The Golfhill School Ghost Girl

Merry meet all,

Today is overcast. I was out in my garden today. I spotted an amazing spider web. Every August, I find spiderwebs everywhere. It is their time. The spider web is shown in the above photo. A perfect way to sweep in the Witches season. I can feel it in the air. I gathered fresh blackberries today too. Mmm

Now is the time, now is the hour. I feel so witchy. Tonight Mercury enters Libra. It’s a time of balance, which makes sense since Mabon, or the autumn equinox, is approaching. We can heal the chaos of our pasts to have peace now. 

I‘m reading Zac Bagan’s book Ghost Hunting for Dummies. I was shocked to see how in depth he goes about ghosts, hauntings and Spiritualism. I highly recommend this book. I am not finished reading it. It’s such a long read it will take me a while. 

Our spooky tale of the day comes from Glasgow:

Dozens of Dennistoun residents have been left spooked by a ‘creepy’ image of a ‘ghost’ at Golfhill School.

Local Martin Monaghan has caused a stir on social media after sharing the snap on community Facebook group, Dennistoun Information Page. The photo appears to show an old woman peeking through a window at the east end school, which has lain derelict since 2007.

And commenters were quick to refer to previous rumors of a ghost who lived in the school, a young girl who allegedly used to wander around the halls on the top floor.

Yet, others believe the image bears an uncanny resemblance to Donald Trump, or perhaps even Boris Johnson.

Speaking to Glasgow Live, Martin said his friend John Stewart – who took the photo back in January of this year – hadn’t noticed anyone in the frame when he originally took the picture, only to be shocked when he later looked through his photos. Meanwhile, Martin says ‘paranormal experts’ have reviewed the image and believe it to be ‘unexplainable’.

He added: “John was out with a couple of friends taking pictures of Golfhill School. The school is due to be demolished soon and the friends wanted some pictures to remember the school.

“When John got home he looked through his photos and got freaked out as he didn’t remember seeing anything odd whilst taking pictures but this creepy image stood out.

“John said: ‘I am not really a big ghost enthusiast but this image certainly haunted me and my friends’.

“The picture has been sent to paranormal experts who agree the image is certainly unexplainable and that there are actually two heads right beside each other.

“We are non-religious and don’t believe in ghosts but when you see something freaky you can’t unsee it.”

A real-life ghost? Or a well-planned hoax? What do you believe, Glasgow?”

Residual energy could explain the eerie appearance of the ghosts. I leave it to you to decide. 

Stay spooky!!

Overtoun Bridge

Merry meet all,

Ever hear of the Overtoun Bridge? It’s famous, known as Death Bridge. I dare any of you to cross it and comment below your account of crossing such a scary bridge. 

Here’s the story: “

About a half-hour’s drive north of the Scottish city of Glasgow there’s a 19th century castle called Overtoun House.

In the 160 years it’s been around, the estate has served as a movie set, a maternity hospital and a place of recovery for Allied soldiers during WWII.

It’s been named death bridge with over 50 dogs taking to the edge of the bridge to commit suicide. Owner report that their dogs go into a trance state and start behaving as if something has possessed them. In later year a logical explanation was given, that minx surrounds the site which dogs are extremely attracted too but it doesn’t explain why do all the deaths occur between the same two parapets on the right side of the bridge? How come dogs don’t seem to jump off other bridges in Scotland — or anywhere else — that are near mink nests?

In 1994, a local Kevin Moy, threw his baby son off the bridge and later tried throwing himself off it has been reported. David Barret message after my very short two lives here due to signal and battery drainage – to tell me a women haunts near the bridge, this would correspond with the responses i got towards the end of the live …

I had a look a bit further into who this lady could be and she is rumored to be lady Overtoun and is known as the white lady of Overtoun. The story goes that this lady was a animal lover and she would often wander across the bridge with her dog. One day a figure lured this lady and her dog over the bridge to the edge and she and her dog leaped the bridge, over a 60ft drop resulting in both their deaths.

The house itself is also rumored to be haunted by Lady Overtoun, even though in a interview the current owners don’t feel it is. They stated that the white lady haunting first came about after a prank two locals did to passerby’s of the bridge. They set up cable tie and pulled a white sheet across the bridge. However, they do feel angels come to visit the house and have even named one of the rooms ‘The Angel Room’ which displays paintings on the ceiling.”

Wow there’s a scary story. Warning: Don’t walk your dogs there, folks. I can’t explain the reasons for the unfortunate suicides. A bad energy must linger. It gives me the chills. I would be shocked it if wasn’t haunted. On to local news…

Spirit of Halloween just opened very close to where I live. I am so excited! I already planned what I want to buy. I loved their witchy merchandise. 

The leaves are turning already. Fall has arrived early. Soon we may spy pumpkins perched on decks and verandas. I would love to hear about your awesome garden harvests!!!

Stay spooky!

Blessings, Spiderwitch
