St Andrews Ghost Stories by William Thomas Linskill (1855 1929)
The Scots city of St Andrews is renowned for its ecclesiastical ruins, ancient university, and proud distinction as the home of golf. Some say the town deserves far more recognition for its paranormal activity
William T. Linskill, formerly Dean of Guild* of St Andrews, was an avid collector of supernatural tales. In this book, he shares with us seventeen ghost stories centered around the ruined medieval cathedral of Saint Andrew. These recountings may be fictionalized, but sightings of the spectres have been reported by many witnesses over the decades. One of the popular local tourist attractions is a Ghost Walk, which visits the ghostly habitats of one of Scotlands most haunted locations.
