In this episode, we turn to Glenburn, a quiet area in Paisley, Renfrewshire—where in the 1980s, 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 permeate throughout the property.
Neighbours heard nothing, but friends of Alan - the young boy who lived in the flat - experienced something that nearly ended in tragedy and ultimately brought in the local authorities.
Was it a classic poltergeist case - focused around one member of the household? Or, was it something psychological?
Join me as we explore the documented reports, eyewitness accounts, and theories behind one of Scotland’s lesser-known but compelling hauntings.
