As the country gets ready for the remake of Ghostbusters, there’s plenty of paranormal activity going on closer to home.
Scotland’s Secret Bunker, formerly an underground nuclear command centre to safeguard Scotland during the Cold War, has had a spate of apparently paranormal activity.
In the last month there’s been a plethora of phantom photos of ghostly goings on in the St Andrews visitor attraction.
A woman fainted in one scary incident, while apparent connections with several spirits have had paranormal experts scratching their heads.
In one of the photos, two figures are seen at the end of the long corridor at the entrance to the bunker, which is situated 100 feet underground.
In another set of snaps in an office, a ghostly presence appears in one photo but not in another one taken directly before it.
Visitor Matthew Pattinson only discovered the two before and after photos when flicking through his phone with a friend.
“I only remember taking the first photo,” he said.
“It’s like my phone took the other one itself and it even lightened it.
“You can make out what looks like the sideways view of someone’s head and a nose.
“I’m getting chills just talking about it.”
For Matthew and his fiancee, the spooky happenings haven’t stopped there.
Since they returned to their Carlisle home objects have been moved in their bedroom and the battery on Matthew’s phone, which was bought just two weeks before the couple’s visit, is permanently low.
The photo of what looks like figures at the end of the corridor was taken by a guest on a Scottish Ghost Nights’ tour of the attraction.
“It’s one of the best photos I’ve ever seen of apparent spirits,” said Lisa Tedstill, managing director of UK Ghost Nights and Scottish Ghost Nights, which conducts regular paranormal events at the bunker.
During a separate visit by the same company, a female visitor felt ill in the dormitory and then fainted just as a popular piece of ghost hunting equipment went off.
The face of a man was then seen at the dormitory window.
Mediums have also reported connections with several spirits.
Managing director James Mitchell said: “I regularly receive reports from visitors of alleged ghost sightings.
“And while I haven’t seen any direct evidence myself, I’d love to spot a ghost here.”
