The Tomb and the Tower: The Ghosts of Haunted Alloa

Beneath the streets of Alloa lies a history far stranger than most realise.

In this episode, we explore the layered past of a small Scottish town once tied to kings, conflict, and industry—and the eerie stories that have emerged from its most forgotten corners. From the imposing walls of Alloa Tower, where ghostly figures are said to appear in dungeons, bedrooms, and echoing stairwells, to the rediscovered tomb of a long-vanished family whose final resting place seems anything but still, this is a journey through places where memory clings to stone.

What begins as a story of heritage and architecture slowly shifts into something darker—accounts of unseen presences, unexplained cold spots, and a lone figure spotted near the cemetery gates. Disturbances that might be easily dismissed—if they weren’t so consistent.

Hauntings don’t always come with a name or a face. Sometimes they’re found in the silence that follows a rediscovery, or in the places where the past was meant to stay buried.
