Scottish Ghost Stories is a book by Elliott O'Donnell, first published in 1912. A vivid collection of eerie accounts and local lore gathered from the haunted corners of Scotland, this volume presents tales that range from whispered domestic visitations to full-blown apparitions in lonely castles and on mist-shrouded moors. O'Donnell writes with the brisk, anecdotal eye of an early 20th-century investigator: the stories read like reported encounters yet retain the atmospheric mood and regional detail that lovers of Scottish folklore and supernatural literature prize. Expect tales of haunted houses, banshee-like wails, spectral riders, and uncanny presences tied to specific places and traditions. Part entertainment, part folklore compendium, the book helped cement the popularity of regional ghost collections in the Edwardian period and remains a go-to for readers searching for classic Scottish ghost tales, haunted Scotland stories, true ghost accounts, and folklore-rich supernatural reading.
