Ghostly tales from the Isle of Skye: Phantom Highlanders and mysterious apparitions. 

Wonderful storytelling............My Edinburgh Granny was a feisty, no-nonsense wee woman who brought up 4 boys and my mother, through the Depression. She had a holiday on Skye in the early 50's and had a paranormal experience on the Island. She refused to ever talk about it, except once, to my mother. That rather indicates it was very real to her. My mother thought I would be mocking, so also refused to talk about it. What did Granny see?

I never miss an upload. You are a master storyteller. I am going to make a pilgrimmage to Skye and Siccar Point if it's the last thing I do.

I stayed up there in a cottage for a week in Kilmaluag Bay in the mid-nineties. It's an incredible island. The best thing apart from the scenery of the island was the absence of artificial light and one night experienced a sky full of stars unlike anything I had seen before or since. I didn't witness any frightening apparitions, apart from my own hungover, pale face in the mirror after one too many at a Ceilidh in Portree.😊

There he is....and the Sunday is complete and saved! Happy days....never mind the rain! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻

Yay an EE upload to be indulged, hot chocolate, a bag of Revels an snuggled in bed bliss.... stories of Skye or anything remotely Jacobite and I'm in!!

it makes me cry to think of those Highlanders wondering still. Such a beautiful story,in such a beautiful land, but indeed very sad. thank you

As a Scottish woman who moved down to the South East of England back in 1977 ( seeking work as a teenager ) I have always wanted to visit Skye . I absolutely will do this . Due to retire from Health Care in about three years . Skye is on the bucket list ❤ Thank you for the video ❤

I could listen to you narrate anything for the rest of my life. lol. xx I love your channel & watch your videos over & over. I was on the Isle of Skye a few years ago & was most enchanted with it's beauty. Thank you for taking me back there with more interesting information.

I love your voice. You could narrate a dictionary and I would listen intently. LOL Great stuff. i love learning about the Scotish legends and the imagery OMG so stunning. My husband and i have family in Scotland and would love to visit but I am disabled so I guess your videos will have to do. And they do very nicely. Tank you for all your hard work putting these together for us.

I would give my eye teeth to see the highlanders ....what an epic story! Thanks again for your tremendous research and dedication.

An awesome video with lovely storytelling. You have a wonderful, Scottish lull in your voice for narrating.

My Aunt and Uncle saw the Austin in the 1960's It became a family legend.

Thank you for your Channel, a potent mix of Background and relating the Accounts. All with a voice that holds the Attention. Thank you again.

Thank you, Eerie. Recordings of trauma captured and replayed. Til someone sets their souls free.

Sad that I missed the premier but, beautifully filmed, written and delivered as always, Sir. The fact that you delve into the history as much as you do makes you stand out above the rest. Thank you again for all you do. This channel is amazing.

My understanding of the ghost car is that a Minister was driving his 1934 Austin Ten down to one of the old, turntable ferries. However, the brakes failed and the car went through the chains at the end of the ferry and into the water. Despite the best efforts of the ferry crew, they could not break the car windows and the passengers in the car drowned. The Minister was the sole survivor, but suffered a nervous breakdown shortly afterwards. The car was once spotted and then chased by a policeman in his patrol car, but disappeared. I also understand there is a second ghost car, although this takes the form of an old fashioned hearse, bright lit from within and seen moving along the shoreline. There was a very good documentary about the ghosts on Skye which was produced for BBC Scotland's Alba (Gaelic) service.

Absolutely love this channel. Even the intro music is terrific. Nothing like a good ghost story, esp. when it has a basis in historical fact. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

A poetic tribute to the history of the Isle of Skye. I can't help but wonder where the Austin came from. Someone must know, but carried it to their grave. Something occurred that locked the urgency of the racing car to the island.

Beautifully told and beautifully illustrated.

As ever. A brilliant video, delivering more spectral shenanigans for our enjoyment. Thank you kind sir for your continued content. Brilliant.

