NSPCC Castle Menzies Charity Ghost Hunt

Hunt for the 20 ghosts that live within the walls of a sixteenth-century castle using a variety of scientific and medium based experiments including a ouija board, a talking board, automatic writing, glass and rod divination and EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena).

Participants will also be allowed to undertake lone vigils with night vision cameras.

Victorian style séances will round off the evening and everyone will be encouraged to take lots of photos of orbs, mist and other anomalies throughout the evening. Refreshments will be provided.

The sixteenth-century castle, restored by the Menzies Clan Society, was the seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 400 years. Strategically situated, it has been involved in the turbulent history of the Highlands. Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Stuart pretender to the throne, rested for two nights in the Castle on his way to the Battle of Culloden in 1746.

Reported ghosts and phenomena in the castle include a man shouting, children laughing, whistling, footsteps and a boy seen running up and down the main stairs. Who will you meet?
