rashore Posted April 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2017 This is a three part series, out of Scotland. Quote #1: Blackness Quarry Ghost In early 1883 in Dundee, the coastal Scottish city, a ghost was glimpsed in Blackness Quarry. Here we have a ghost flap, a ghost riot and a ghost hunt all combined. It is an interesting case because contemporary reports were rich in details. This, though, is the only report, known to this blogger, from the first Blackness Quarry phase. http://www.strangehistory.net/2017/04/21/1883-dundee-ghost-flap-1-blackness-quarry-ghost/ Quote #2: The Hilltown Ghost Yesterday, Beach introduced the Dundee ghost of 1886. Here is the sequel. All is quiet at Blackness Quarry, but elsewhere in the town evil brews.Here is the main report. http://www.strangehistory.net/2017/04/22/1883-dundee-ghost-flap-2-hilltown-ghost/ Quote #3: Castoffs Some peripheral reports from the 1883 Dundee ghost flap. Readers will remember that reports began in late 1882, and that they died out at the quarry in late Jan 1883, after an energetic policeman had intervened. 19 Feb 1883 a Dundee paper reported that the ghost had been caught. If this really was the or a miscreant it is extraordinary that he got off so lightly. Was he a member of an influential local family? His job and home hardly suggest it. Or was this just an idiot with a white sheet on his head, a part time banal ghost of the worst sort? Almost certainly the latter. http://www.strangehistory.net/2017/04/24/1883-dundee-ghost-flap-3-castoffs/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