I love the story telling and rich history😉

Another brilliant collection of tales…the car one for me is the strangest one. Highlanders re-enacting their route over and over I can get …but an empty car driving around is weird

I don’t know how the people of Scotland can stand it. The beauty would have me in tears every day. Breathtaking seems an understatement. My son is taking me on a trip there next year. When it’s my time to go I hope heaven looks just like Scotland and my ancestors are there waiting to show me around.

Your productions are world class.

Thanks!

Interesting video 👍

brilliant vid as always. I love Skye, I find it hauntingly enigmatic even on the brightest summers day. The scariest thing on Skye is the 3mm midges with 10 feet teeth x

Och mon, they're Scottish! What's this "gently snoring?" More great stories, thank you.

I think there is another haunted car (not sure if it is on Skye or not but it is near a ferry dock, I think) called "the wee black car" that was involved in a tragic accident at or near the ferry dock and many natives and tourists have reported seeing "the wee black car" as it drives down the road in broad daylight.

Another great video, love these ghosts stories, especially the different clans ,

Hi, awesome live ghosts stories video I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing have a great day see you next video. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin 😊

FANTASTIC. I've had many a happy holiday on Skye and will be back. Fascinating to listen to and you have answered a few of my many wonders. Thank you so much. Kelso, Scottish Borders ❤❤

Not going to lie, your videos have become an escape for me while navigating post partum life for the last seven months 😂 though when my son does finally learn to speak, I’m curious if he’ll be putting on a Scottish accent

Moody perfection as usual.

love these vids keep them coming ty

Lovely, engaging storytelling as usual. Thanks for all you do!

Yes indeed. Sky is haunted place I have been camping in 2004 .wonderful place.

I visited Skye in 1998. I instantly felt at ease and had an overwelming sensation of coming home. I wanted to stay there for the rest of my life. However, this New Zealander considers himself a south sea Scot and I hope to one day get back to this magical Isle.

Wonderful video as always! That phantom car was interesting! I've heard of ghost ships and phantom aircraft but never a phantom car!

Excellent! Thank you! 😊

What a great vlog, I didn't fall asleep this time, its quite eerie the ghosts on the Glen, enjoyable content, this is Paul In Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

Another great history Lesson, but with regards to the "Wee black car of Skye" as its commonly known, Neil Oliver has recently written a book about UK Ghosts called "Hauntings: A Book of Ghosts and Where to find them" In which he talks about the wee black car of Skye, its actually one of the strangest Ghosts stories, Apparently the first sightings were in the 1930's and practically Everyone on the island had witnessed it multiple times, along with thousands of visitors to the island. These sighting persisted until the 1960's when there was a tragic accident involving a minister who was driving a small black Austin ten onto the ferry for two women and a child, his foot slipped on the accelerator and the car plunged into the sea, and the two women and the child tragically drowned. Since that day they were no more sightings of the wee black car of Skye. so weirdly it was a Ghost sighting in reverse, where the ghost was seen years before the tragic event and no a single sighting after, a collective premonition if you will. Makes you think what are ghosts and what indeed is the nature of time ????

He doesn't get to the ghosts until 9:30-ish.

This is why I named my youngest daughter Skye. 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💙🌊🌈

Love the music what is it, the views are magnificent, as are the stories, love the series, thank you.

That is beautiful. This land is part of my family. Kinda wished I lived back then when the scots, Irish, and Wales joined

We are halfway into Autumn here in NZ, and today has been wet, windy and just that little bit colder than previous weeks. So I have remade my bed with winter bedding and decided to have an early night watching TV, RU-vid and movies but still have a nice glass of Sauvignon blanc to finish. Such a cosy feeling and EE just makes the whole experience perfect.

Yay!!!! Just in time to listen before work!

Marvelous.

