But First, let's get to the Haunting of Fraser Castle...
In the year 1575, the construction of Castle Fraser was begun.
A man by the name of Michael Fraser, who was the 6th Laird of Fraser, oversaw
the creation of his castle. However, it took sixty-one years before the Fraser
clan deemed the castle finished. Perhaps because of the great care that went
into this castle, many consider it to be one of the grandest castles in all of
Aberdeenshire. And, just as in all castles, this one has quite a history.

The castle was built as the home of the Frasers of Muchalls
and then later became the Frasers of Castle Fraser. This lovely structure was
passed down through the ages to all the Lords’ Fraser. Afterward, it was owned
by the Frasers of Inverallochy and then finally the Mackenzie family took possession.
Possibly, it was in honor of this edifice that they then took the name “Mackenzie
Fraser.”
Frederick Mackenzie Fraser, the last male in this direct
line, died in 1897. Unfortunately, he didn’t produce an heir during his
lifetime. Therefore, his widow, Theodora, unable to shoulder the financial
burden alone, sold the castle in 1921. Weetman Pearson, the 1st Viscount
Cowdray bought it. His family restored the castle and then turned it into a
shooting lodge. In 1976 they gave it to the National Trust for Scotland.
It all sounds so normal. Yet, all castles have ghosts, don’t
they?
Most certainly, or so they say.
The most famous ghost of Fraser castle is a princess who,
for unknown reasons, was murdered as she slept. Not very hospitable for one who
was just a guest, wouldn’t you agree? Nonetheless, one night as she lay
sleeping in the upstairs Green room an assailant came in to her room and
murdered her most foully.
They say the blackguard dragged her bloody body down the
stairs in an attempt to cover up his hideous misdeed. He didn’t get very far as
he was discovered and quickly executed. However, his crime would be forever
noted by the blood stains on the stairs. You see, despite many, many attempts, the
blood just couldn’t be removed. Finally, in desperation, the stains were
covered by the wooden paneling which can still be seen to this day. As for
the princess? Though she was gently buried, her restless spirit still lingers
at Fraser castle. Many have seen her ghostly form floating silently through the
hallways.
In addition to our princess, one can at times, hear ghostly
piano music coming from the Hall. There is also the unsettling sound of whispers
that are nowhere and everywhere. It is also said that the ghost of Lady
Drummond, who died in 1874, is frequently seen on the staircase, dressed in a
long black gown. Finally, if the staff is to be believed, the kitchen is also
haunted. They often hear the laughter of children or their whispered songs in empty kitchen corners.
Yep... that's what they say. Care to drop by for a visit?

Debbie, congratulations on the release of your audio book! Spirit of the Knight is a great story and I wish you much success with the audio release.
ReplyDeleteVery creepy story about Castle Fraser, too---especially the poor princess. I wonder if the killer was a spurned lover or someone obsessed with her.
I wondered that as well. And dragging her down the stairs? Hello...of course you'll get caught. Crime of passion much. Thanks for stopping by! You're the best!
