The Ghost Hunt is Afoot!
Join Mostly Ghostly for an immersive night of paranormal exploration at one of Dumfriesshire’s oldest and most atmospheric strongholds.
By night, we’ll explore historic Closeburn Castle — a place we know and love, steeped in haunting atmosphere.
Over time, a number of compelling stories have arisen: sightings of a woman in black, reports of a shadowy canine presence, and tales of a mysterious death omen — each one woven into the castle’s rich tapestry of folklore.
Guests will take part in small-group sessions using traditional ghost-hunting techniques — including dowsing rods, mirror scrying, trigger objects, pendulums, and basic audio recording — all supported by local history and lore.
Wander the dungeon, tower stair, and woodland paths. Consider the ancient iron yett — a powerful symbol of threshold and transition.
Expect an engaging and atmospheric evening combining paranormal investigation with local history and legends.
A good old-fashioned ghost hunt — in every sense.
