LOCATION
Why is The Tolbooth, Aberdeen said to be haunted?
Built in the 17th century as Aberdeen's civic prison, the Tolbooth held debtors, witches awaiting trial, and condemned criminals within its thick stone cells for close to two hundred years before becoming a museum. Guides who lead tours through the surviving cells describe cold, airless corners where visitors report sudden nausea or a feeling of being watched, and staff have long spoken of unexplained banging on cell doors after closing. The building's grim past β inmates were held here in appalling conditions, and several are recorded to have died awaiting trial or execution β earned it a reputation that later brought television ghost-hunting crews to film through the night. Aberdeen City Council, which now runs the museum, presents the stories as part of the building's heritage rather than confirmed fact.
