Weird and Spooky Places
You are about to visit some of the strangest, most terrifying places on earth.
Weird & Spooky Places
St. Andrews
Cathedral, Scotland St. Andrews, now more
popularly recognized as the official shrine of the modern sport of golf,
once held strategic importance to ancient Viking and then English
invaders. Perched on the rocky, wave torn coast of the North Sea, just a few
dozen kilometers north of Edinburgh, St. Andrews was viewed as the key to
the populous Scottish lowlands, and was the subject of numerous vicious
and bloody sieges.
Burnt at
the Stake, St. Andrews Scotland St. Andrews has a sinister
and violent history. In the days of the Protestant Reformation, religious
zealots (Protestant and Catholic alike) committed numerous violent acts
against accused heretics, ranging from stabbing to imprisonment and even
incineration. The spirit of a young Protestant martyr, Patrick Hamilton,
lingers in St. Andrews on the grounds of Scotland’s oldest University.
This 21-year-old martyr was burned at the stake as a heretic, and
according to local legend, his image is permanently etched in the stone of
the tower he was facing when he was burned. I have been there and there is,
indeed, an eerie human image imbedded in the stone. On occasion, spooked
residents and visitors report a mysterious and nearly inaudible crackling
sound accompanied by the unmistakable stench of burning flesh when
passing close to the site of Patrick’s incineration.
The
White Lady of St Andrews
In the soft, waning light of
misty autumn evenings, many startled and astonished witnesses have observed
a vaporous lady in a flowing white gown who walks the grounds of St.
Andrews Cathedral and surrounding shoreline. While no one knows of the
tragic circumstances compelling this mysterious lady to linger, her
glowing apparition has persisted for at least the last 300 years. Perhaps
she searches for a lost love.
(Most sightings occur in October or November
in early evening).
