Buckholm is a farm near the Scottish borders in Galashiels, Scotland. On the farm lay the ruins of the Buckholm tower. Built in 1582 by the Pringle family.

During the 18th century, James pringle was the owner of the estate. He was widely known as an evil and ruthless man. He mistreated his wife and son and would often beat them up. His family would always live in fear and one night when he went into the drunken state they ran away from home. From then on James pringle became even more angrier and started taking out his rage on the women of the village.

The Government during that time were persecuting the covenanters and he being such an evil man was appointed by the government to inflict pain on the covenanters. The local dragoons (appointed by the crown) were notified of illegal covenanters gathering taking place and they asked for help from James pringle. When they reached the location, the assembly had already fled and only an old man and his son were present on the spot. Both of them were taken prisoners to extract information about the others.

During the night, the old man fell ill and his son was shouting for help. James went into the cell and started beating them up. After some minutes of screaming there was complete silence and James came out of the cell and sat down to drink again. Soon there was a loud knocking on the door. The old man’s wife was found upon opening the door and she demanded to know about his husband and son. In a fit of rage James pringle took the old woman to the cell where her husband and son were kept. The woman screamed when she saw the condition of her husband and son. They were hanging from the hook of the ceiling and blood was dripping from their lifeless bodies. The old woman in pain and agony cursed Pringle and said that the hounds of hell would forever pursue him and even after his death. James pringle became scared.

It is said that he died after sometime and in his last days, the servants and guards would hear him scream. He believed that those hounds of hell were following him day and night and he died a horrifying death that many people believed was the work of hounds of hell. He would sometimes come out of his room running to servants pleading his servants to save him from the devil’s pets.

Every year on the day he died people can still see his apparition running away scared knocking all the doors begging to be let in followed by the barking sounds of hounds only to be dragged away to a place that many believe to be hell. This activity continues on a yearly basis and it is believed that the curse is still in effect.

Reverend Henry Davidson is said to have reportedly exorcised the ghost and banished the hounds to where they came from but he failed as people still claim to witness the terrified apparition on the date of his death anniversary.

Leap Castle was built during the 1300s by the O’Bannon clan. The castle has a very grim history of more than 700 years and is the location of countless battles between clans and later family feuds within the clan as well.

O’Carrolls was a violent and supposedly evil clan who battled the O’Bannons for the castle before finally taking control of the castle in the 1500’s. Before the violent disposition of the castle the land was already a place for many deaths because of the battle. However, the history of the castle became even more grim from then on. O’Carrolls were ruthless people who did not show any mercy. When the head died, there was a family feud between the brothers for power. One brother killed the other while the latter was holding a mass for family members in the chapel which is now known as “bloody chapel”.

The ownership was passed again in the later 1600s to the Darby family and the fighting for ownership and power continued on till the 1900s when the castle had already been passed on to many different people. The brutal history of the castle was already well known but the magnitude of the inhumanity brought upon the people was revealed once again when the restoration work was started in the castle in the late 1900s a wall was removed which revealed hundreds and hundreds of human skeletons lying on spikes which belong to guests who were supposedly thrown from upper floors to kill them. From the evidence found on the victims, it is believed that these murders occurred till the 1800s which means not only the O’Carrolls but the families that owned the castle after them also committed the same crimes.

There are many known spirits said to roam the castle and its grounds. The spirit of the murdered brother is said to haunt the bloody chapel. For hundreds of years people have seen light coming out of its windows and the spirit roaming around the chapel.

The spirit of the two little girls that supposedly lived in the castle during the 1600s have been spotted by visitors playing in the main hall of the castle. They are sometimes even spotted along with an old woman referred to as the nanny.

A Red lady is also seen roaming in the halls of the castle holding the dagger in one hand.

The spirit that has frightened people for the longest period of time and some people believe that the spirit existed even before all those families started living there. An evil demonic entity known as the “Elemental”. This malevolent being is said to have been unleashed on the castle through black arts which according to some might have happened during the early days of the castle. But a former resident “Mildred Darby” who had the first known experience with the evil entity describes her terrible encounter. It is said that she started practicing dark arts which led to the release of the elemental spirit. She describes it as being the size of a sheep, an inhuman skeletal face and dark decomposed eyes. The horrible smell that was already present in the castle intensified a hundred times. It was the smell of a decomposing body.

The elemental does not show itself until it is bothered by people but people have reported being pushed, badly scratched and feeling extremely nauseated.

