One of Scotland's 'most haunted castles' launches Halloween ghost tour

Glamis Castle, one of the 'most haunted castles in Scotland', is launching a special Halloween tour later this week. Visitors will get to see inside the walls of the "historic and spectacularly spooky" attraction.

The castle is inviting "brave" travellers to be led through by an expert tour guide, who will share the supernatural stories of the ghosts claimed to haunt its grandiose rooms. Among the chilling tales guests will be told are those involving the mysterious Grey Lady and Tongueless Woman.

Ghosts of Glamis will include a range of creepy lighting and sound effects. There will even be "ghostly figures" lingering in the shadows to give visitors an added scare.
