"Tower of Lag" built in the 15th century by my redneck, scottish ancestors. The locals of Dumfries stay far away from this legendary place of darkness. I was instructed by our guide not to go up the hill and into the tower "It was too dangerous!". So, immediately I went up the hill and into the tower "what would you do?". Following the footsteps of your ancestors is always profound. The Grierson trademark torture was unique indeed. They would smash their enemies into a barrel, insert sharp knives between the wooden planks and proceed to roll the barrels down the Tower's steep hill. There is a verse somewhere in the Bible stating that the sins of the fathers should be visited on their children. "Yes, I have been visited!"

Here I am sitting with a friend from Edinburgh, Scotland (in a crypt, of course!). It was very late and the cemetery was "Pitch Black". I could hear something moving within the crypt, and swear I saw a body standing in the corner when the flash went off. Probably just a homeless person- Scary as hell at that moment though! I'm sure you would have peed your britches.

I'm in Heaven!

Legend states that there is a secret passageway between this cemetery and where an ancient church once stood facing over the Loch (allegedly destroyed in a fire), now Boleskine House (see video in my blog). Most magicians know this to be the perfect location for unlocking the doors to the other side. So, I looked frantically for the physical passageway but was unsuccessful. If you know where the secret door is, I can keep a secret, "I promise!" FYI- finding this house was very difficult. Not only was it hidden in the middle of a forest, no one would take us there. The locals are serious about their legends (far beyond the C man's reign) & don't want you there!
