Water Thrower Ghost
Caldenoch Castle stands amidst the rolling hills of Lowlands, its ancient stones bearing witness to a most peculiar haunting. For years, a mischievous spirit roamed the area, delighting in soaking unsuspecting passersby with water. This ghostly prankster became known as the Water Thrower, a name that still sends shivers down the spines of locals. The haunting was eventually brought to an end by a local holy man, who performed an exorcism to rid the area of the troublesome entity.
Historical records of the haunting are scarce, but it's believed that the Water Thrower's antics took place over a century ago. The castle itself dates back to the medieval period, having served as a stronghold for various Scottish clans throughout the centuries. While there's no concrete evidence linking the haunting to a specific event or individual, it's possible that the Water Thrower's manifestation was connected to the castle's turbulent past. Whatever the reason, the holy man's intervention brought a welcome end to the haunting, allowing locals to once again traverse the area without fear of getting drenched.
