Step into the flickering candlelight, strangers, as we dig up this spine-tingling classic from the SSOS archives! While we're taking our summer break (because even ghost hunters need a vacation), we're treating you to one of our most chilling historical deep dives.
Journey back to 1695 Scotland—a time when superstition was basically the evening news, whispered secrets were the original social media, and restless spirits had zero chill. In this bone-rattling episode, we unravel the story of the Ringcroft Haunting, one of the earliest and most mysterious poltergeist cases ever documented—and trust us, this ghost had some serious anger management issues.
When humble farmer Alexander Telfair's farmhouse became ground zero for supernatural chaos, the countryside didn't just get spooked—it got absolutely wrecked. Stones rained from invisible hands (talk about a rock concert), disembodied voices provided unsolicited commentary in the dark, and furniture decided to redecorate itself without permission. Was it a malevolent spirit with commitment issues? Mass hysteria before it was trendy? Or something far more sinister lurking in the shadows of history, just waiting to ruin everyone's day?
Join Lee, Jen, and Josh as they piece together historical accounts, eyewitness testimonies, and the chilling details of this nearly forgotten chapter in paranormal history. We're serving up sharp research, dark humor, and enough historical intrigue to make your ancestors nervous.
Pack your lanterns, steady your nerves, and maybe grab a drink—The Ringcroft Haunting is about to remind you why 1695 was a terrible time to be a homeowner.
🕯️ Come curious. Stay strange.
