Scotland’s past is full of odd tales of second sight and ghostly apparitions, it has long been said that the sprits of the dead would return to seek the living, to impart secretive information or to take there revenge from beyond the grave. The superstitions and beliefs surrounding death and the return of the dead have always had a strong foothold in Scottish culture and history. Today I will share some tales based on this old superstition.
