts of sightings....some from my own family members. I have lived in a "haunted house" myself, and although I had not witnessed a...

Edinburgh and the weird Hello! I've just moved recently to Edinburgh, and was wondering if anyone knows of any particularly interesting paranormal places or events (I'm a student, I've got lots of time on my hands ;) ). Living in the shadow of Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags is...

Has anyone been down there or even experienced anything while having a look round? Interested to hear thoughts and opinions on this as im thinking of trying to get a group together to go there.
