Visitors to a north-east castle in for a Halloween haunting

Fyvie Castle.

Visitors to one of the north-east’s most popular and reportedly haunted historic buildings are in for a Halloween fright this year.

The National Trust for Scotland is inviting all those who relish the thrill of the paranormal to a ghost story session at Fyvie Castle.

The flagship National Trust property, which has previously appeared on television series Most Haunted, has a frightening reputation.

Ghost hunters say that during renovation works in the 1920s, workers disturbed the grave of a woman behind a bedroom wall.

Castle residents were soon plagued by unexplained happenings, until the laird walled the body back up inside the wall.

Decorating the cobwebs for Halloween this year, Fyvie Castle’s Celine Mutch has spoken of the different spirits spotted in the building.

She said: “Vlaad has been seen as the ghostly butler for several years now at Fyvie Castle and he was joined last year by the Green Lady.

“You can join them both for a taste of the dark side – children and adults alike are always excited to hear of the ghostly goings on that take place in a 13th century castle like ours, especially at Halloween.”

Organisers have stressed that the event is very popular, so booking is essential. Tickets are available from the National Trust

for Scotland website.

Elsewhere in the north-east, thousands of fright night enthusiasts are expected to descend on Aden Country Park near Mintlaw for the annual Aden-een Halloween and firework festival.

The event on Friday, October 30, is run by performing arts group Theatre Modo who will be joined by

Prince’s Trust teams from Peterhead and Fraserburgh.
