### The Green Lady's Revenge Lilias Drummond married Alexander Seton with expectations of a happy life as Lady Fyvie. She bore him several daughters but could not produce the male heir he desperately wanted. Alexander's attention turned to Grizel Leslie, and Lilias found herself increasingly isolated within her own home. The exact nature of her final months remains contested. The darker version of events places Lilias in a locked room, denied food until she wasted away. The gentler telling has her dying of grief, heartbroken by her husband's betrayal. Either way, she was dead by 1601, and Alexander married Grizel almost immediately. On their wedding night, the newlyweds retired to the bridal chamber in the Charter Room. They woke to scratching sounds from outside the window - impossible, given the room's height from the ground. In the morning light, they discovered Lilias's name carved deep into the stone windowsill. The letters remain today, weathered but legible, positioned exactly where no ladder could reach and no human hand could work. The Green Lady continues her vigil. Staff arriving for morning duties have encountered a woman in green satin gliding through corridors. The smell of roses fills rooms with no flowers present. Sudden cold envelops visitors standing near the Charter Room. One particularly detailed account describes a guest waking in the Preston Tower apartment to see a green-clad figure standing at the foot of the bed, watching silently before fading from view. ### The Hidden Child Workmen conducting renovations broke through a blocked fireplace in the Morning Room and discovered the skeleton of an infant concealed within the chimney space. The child's identity and the circumstances of its death have never been established. After the discovery, staff began hearing the sound of a baby crying from within the walls - plaintive, distant weeping that stops when anyone approaches too closely. The remains were removed and given proper burial, but the crying continues. Property managers have documented multiple incidents of the phantom infant's voice, always emanating from the Morning Room, always ceasing before a source can be located. ### The Library's Dread John Pollock committed murder and paid for it with his life. His death mask was taken and eventually found its way to Fyvie Castle's library, where it remains on display. The room now carries an atmosphere of profound unease. Visitors have reported feeling physically ill upon entering the library. The sensation builds quickly - a weight pressing on the chest, rising nausea, an urgent need to leave immediately. Those who ignore these warnings describe an escalating terror with no apparent cause, a certainty that something malevolent watches from the shadows between the book stacks. Staff have learned to warn visitors before entry. The dread is not constant - some days the library feels perfectly normal - but when Pollock's presence makes itself known, the effect is unmistakable. ### The Ghost Cat and Other Spirits A spectral cat has been reported on the great staircase and within the Preston Tower apartment. The animal appears solid until observers realise they can see through it, at which point it vanishes. Multiple witnesses have described the same creature over different decades. The phantom trumpeter announces himself with music that has no source. Guests have searched the castle seeking the musician, finding only empty rooms. The cigar-smoking figure manifests through scent before sight - the unmistakable odour of tobacco smoke in rooms where no one has smoked, followed occasionally by glimpses of a male figure quickly gone.
