If you go down to the woods tonight... We're over the moon to be working with our friends at Castle Loch Lochmaben Community Trust on an eerie after-dark fundraiser! Leaving from Victory Park, Lochmaben on Saturday 19th September, a torchlit procession will venture into the woods. En route, guests can listen out for the distinctive rustle of after dark creatures and Project Manager, Darren Flint will be on hand to help identify them. Hopefully we'll be lucky enough to spot some of the loch's rich diversity of nocturnal wildlife as we wind our way along the atmospheric pathways. Our spooky stroll...

The first time I ever laid eyes on Carnsalloch House, it was late one night in 2007. We’d heard a story about the property the previous evening, a strange incident that had affected several young visitors who’d gone out to explore after hearing of its haunting reputation. Curiosity was piqued and I really wanted to see for myself this place that everyone was talking about; a creepy old mansion inhabited by numerous ghosts, its driveway said to be ridden by a headless horseman with a Pink Lady laying her ethereal claim on the nearby burial crypt which I’d visited in awe as a teenager. This...

Following the full-on festive rush, we’re right back in the swing with a host of paranormal investigations planned in Dumfries & Galloway. It’s always an honour to be invited to someone’s home, business or property to conduct research and a real pleasure to meet people from many different backgrounds. We’re sometimes asked if we solely focus our work in D&G or travel further afield to conduct investigations. The reality is that in addition to being based in Dumfries & Galloway, our home region and the main heart of our work, we are paranormal investigators in Scotland...

As paranormal investigators, we're privileged to receive an extensive range of eye-witness accounts from the curious to the bizarre and everything inbetween. Some things can be easily explained whereas others defy logic. Now and again we come across stories of dark, anomalous figures caught observing human behaviour. Their appearances differ from many ghost or spirit sightings and there is a school of thought that they are not spirits of the dead but a different species entirely. They are commonly known as shadow people and we invite you to read the following report which took place in a private...

A week today since Halloween and I think we’ve just about recovered! We were inundated with phone calls regarding our two Halloween ghost walks and were both amazed and overwhelmed by the buzz of excitement on the days leading up to them. When the two walks sold out mid-week, we made the decision that for the first time in our history, we would add a third walk to our ghostly itinerary with an 11pm tour. We liked the idea of bringing in the ‘Witching Hour’ on the streets of old Dumfries and wondered if any mysterious happenings might take place on this spiritually significant date… Prior...
