The Haunted North
The Haunted North: Paranormal Tales from Aberdeen and the North East
is a new book about the ghosts of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, Scotland and talks in detail about the haunted places of Aberdeen. This includes many ghost sightings and hauntings by spirits that Aboutaberdeen did not know about which are written about in greater detail on the links further below.
Moorings Bar Ghost
For example the Moorings Bar, Trinity Quay, Aberdeen is a haunted bar with quite an atmosphere. A spirit there is said to turn off taps in the taproom of the cellar. Objects have moved in the bar after closing time. This includes, mops, chairs and a knife. Staff have reported to the author of The Haunted North, Graeme Milne, of doors being pushed against though no-one is there and being shoved at the toilets. Barstaff have reported that they felt watched by an unseen spirit. This ghost in the Haunted North is thought to be Ted who was a former Canadian Airman who worked at the Moorings Bar. His ghost has been seen in the cellar as if still working with kegs of beer.
Graeme Milne also thinks there may be another ghost at the Moorings Bar which is responsible for the more sinister occurrences. Its activities started after a 1970s price list was removed from a wall in the cellar. The owner of The Moorings Bar, Craig Adams, set up some electronic voice phenomena (EVP) recording equipment. After listening to hours of white noise he heard a voice say "Put the price list back". This was also heard by a barman called Frank who also reported seeing the sudden appearance of smoke or steam that quickly disappears. Later recordings in the bar recorded the words "Get out".
Another spooky event in the Moorings Bar told in The haunted North is that of a regular who went missing. One day her photo appeared to flutter down from the ceiling after closing time in front of the publican. He reported this to Graeme Milne who investigated and found that she had died in hospital. Neither men could explain where the photograph had come from.

Other ghosts written about in the Haunted North by Graeme Milne include Castle Street ghosts on the site of public executions using the Maiden, ghostly figures, poltergeist and other strange phenomena.
Aberdeenshire ghosts include ghostly footsteps at a Victorian wash house at the Dunecht Estate and a monk figure at Crathie. Morrone Lodge near Braemar in Royal Deeside is thought to be haunted . The haunting manifest as a figure standing at the foot of a bed and has been heard moving in a bunk above sleeping guests. Dogs are reported as being unsettled in Morrone Lodge.
Gelder Bothy Ghost
Another Aberdeenshire ghost described in The Haunted North is that thought to be a hillwalker who died on the doorstep of the Gelder Bothy on the Balmoral Estate one winter. Groaning noises inside the bothy and scraping noises and banging outside have been heard in the middle of the night by parties of walkers and climbers who shelter in the Gelder Bothy.
Ma Cameron's Pub Ghost
Another Aberdeen pub ghost is at the former coaching inn Ma Cameron's Inn which was formerly called the Sow Croft Inn. Ma Cameron was Amelia, wife to owner John Cameron. Ma Cameron's is now located in what is today Belmont Street. The Ma Cameron's pub ghost manifests itself as strange noises most recently heard by a decorator working in the late hours of the night who heard tapping noises and replied with his paint brush and had the exact number of knocks tapped back.
A dark figure has been sighted moving between the snug and toilets of Ma Cameron's. This would originally have been the stables and wholesale store. Staff have reported that the Ma Cameron's pub ghost switches on and off lights and whilst in the tap room there is the feeling of being watched with the presence of someone directly behind.
Beer taps in the bar have been seen by a customer to turn itself on as if a drink was poured.
Commerce Street Ghost
The Commerce Street ghost described in The Haunted North manifests itself as an evil spirit in the flats which has been felt by many people and Graeme Milne narrates their stories in his book. The history of this area sees its use as a witch burning area and again of public execution. There was a murder in Commerce Street in the 1960s. Modern paranormal activity includes sudden drops in temperature and hearing Latin being chanted which the author explains could be the recital of prayers at an execution by a priest. An Apport has manifested several times where a spirit has tried to communicate with the living by making a pattern with carpet kirby grips and spreading cigarettes out of a packet onto the floor when only one person has been in the flat.
Constitution Street Ghost
Though not all hauntings are said to be menacing or evil. Such is the case of the described Constitution Street ghost of Priest Charles Gordon who is said to have come back to his favourite room and armchair to enjoy smoking his pipe.
Kaimhill School Haunting
That said some hauntings written in The Haunted North has caused alarm and fear amongst those who witness ghosts. This is the case with Kaimhill School haunting where cleaners do not like to be alone in certain parts of the primary school because of disturbing incidents such as seeing a mysterious figure wearing a black face veil and feeling chilled and eerie at this grey lady figure.
Those who have seen the North Silver Street phantom that stands leering at the bottom of beds will agree that ghost sightings can be alarming and cause fear.
Boddam Haunting
Not all the ghosts in The Haunted North: Paranormal Tales from Aberdeen and the North East are thought to be of human origin. For example the Boddam haunting at a former Fisherman's cottage at Earls Court left huge paw prints in the house and made terrifying animal noises.
Hazlehead Academy
Another haunted location in Aberdeen seems to involve the spirit of a child at Hazlehead Academy drama department, specifically the stage area. Staff and pupils have reported a depressing feeling and one of pervading gloom that suddenly occurs. Knocks on walls have been heard and the chains of the heavy stage curtain have been heard to rattle. Cold spots have been reported and some pupils have reported feeling touched as if by the hand of a child. Several witnesses at Hazlehead Academy have reported seeing a boy dressed in 1960s clothing watching rehearsals. Blue balls of light have been seen and voices heard though no-one can be found. Graeme Milne gives several theories on the causes of these Hazlehead Academy hauntings and paranormal activities.
Castlehill Barracks
The site of the old Castlehill Barracks was the scene of a disturbing tale of a ghost nurse who attended to a sick child staying in the building that was being used as flats. When the mother went to thank the nurses at the nurses' home they did not know that they had been asked to attend too the sick child. The nurse had been dressed as if in World War One nursing uniform and Graeme Milne's research revealed that the Castlehill Barracks building had been used as a military hospital and the room the girl had been in was the mortuary.
Powis House Ghost
Powis House in Old Aberdeen is a former Mansion House that is now used as a Community Centre. Children playing outside have reported seeing a room fill with blue light and the figure of a lady with black hair look through the window. A ghost nicknamed Annie is said to haunt the basement of Powis House. Some staff at Powis Community Centre have reported seeing the ghost of a young girl, thought to be a child who died from scarlet fever.
Another community centre ghost in Aberdeen is said to be at Rosemount where lights go on and off on their own, furniture moves overnight and paperwork disappears and reappears later. Staff have a feeling of being watched and a figure in a red cape has been seen in a corridor and disappear into the toilet area. It is thought that this could be a Red Cross Nurse since the building was used as a World War One hospital with the area being the old morgue.

Using thermometers and EMF metres the team of the East of Scotland Paranormal investigated with the help of a medium and the use of trigger objects.

The ESP investigators saw lights and objects from the corner of their eyes and several were touched on the back, ear, head and lower ribs. Lowered temperatures were noted in spots without drafts.
