Glamis Castle, standing since the 14th century in Scotland, is steeped in ghost stories. Its halls whisper tales from the past, with several specters said to roam its grounds.

The Grey Lady, Lady Janet Douglas, is the castle’s most famous ghost. Accused of witchcraft and murdering her husband, she was burned at the stake in 1537.

Her spirit is often seen, leaving a trail of ash…

Another haunting figure is a woman without a tongue, aimlessly wandering the park. The most eerie is Earl Beardie, the Earl of Crawford. Legend has it, that he vanished after playing cards with a mysterious figure, presumed the devil.

Now, his presence is felt in the castle through the sounds of dice and clinking glasses.

Glamis Castle’s ghostly inhabitants add a haunting depth to its history, making it a site of intrigue and spectral tales.
