    Probably just a woman who has wandered into the wrong place. A lot of Ghost sightings are down to sleep paralysis, pranks or our minds playing tricks on us. Found the article below interesting

    There were a lot of topics I considered for this blog. I thought about the nature of haunting and how the explosion of paranormal tv, radio and webcasts have influenced our society, I even thought about how to handle a case where you really just think the client is off his meds. But I decided that what I really want to get into is why we have to be careful when reviewing our evidence or listening for those illusive ghost voices that whisper to us from the invisible world.
    The human brain is an enormously wonderful muscle. It is fantastically complex and simple at the same time. Our stimuli recognition capabilities are out of this world, letting us see three dots and recognize it as a happy face, or hear some clicks in the static and find a voice whispering our name. It’s truly amazing that we can make instantaneous decisions based on information we already have stored in our brain filing cabinets without consciously sorting through those files. But here’s where we have to be careful because those dots might just be dots and those clicks might just be clicks.
    Pareidolia is a brain malfunction that lets us misinterpret those dots and clicks as something we recognize instead of what it really is. We see shadows on a hill in a picture of mars and find a face. But the face isn’t really there. There were no little green men who built some kind of stone structure just for us to find. As a matter of fact, if you look at photos of the same location taken at different times during the planet’s rotation when the shadow aspect is different you won’t see a face at all just a lump of dust.
    As paranormal investigators we need to be aware of our own limitations and understand that we aren’t always right in our interpretation of our evidence. We need the eyes and ears of others to help us recognize when we have made a mistake. This is where the team evidence review is so important. Verifying our interpretation with others helps to reduce the claims of pareidolia from skeptics.
    Here are a few tips I recommend when reviewing evidence.
    1. If it’s a photo anomaly, attempt to return to the location and visually inspect the site for shadows that might cause objects to appear as something other than what it is.
    2. Re-create the moment to the best of your ability with a critical eye for what might have caused the anomaly.
    3. Don’t be fooled that zooming in on a digital photo will give you greater clarity. Trying to focus too closely on one specific point may cause the digital photo to become more obscured.
    4. For audio and video files, play them straight through the first time. Make note of the time code for any possible anomalies but don’t dwell on them during this initial review.
    5. Go back over just those points in your audio and video files where you found anomalies during your initial review. Isolate those sections and play them back once. If you don’t hear the same thing during the second playback, cross it off your list and move on.
    6. Save the remaining anomalies as separate video and audio files and number them. (EVP1, EVP2 or VID1 & VID2) Do not make any note of what you think you see or hear in the file name.
    7. Share your anomalies with the rest of your team. Let them listen to or view the anomalies individually with headphones and write down what they think they see or hear. No one at this point should share what they think they see or hear until everyone has had a chance to review the anomalies.
    8. Compare the interpretations of all team members for similarities. If it’s just a matter of hearing a voice say “Hi I’m Bob” or “Hey I rob” those are similar and you can assume that yes, you have something worth sharing with the client. If you hear “Hi I’m Bob” but your team hears nothing but static, then you have fallen victim to pareidolia. Accept it but don’t be discouraged. But never put forth anything that your team has serious disagreements over. If you, as a team, aren’t sure it’s true evidence, then your critics will be sure it’s not.
    9. The most important piece of advice I can give is not to be seduced by the evidence. Don’t keep going over your audio and video files hoping that you’ll find something you missed the first time. If it wasn’t there during your initial review, it won’t suddenly materialize during a second or third review.
    But please don’t get hurt feelings if I just don’t hear or see what you do. I’m not doubting your ability as an investigator, nor your honesty about your evidence. Working together to make sure that any evidence of the paranormal that we put our name on will only help to increase our credibility and the credibility of field.

    They look the business haha!

    there is a place a 10 minute walk from me as well, called Newark Castle, a few years ago now there was a story published in the local newspaper about a ghost that haunted that, and they showed a picture of a wedding outside it getting photos done and you can clearly see a ghostly figure in one of the window, place is quite creepy and ive been in it before but it was during the day haha!

    found another place near me as well, its quite close to balrossie but this isnt really a haunted place (not that i know of anyway) but it was an old place where they used to man anti aircraft guns, theres basically 4 round turrets and a building, in 1 of the turret places there is a set of stairs that leads underground but there is big red padlocked doors and you cant get in, the door leads to what looks like bomb shelters underground in the next field, would be interesting to get under there and see what its about.

    Aye it's a castle that is now a hostel, we were in a youth group when I was about 14 and they took as away for the weekend there.

    We got put in the most haunted room in the castle which used to be a nursery, we never new about this at the time though. Our window kept opening on it's own, you needed to give it a good thump to open it as well.

    Kept hearing wee crying noises or giggling but we wrote it off thought people were taking the *.

    In the morning me my bro and my mate were coming up from breakfast we heard a door slam and seen a big black shape come through one wall and through the one across from us. When it went through the other wall there was a door slamming noise as well.

    We just ran away. Talked to the guy at reception and he gave us a flyer they send out about the 'Haunted Castle' and that ghost was explained in it as well as the crying noises and giggling noises in our room.

    Was * terrified and had to stay there an extra night lol.

    Carbisdale Castle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Only thing I can find on it just now but the ghosts are mentioned at the bottom, nothing bout the nursery there though.

    EDIT: Wee bit on here as well: http://www.visitdunkeld.com/scotland-castle-ghosts.html