Your a good story teller,enjoying the history😊

As usual, beautifully done. Your narrative eloquence matches the beauty of your country. Best spooky channel on utube!🎉

I would love to see the ghostly highlanders ❤

There's a variant of the phantom Austin on another site, which claims that it was a 'portent', of a tragedy in the 1960s or 70s, when a veteran Austin somehow ran off the end of the island ferry, and the people in it were drowned. Seems off if such a 'portent' should show up thirty years in advance. Incidentally, its not surprising the good doctor was surprised - there wouldn't be very many cars on the island back then, and petrol was all but unobtainable, save for reserved occupations such as his.

Great stuff

My home, and where I grew up 💜 ^^

Very well told stories

Excellent, as always.

This is the Best Channel I have ever found…. Its perfect and entertaining… Great storyteller…😊

I hooe to travel to Scotland. Maybe take my cousin and my son who have family ties from a very long time ago. My son on his dad's mom's side and I think on my cousins mom's side but id hsve to check. I enjoy this channel because of the mix of history and the paranormal.

Thank you very much for this riveting story❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much for the wonderful stories I always enjoy them.

The Skye tourist people owe you some money. I'm planning a visit now!

Excellent Narration. Excellent Voice. Thank You SO Much for the beautiful landscapes-for the Lack of background noise that would interfere-with hearing the wonderful historical, & supernatural information from your great, original Scottish voice. I've always wanted to see Scotland, & now I can, thru your wonderful videos. Please-Change Nothing. It is Perfect, as is. Cordially-Pam

Wonderful story Thank you for taking me along

You should look into The Witch. Windsor, Colorado. It was a house at the western outskirts of Windsor. The town allegedly has an Occult background. The brick house was burnt down sometime in the mid 80's.. Rumours talk about sacrifices at the house. The small cliff that it sat on is no longer there. The ground around where the house stood had dozens of whole animal bones. 😈😃😇

Hi there, i have a story i would like to share that has had a lot of attention recently. im happy to say. It's about an encounrer i had between skye and the mainland in 2019. Please let me know if you would like to hear it and also if you would be interested in using it on your channel. Great content! Kind regards.

Hello, your video was in my feed today. My ancestors were from Scotland and Ireland. I have always loved and been attracted to theIsle of Skye. I’m living in the southern USA. I have incorporated the isle into my email address, beyondtheskye, to acknowledge that my family has moved beyond the boundaries of Scotland. I am subscribing and I look forward to watching more interesting stories about a place that I have never visited that still holds a part of my heart. Thank you! ❤😊

I wonder who’s car that was. No one remembers an accident?

Another great video. I really need to go and visit Skye. It is such a stunning place, with so much to see and do, as well as some amazing history and folklore to boot.

Has anyone checked either side of the road in the bush? I heard of a wrecked truck found 200 yards off the road.

enjoyed this video very much. beautiful images and a soothing voice, thank you.

I love the history lesson, it makes for really interesting stories. ❤

Hello my friend! I am so sorry I missed this Sunday. I was busy and I forgot yesterday. How have you been doing? Good to catch your stories.

What value is there in slaughter? What was the ultimate gain?---And, was there ever a theory put forward about the car?

I love your voice better than the girls. Sorry but had to say it..great stories and would love to see the ghosts of the highlanders . Thank you

Could listen to these for hours. For Days. Perfect in every way!

Thank you for the upload,your stories are a joy to listen to!

Great tales as always

I listened last night but it was so good I listened again.

My late father in laws favourite place. My husband loves it too. Thank you for all the amazing work you put in to this ❤

I'm about to watch, and as I always say, this makes my night! There is no better channel and your visuals and video are stunning. Your stories are magic. I loved seeing places I stood just over a month ago. Pure spiritual magic. ❤

Thank you.

Awesome 😊😊

Great as always.

👍♥️👻

Such an incredibly scary video. I just took a birthday trip to Skye. It is a dream destination. Didn’t see any ghosts unfortunately just saw loads of natural beauty!

Honestly, I would live to see a collaboration with @ghostcasebook
