A Ghost Encounter at Edinburgh Castle

I hope things are going well back home, and that you have had a great summer.

As you know my family and I have been to Edinburgh, Scotland, to visit Edinburgh Castle, which is said to be Europe’s most haunted place.

There have been reports of many strange things like, sudden temperature dives, strange fog, strange light and the feeling of fear, and the last mentioned I have experienced on my own body. Already the first day, when we arrived after a very long trip, there was something scary about the place. It became very dark and it began to rain and thunder almost immediately after we pulled up to the castle.

We went into the reception and got the keys to our rooms handed out. When we got up to the rooms, to unpack our things, it seemed cold and clammy, and the rooms were very dark and creepy. It was getting dark and we were ready to head to bed, when I heard a strange noise from the hallway.

At first I didn’t think much of it, but then I heard the noise again, I got up from my bed to go check it out. When I got out there I saw a white figure hovering around the corner and down the stairs. I went after the figure and had hardly believed my own eyes, there it was, a poltergeist standing there and staring deeply in my eyes. I was completely speechless when it said “Do not be afraid, I’m not going to harm you. I'm here just to do some unfinished business” In all my fear I managed to say "What is your unfinished business?" The poltergeist looked at me and he said “I need to make sure my fiancé and my dear child are okay before I can rest” and then out of nowhere the poltergeist disappeared. A few days went by and I replayed the Whole situation in my head over and over again. It was a scary and exciting situation at the same time, the poltergeist was friendly and were definitely unharmful.
