Today, I wanted to go back in time roughly 2000 years, to the birth of Jesus, or, at least, the birth of Christianity, and discuss a book that will be controversial for some but hopefully interesting to most of you. The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God?

Is the book true? Has it been debunked? Was Jesus a real man? Find out the answers to (some) of those questions here!

Today I'm going to dive into some creepy stories that are local to me. I've lived and worked in and around Dumbarton all my life so it seemed ideal to discuss a few of the legends attached to the place. Starting at Dumbarton Castle, where I used to be a steward, then moving along to Overtoun's notorious "dog suicide bridge" we'll find out about the supposed hauntings and mysterious, creepy events that have occurred here throughout the ages.

I'll also mention some other, less well known tales, including a UFO sighting, a poltergeist report, and a story that was recounted to me by the witness himself - a no-nonsense security guard who was frightened out of his wits during a bizarre encounter with an unknown entity!Join me for this fascinating dive into Dumbarton's ghostly history.If you're enjoying the show, and want to help out with the running costs, you can Buy Me A Coffee at the link below.

Today I thought we’d take a look at one of Scotland’s most mysterious locations – Boleskine House, a place which was once home to the 20th century’s most infamous occultist, Aleister Crowley and later Jimmy Page of rock titans Led Zeppelin. There’s been a lot written about Boleskine over the years with hauntings and strange tales said to be attached to the house so, let’s take a closer look and see if any of these legends stand up to scrutiny!
