This week on Paranormal Pajama Party, we're heading to Scotland to meet its green ladies and glaistigs.
Discover the tragic tale of Dame Lilias Drummond, whose ghostly presence still haunts Fyvie Castle centuries after her untimely death. Learn about the protective yet mischievous nature of glaistigs, the goat-legged women who guard cattle and castles alike. Uncover the dark histories behind other famous green lady hauntings, including those at Crathes Castle and Longleat House.
This episode examines the complex symbolism of the colour green in various cultures, particularly its association with both life and death. We'll also talk about how Scottish tourism has capitalised on these ghostly legends, transforming haunted castles into popular attractions. Is it ethical to commodify dark history, including violence against women and children?
Tune in for a haunting journey through misty moors, ancient castles, and enduring legends.
