Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Room with a Boo: ScotlandMore than a paranormal investigator's guidebook, with lore as well as practical info.Scotland has many admirable qualities. The scenery is spectacular. The castles are magnificent. The history is fascinating, if occasionally bloodstained.It also has an extraordinary number of ghosts.This may be the inevitable consequence of several thousand years of clan feuds, political intrigue, ill-advised battles, ancient burial grounds, isolated islands, mysterious disappearances, and a landscape dramatic enough to encourage both folklore and questionable decisions after dark. Whatever the cause, Scotland has accumulated an impressive collection of hauntings and appears in no particular hurry to part with them.A Room with a Boo: Scotland is a guide to the country's most intriguing paranormal locations, from famous haunted castles and ancient standing stones to spectral encounters in ordinary places where absolutely nothing of that sort should be happening. Along the way, you'll discover the legends of phantom pipers, restless clansmen, second sight, water spirits, unexplained lights, and the many stories that have become woven into Scotland's cultural fabric.Part paranormal guidebook, part folklore collection, and part practical travel companion, this book combines local history, traditional lore, eyewitness accounts, and visitor information to help you explore Scotland's stranger side for yourself. Whether you're planning a road trip through the Highlands, seeking out Edinburgh's most haunted corners, or simply enjoying ghost stories from the comfort and relative security of your own home, you'll find both inspiration and practical guidance within these pages.Whether you approach these stories as a believer, skeptic, history enthusiast, or curious traveler, Scotland offers a remarkable truth: in a country this old, the boundary between history and haunting can become surprisingly difficult to define.The scenery is spectacular.The history is bloodstained.The clans have long memories.Welcome to Scotland.
