Famous haunted Glasgow site reopens as ghost-hunters line up

Provan Hall House, said to be one of the city's most active sites for paranormal phenomena, now welcomes visitors again, following a transformation.

The historic building in Easterhouse was the scene of a double murder when a soldier returned from war after two years to find his wife had had a child, according to legend.

Enraged, he killed them both and their ghosts are said to haunt the building to this day.

Located in the Seven Lochs Wetland Park, it has undergone a multi-million-pound upgrade into a state-of-the-art visitors' centre with interactive exhibits, educational activities, workshops and community events.

History and Horrors Tours will host a storytelling fright night for up to 20 intrepid ghost-hunters aged 12 and above, from 8pm to 10pm on Thursday, July 27.

Electromagnetic field meters will be used to detect any unexplained electrical activity and balls which light up when moved will help detect any other-worldly attendees.

Lynne Knight will lead the tour with husband, Garry.

She said: "This is the first ghost walk we've done at Provan Hall and we're really excited about it. We know a lot of people involved in ghost-hunting and they all say it is a really active site.

"There are stories about a lot of unexplained phenomena taking place there.

"Anyone aged 12 plus who is interested in the history of the building or the paranormal should come along.

"It'll be a fun evening - even if you're sceptical about ghosts. We love it when sceptics come along. They usually end up a lot less sceptical by the end of the ghost walk."

Lanarkshire Paranormal have also signed up to lead an adults only night tour of the building between 9pm on August 12th into the early hours of the next day.

Janice Murdoch-Richards of Lanarkshire Paranormal said: "Provan Hall is a very active paranormal location. It is a known hotspot.

"We have experienced things that there is no explanation for at that site. Once we asked if there was anyone there, and a lace tablecloth floated up into the air and landed on the table.

"People also talk about feeling touched by someone when there is no one close by and people have run out of the old dairy screaming because a man's face appeared from nowhere.

"There have also been sightings of the little boy and his mother who were murdered there. We'll be using dousing rods and echo boxes to try to pick up spirits' voices.

"We really can't wait to take people around."
