Episode Details

Deep in the Central Highlands, on the lonely shore of Loch Ericht, Ben Alder Cottage has held a haunted reputation for decades. Old newspaper clippings, bothy folklore, and modern overnight visitors tell the story of Joseph McCook, strange noises in the dark, doors crashing open, objects moving, and the uneasy feeling that this remote shelter is not always empty.
