Mostly Media
Hello everyone and welcome to the Mostly Media section! Here you will find a comprehensive list of media features and appearances to browse through. To compliment these, we’ve also uploaded some pieces for you to check out first-hand, just in case you missed them first time around. These include; a feature written for the Scots Magazine about the original team, our launch and two of our favourite haunts; the Theatre Royal and Garlieston Straight Road (look out for an interesting eye-witness account from a man who saw the ghostly girl on the roadside) and a thought-provoking radio feature on the execution of Mary Timney. .
Initially, we thought it would be a handy reference to compile a media-related list for ourselves, then decided it would be great to share this info. That way, our web visitors can chart the team’s progression over the years - there’s no doubt it’s been an incredible journey! It is important at this point to thank everyone who has responded to our various articles and supported us on our way - this has been a massive help and we really appreciate it (see Mostly Thanks for further acknowledgements).

At the time of updating (beginning of November 2012), we have had 46 articles Mostly Ghostly-related articles published in Dumfries & Galloway Life Magazine. Three of our main articles were written by Andrea Thompson, Writer and Commissioning Editor. One piece was solely an eye-witness account from a former team member re: A75 sighting and 42 features were written by Kathleen. We had no feature in the February 2010 issue due to taking a post-festive season break!
