Features
30 London's Haunted Murder Houses, Part Two (Cover Story)
London is full of properties that once witnessed bloody murders and subsequent hauntings. Some have vanished, some still stand, but their vioolent histories are largely forgotten. In the second part of his investigation, Jan Bondeson goes in search of some of the bloodiest addresses of the great metropolis.
40 The New 'Spirit' of Scotland
Brian J Robb talks to movie producer Peter Broughan about the inaugural Scottish Paranormal Festival, set to spook Stirling this Hallowe'en.
42 Stones in the City
Why is there a megalithic circle in the middle of a half-demolished Glasgow housing estate? Who created it, and why? John Reppion talks to Duncan Lunan about the rise and fall of one of modern Scotland's strangest public building projects: the Sighthill Stone Circle.
