Something Was Watching Us...The Spirits of Durham’s Haunted Inns
Durham is a city steeped in centuries of history, but its past is not always quiet. In this episode, I share the chilling experiences shared with me by Hannah, a former bar worker who encountered something unseen while working in some of Durham’s most historic pubs. From eerie footsteps in empty rooms to a ghostly child watching from the doorway, these are the hauntings that pub staff never forget.
The ghosts of Durham’s inns and taverns don’t just exist in folklore—they are still felt today by those who work behind the bar, lock up at night, and spend the small hours alone in these ancient buildings.

The Witches Ghosts: The Haunting of Abergeldie Castle
This week, we venture into the haunted halls of Abergeldie Castle, a stunning fortress found in the heart of Deeside, Scotland. With centuries of history etched into its walls, Abergeldie is more than just a relic of the past—it’s a place where legend and tragedy collide.
At the heart of the castle’s story is the tale of French Kate, a 16th-century servant accused of witchcraft and executed on the nearby Creag nam Ban. Her ghost is said to haunt the castle’s cellars and clock tower, with countless reports of strange sightings and unexplained sounds adding to her legend.
We’ll explore the dark history of Abergeldie Castle, from its role in rebellious times to the shadow French Kate has cast over its halls.
For those fascinated by witchcraft trials, I highly recommend Contagious Enemies: First-hand Accounts from the Aberdeen Witch by Dee Lawlor. It’s a gripping exploration of Scotland’s witchcraft history that provides valuable context to stories like Kate’s. If you’re drawn to tales where history and the supernatural intertwine, this is one you won’t want to miss.
