2) weeks ago I was in Scotland with part of my family and (1) night we stayed at Tulloch Castle--I didn't know anything about this prior to the visit, but there is a website, etc. as it is supposedly haunted. There are lots of pictures on their site with strange images, etc. and it has a very interesting history.(The pics below were taken by me)

.



After dinner, we went on the castle tour with the GM, who showed us the various rooms, etc. and discussed the history of the castle.
He relayed multiple stories about guests sleeping in the lobby after encounters, or leaving outright--the most famous ghost is that of a little girl named Elizabeth who lived in the castle with her family (IIRC the 1800s or 1700s)--when she was 11 or 12, she entered a bedroom and found her father in bed with someone who was not her mother, so she fled, and tripped at the top of an iron staircase, fell down the stairs and broke her neck.

Their family portrait hangs in the grand ballroom, and he pointed out an interesting detail--there is no father in the portrait. After Elizabeths' death, the family had the father painted out of the picture. Elizabeth is in the white dress, and the dark shadow behind her is where the father was painted out.

She supposedly still haunts the castle with reports of her being seen in the lobby, walking the grounds, giggling, and appearing late at night in the room where she found her father--guests have reported waking up to a deep weight on their chest, feeling cold in the room, being told "it is time to walk the dog" or seeing her image in the mirrors--TVs have turned on or off, etc.
She found her father in room 8, where most of the hauntings occur--which just happened to be my room--


I must admit after hearing the stories and seeing the pictures, the hair on my neck stood up when I went back to the room that night, but the evening passed uneventfully, and I can report no sightings or other events occurred
