The the A75 Britains most Haunted Road?

The A75 Kinmount straight: Trip on 'most haunted' road.

It is reputedly the most haunted highway in Scotland.

The A75 in Dumfriesshire is said to have had more reports of supernatural activity than
any other road in the country.

Now a Dumfries-based group of paranormal investigators has collated the stories for a
ghostly Halloween road trip on Saturday night.

The Kinmount straight on the road is the most notorious spot for sightings.

John Hill, of Mostly Ghostly paranormal investigators, said: "So much has happened at this
spot.

"A quick search of the internet would bring up the A75 as the most haunted road in Scotland
and some say Britain.

"There are so many different things have happened on this road and been seen by so many
different people as well."

Mr Hill and Mostly Ghostly founder Kathleen Cronie have researched the road's supernatural
history to compile the first ever ghost coach tour of the road.

They have some spine-chilling accounts to relate.

"There have been screaming hags, eyeless phantoms and a menagerie of unearthly creatures witnessed on this famous road," said Ms Cronie.

She said one of the most infamous sightings was made by Derek and Norman Ferguson, in
1962.

"They were driving along here and the whole incident began with a large hen flying towards
the windscreen of their car," she said.

"They then witnessed great cats and various other creatures as well as witnessing a phantom furniture van - which is a bit unusual to say the least."

Bob Sturgeon lives beside the A75 and used to run a roadside snack van - at Carrutherstown, near to the sighting "hotspot".

"There was very rarely a week went past without somebody telling me about some experience and usually along that Kinmount straight," he said.

His business was a frequent early morning refuge for traumatised lorry drivers who had parked overnight in nearby lay-bys.

"They weren't the kind of people who would talk to each other," he explained.

"They were long-distance drivers - they were well separated - so it wasn't as if there was a group of them gathered in a pub and passed round stories.

"Most of these things were all just individual experiences."

A common sighting was groups of dejected bedraggled people pulling handcarts or carrying
bundles like some medieval camp followers.

One man was so shocked, he gave up lorry driving altogether and Mr Sturgeon never saw
him again.

"He had been parked on the Kinmount straight and he had woken up at the back of three
in the morning and he saw this 'parade' of people," he said.

"He said that it went on for ages and he had just frozen - he was in an awful state.

"It doesn't matter if you blame it on imagination or fact or whatever, it certainly affected
him badly."

Documented reports of ghosts on this road go back at least 50 years.

As well as seeing assorted animals, horsemen and carriages, some drivers have been convinced they have run over people - phantom figures of men, women, couples emerging from the dark.

Saturday night's ghost tour is for Halloween but it is likely to be repeated several times a
year, for those with the stomach to listen to the stories and the nerve to face the possibility
of a spooky experience of their own.

Another claim of a Ghost caught on camera.

Has ghost of White Hart Inn been caught on camera?


IT is believed to be Edinburgh’s most haunted pub, with more spooky spectres than there
are spirits behind the bar.

Now staff at the Grassmarket’s White Hart Inn have what they believe is a photo of a
troublemaking ghost, captured by a family of Australian 
tourists.

It shows what staff claim is a ghostly female apparition near the venue’s main bar.

The spooky snap is believed to be a girl in a red dress who haunts the bar, a spectral hand visible at her side.

Such has been the 
excitement over the image, a ghost-chasing film crew has asked to spend a night locked inside the pub in a bid to capture unmistakable proof of the afterlife on camera.


Inn manager Michael Johnson, a self-proclaimed sceptic, said the couple’s daughter took
the holiday snap about eight weeks ago on a night out.

Mr Johnson said he remembers the night well as he had been giving the pleasant couple “jip
about the rugby”.

He said: “They were about the second last group to leave and they pulled on my shirt and
said ‘look at this’.

“They’d looked through the photos and seen something a bit strange. She pulled it up on
us and that’s when I knew it wasn’t a hoax. She couldn’t have done any computer graphics
because she was still in the pub.”

Mr Johnson said research carried out since the photo’s discovery had uncovered an unverified drawing of a prostitute dressed in red who is believed to have frequented the pub during the 1800s and been killed on the premises.

The White Hart Inn is central Edinburgh’s oldest pub, with the cellar dating back to 1516.

Poet Robert Burns is rumoured to have stayed there on his final visit to the Capital in 1791.

According to popular myth, Edinburgh’s notorious murdering duo William Burke
and William Hare are supposed to have enticed several fellow drinkers away from the old pub to kill them at their nearby lodgings before selling the corpses.

Mr Johnson said of 
unexplained happenings at the inn: “A girl claimed her hair got pulled while she was changing a barrel. We’ve had a chutney bottle thrown at one of the staff. Two of the girls were working one night and the music stopped.
 They went downstairs and all the wires had been pulled out.

“We had a guy that came and did an audit and he could hear barrels moving. We’ve
also had complaints about people being downstairs counting money and they could hear
people walking upstairs despite the pub being shut.”

