My Ghost Stories: Pt 2
So, following on from Part 1, I am going to tell you my next encounter with the supernatural!
This one happened when I was in my mid to late teenage years, I think. We are unsure on the precise year we travelled.
My mother used to work on the UK rail network, and part of her job was reviewing the service. As such, we travelled from Cornwall to Scotland overnight, spent the day in Edinburgh, then came home the following night on the 'sleeper' train.
While in Edinburgh, we did the usual 'tourist' stuff. Visited castles, walked The Royal Mile etc.
It was in one of these castles, still a Royal residence today, that I had my next encounter.
Nothing happened in Edinburgh Castle, which is reputed to be one of the most haunted places in Scotland! Perhaps because it was so busy that day.
Holyrood Palace.
We had a tour group all to ourselves, as in just the four of us in the family. Things were going very smoothly, nothing untoward, until we got to the tapestry room.
I can't even remember what the tour guide was saying, although I do remember that Nessie was included in one of the tapestries!
What distracted me was a very real image of a dying man in a doorway!
It honestly felt as though I was watching a real-life event unfold in front of my eyes, it felt so very real, and not as if seen through someone else, or from above. I felt I was actually there, witnessing this murder.
It turns out that Mary, Queen of Scots' secretary, David Rizzio, was killed in that very spot!
His blood stain was still on the floor.
That was number two, there are plenty more to come.
