Well lovely listeners, we've had quite the break! But we are back with a super jam packed episode!
And before you listen or watch, be sure to scroll down to see the extra tid bits and videos that were taken while we were all three together! You can actually SEE Ginger interacting with these spirits! This may be 1.5 hours long but its 1.5 hours FULL of real life ghost stories from our recent trip to Scotland! Karen and Ginger joined Lucy in her homeland and we stayed at Wardhill Castle for a week. Ginger is our special ghost whisperer!! In this episode she tells us all about the castle ghosts that she encountered!
If you'd fancy hanging with use "in person" you can watch the YouTube version as well!!
Here's the little 3 minute video I took of Ginger while we were in the Gold Room - simply incredible!!!
And here's another!
If you're not familiar with Wardhill Castle, it's actually the home of the Leslie family and has been in their family for 900 years!
You may be more familiar with the Leslie family than you realize! Their daughter, Rose, is a famous movie actress! When we were there in June of 2022 (when this video was recorded) Rose landed the cover of Bizaar Magazine for that exact month!) which was ummmm... a bit weird and surreal! Especially since the mag was just casually sitting out on the castle's coffee table in the cozy sitting room! 
And here's the castle itself!!

You'll also hear me talk about the flickering lights in Crathes Castles and here's the little video I got while I was there.
That's it for today!!! Thanks so much for hanging out with us!

We welcome back our resident ghostie expert Ginger! She is joining us again with some more personal ghost stories, including some Lee encounters (Lee is her resident ghost!)
Join us to chat with her, be a wee bit spooked (Karen and Lucy certainly are!), and try to get to the bottom of what all this ghost stuff is about anyways! Apologies for the slight audio mishaps (was Lee haunting our equipment??) despite bragging about how great our sound has gotten since we began... If you have your own spooky encounter you want to share with us (it doesn't have to be Scottish, we do not discriminate against ghosts of other cultures and countries!) then get in touch by going to our website at https://www.1scot1not.com/contact.html you can also check out our merch, art club and more at https://www.1scot1not.com
