The Paisley Poltergeist: The Glenburn Haunting | Eerie Edinburgh

Bing Videos

 

Back in the 1980s, on Glenburn Road, the road opposite where you have parked, a family reported a series of disturbing and unexplained events. What began with strange noises soon escalated into something far more intense: loud crashes with no source, doors slamming, and a deep sense of unease that seemed to permeate throughout the property.

Neighbours heard nothing, but Alan, the young boy who lived in the flat, and his mother experienced these terrifying noises night after night.  Alan invited his friends for a sleepover and something happened that nearly ended in tragedy and ultimately brought in the local authorities.

Was it a classic poltergeist case? Or, was it something psychological?  Lock your doors, put the lights out then click one of the links above and make up your own mind.

GROUND CAN BE SLIPPY AND MUDDY, TAKE CARE WITH CHILDREN AND DOGS NEAR THE WATER.