The castle is described by many as the most haunted place in Ireland and definitely one of the most haunted places in the world.

While researching about Leap Castle, i came to know that Sam and Colby visited the castle just recently and as I am a big fan of Sam and Colby i watch all the videos as soon as they are uploaded on YouTube. However, this time i didn’t because i wanted to see how well I have researched.

Nee soon rubber estate was established in the early 19th century in the town of Yishun. Lim Nee Soon, a businessman started the rubber estate before expanding his rubber plantations in the towns of Sembawang and seletar as well. The plantation was so important not only for lim nee soon but also for the other residents of the town. Infact the businessman became so much of an influential figure that the town Yishun is named after him.

The rubber plantation was spread over a massive area with rows and rows of rubber trees that can be seen for several kilometres. According to Malaysian and Indonesian folklore, pontianaks likes to reside on rubber trees. Pontianaks are vengeful female spirits who are said to have died during child birth. They have long hair, long sharp nails and are dressed in white. They lure unsuspecting men, rip through their internal organs and feed on them.

Fast forward to several decades later. The plantation is now gone and new buildings and roads have been built instead. The area is now a residential place. However, pontianaks do not easily move on from a particular location and with the rubber trees now gone, these spirits have now found a way inside the homes of the residents. Residents have claimed to witness the pontianaks on or from their balconies and even heard their names being called when they are alone. People also hear whispers in the darkness. Even people passing by from that area have heard their names being called. It is said that if you hear your name from far away, it means that the pontianak is nearby and if you are your name being called loudly that means that the pontianak is far away.

Ancient Ram Inn

June 14, 2022June 17, 2022Posted in blogging, paranormal, writingTagged #abandoned, #creepy, #creepypasta, #cryptids, #folklore, #ghost, #haunted, #legends, ancient Ram's inn, England hauntings, haunted ukLeave a comment

The Ancient Ram Inn is a former pub located in Wotton-under-Edge, a market town within the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. It was built in 1145 to house the masons and other builders employed to construct the neighbouring church. After some years a Reverend started residing in the house. In the 1000 years of its existence the ownership and residency have changed many times. After the priest the history of the inn is not well known but during the 1960s the inn was used as a pub. In the late 1960s the property was bought by John Humpries who protected it from vandalism.

Legend has it that before construction the site was a 5000 year old pagan burial ground. The hauntings and paranormal activity makes sense when a property is built on a pagan burial ground. During the construction of a church near the property, several constructions were also done around the inn that may have led to ,according to what many paranormal researchers believe, as the opening of the portal of dark energy.

When John Humpries moved to the property, on the first night itself the spirits made themselves known. They reportedly dragged him in the house. People believe that the spirits that haunt the inn are not some normal ghosts and entities but rather they are demonic entities because when one enters the property they can feel the maliciousness inside. They can sense the air becoming thicker, difficulty in breathing as if they are not wanted there. Paranormal researchers believe that the presence of the portal of dark energy allows these entities to come and go at will.

During his residence at the property, John Humpries recovered many peculiar things from inside the house. Skeletal remains of children, evidence of devil worship rituals.

The paranormal activities were so intense that his wife and children refused to live there and moved out of the property, but John Humpries did not leave the property. In 2016, John Humpries broke his leg and at 87 years old he could not look after himself and his daughter tried to find a carer but nobody agreed to work there. In the end they had to hire two carers because everyone was scared to work there alone. Even then the carers would sometimes be seen on the cctv running scared and screaming.

There are several spirits that are known to haunt the inn. The most famous among them are-

A 16th century Witch that was supposedly killed during the witch trials.

The children that were ritualistically killed in the place that the inn was built or maybe after it was built.

The Innkeepers daughter hung herself in the attic.

A baby’s wail can be heard in the kitchen.

The Bishop’s room is said to be the most haunted room where even John Humpries did not enter without knocking. Dark and evil spirits are said to haunt this room where bishops used to stay.

The ancient building is a hub for paranormal activity and the spirits are believed to pass through from there at will. Nowadays the inn hosts tours for those interested in creating a contact with other-worldly. Visitors are said to have been sick, pushed and even scratched while alone inside the inn. The ancient Ram’s inn has featured in several tv shows, most famous of them being the ghost adventures.

Whether one believes in the paranormal or not, those who have visited or stayed in the inn agree that there is something terribly wrong with that place.