Scottish Ghost Adventures, a new production company started by investigator and senior
producer Mark Connor, now wants to spend a night at the inn.

Mr Connor said: “Because of where it’s come from with the elderly couple and them
being blasé about it, it’s obviously not something that’s been done through Photoshop.

“The most striking thing about the picture is how vibrant it is.

“With the hand being there, we’ve enlarged that and we can’t see any manipulation.”

Sex Demon’s and Poltergeists at the Ancient Ram Inn.

Don't let the bed bugs and randy sex demon bite: Britain's most haunted B&B where terrified guests have jumped out of windows.

• Ancient Ram Inn in Wotton-under-Edge, Glos, is riddled with 20 ghosts

• Built in 1145 on pagan burial ground, believed to be scene of child sacrifice

• Guests have been pushed down onto a bed by incubus (male sex demon)

• A stay in the spooky B&B costs £25 to £30 a night

Welcome to Britain’s most haunted B&B - where terrified guests have been left so
scared they have even jumped out of the windows.

The Ancient Ram Inn, in the village of Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, is believed
to be riddled with up to 20 spectres who torment the paying punters of the 12th century
home.

Built on an ancient pagan burial ground - and also believed to be the scene of child sacrifices and devil worship - the Cotswolds cottage is haunted by the likes of a murdered young girl called Rosie, a high priestess, and even a male sex demon, known as an incubus

The strange goings on include a blood-curdling child’s scream, ‘electrified’ wooden beams, and even the touch of an invisible force.



Caroline Humphries, whose family has lived in the Ram Inn for nearly 50 years, said: 'My father won’t go anywhere without his Bible.'

But despite its ghoulish reputation, Ms Humphries is inundated with visitors who are
desperate to spend a night in Britain’s spookiest lodgings, which were built in 1145
and costs between £25 and £30 per night.

Past guests have fled from the house in the middle of the night after claiming to have seen
furniture flying around the bedrooms, visions of a little girl wandering the hallways, and
have even been pushed down onto a bed by a randy incubus.

 Some have leapt from first-floor windows at the back of the property onto a grass slope from a height of a few feet - but no one has been injured as a result.

Now, it is packed out with ghost hunters and horror writers - who are queueing up to spend a night with the demons.

One ghost investigator who visited the house was spooked when a presence pushed up against his back - and felt the wooden beams of the medieval house vibrate and tremble when he grabbed onto them in fear.

A mysterious child’s scream was even captured on video - seconds after a man’s voice
is heard to shout: 'Get out!'

Ms Humphries, 51, said: 'When I was a child, I was so scared of the house I used to
sleep in a caravan outside.

 

While carrying out renovation works on the property, Ms Humphries farther, John unearthed what appeared to be a small burial plot. Items which were dug up were identified as small bones and daggers. John believes that children had been sacrificed to their pagan gods many years ago.

'It was normal for us to see people running out of the house, screaming in terror.

'Once, I woke up and found a chest of drawers hovering over my bed - before it crashed down the staircase.

'People have told us they’ve seen a high priestess sitting in one of the bedrooms, objects move and spin, and we used to hear the ghosts of murdered children screaming and crying in one of the bedrooms.

'We put some children’s toys in the room for them to play with and they don’t cry as much any more.

'The whole house is absolutely terrifying.'

Ms Humphries father, John, 85, was pulled from his bed by a spirit on the first night the family moved into the home - and after researching the history of the house, he was horrified to discover an ancient burial ground lay beneath.

And years later, while renovating the home, he discovered small bones and daggers under the earth - and believes that children had been sacrificed there to pagan gods
years ago.




Ms Humphries added: 'Once we had disturbed one grave, we didn’t want to go digging
any further, and we’ve left the house exactly as it stands.

'Paranormal experts love staying here, but we couldn’t carry on running the house as a
normal bed and breakfast - it’s just too haunted.

A mysterious haze captured.

 'I don’t think we’ll ever be able to sell the house - no one in their right mind would buy it.

 'But after nearly 50 years here, I’ve accepted that we have to live with some unwanted house guests.'












Addition by Graham Hodge
I am always a little sceptical when reading article like the above in national and local press, I 
always have to stop and think if this is just a marketing gimmick by the owners to drum up 
more paying visitors to their business?   

Having met the owner of the Ancient Ram Inn John Humphries a couple of times over the 
last few years, I do not think this is the case at all in this instance.  

John is a very friendly man, but is not a man who is after wealth or is seeking life’s luxuries, he has not had an easy life but all he seeks is enough money to keep the roof over his head and to be able to eat at meal times.  

There are many paranormal groups who hire out the Ram Inn for the night to carry out paranormal investigations, as we have ourselves, so John in not short of people wanting to give him money to visit his home. However unlike many other reputedly haunted places we have hired over the years, John has never charged a ridicules fee for hiring the Inn and has not over inflated the hire price as more groups came in existence and wanting to visit the Ram Inn.
