Monstrous 30ft ghosts and clashing spirit armies are just some of the terrifying phantoms haunting landmarks across Scotland, according to a paranormal investigator.
John West, 54, has toured the country to compile a catalogue of chilling experiences for his new book, Britain's Haunted Heritage.
In the tome he writes of mountain beasts, a fleet of phantom Viking longships and the spirit armies from each side of the English Civil War battling even after death.
