00:00Everest we just want to see a ghost we just want to see a ghost what I think
00:06it might have been a crisp packet mum and dad letting us watch what we wanted
00:13really fired our imaginations as kids yes our lives have been so crazy over the
00:22years that we don't get to see each other that often but this is an opportunity
00:27for us to reconnect this is great wow so me and you are going to stay in some of
00:34this country's most haunted places I forgot pillows are you joking please oh
00:40is that normal and we're gonna find some ghosts together that's like a life
00:46ambition we'll keep going until we get something I'm not going out there
00:57so I know we're in Scotland yeah but where are we in Scotland we're in the
01:17Cairngorms which is not only one of the most beautiful places in Britain but
01:21probably one of the most beautiful places in the entire world do you know I
01:25I've never been to Scotland before you've never been in Scotland I've never seen
01:31you in a pair of hikers that's because I don't you look great I love it yeah I
01:36like that come on like this new me oh you hear that the biggest bird of prey in the
01:46UK do you know they can actually swoop down and take baby lambs and stuff are
01:52you joking no that's what they eat
01:57God this is very spiritual isn't it oh it's totally I don't think I've ever
02:04witnessed anything like this in my life well what an honor to be here why you do it
02:10for the first time so where are we actually staying tonight well we're
02:22staying a place called Ben Alda cottage which is a bovie what's a bovie so bovie
02:28is like a stone sort of small building where people can stay for free hikers or
02:33it's often remote and it is probably one of the most haunted if not the most
02:39haunted boffy in the entire world the biggest sort of activity you get there
02:44is poltergeist activity and there's a story about a guy who lived there for a
02:49whole winter and during one night it was so hellish what he experienced he just up
02:55sticks in the middle of a snowstorm and left never returned it's really creepy
03:01isn't it it is what I saw someone move between trees up there or something this
03:11is like American werewolf in Scotland it is a bit come on we've got to pick up the
03:18pace a little bit we need to get there before nightfall
03:22you know this doesn't feel very haunted at all you might not say the same when
03:32the Sun goes down it's like a lunar landscape like Mars thing is I don't do any
03:40exercise or you forget somewhere like this exists and the irony is I'll watch
03:47people on YouTube doing that wild camping yeah and now I'm doing it with my own two
03:55legs I truly don't think there's a better place in the world when the weather's
03:59like this as well go on that's it and up and up I can't
04:07God I'm getting emotional I really love you you know I've not I've not told you
04:19that really for a long time and I've got to get upset but I really love you and I've
04:26really missed you oh I've missed you too that's the sweetest thing ever well it's
04:32just nice to be doing there's nobody funnier in this entire world than you
04:36there is nobody can make me laugh the way you make me laugh that's so sweet but
04:43likewise
04:50what are you doing it's a map it's not a kite oh hang on there we are yeah that's it
04:58oh my gosh Ben Older Bobby we're here wow that is creepy or what
05:12cup of tea yeah we deserve it I think this is just magical isn't it it really is and
05:20that's coming from me because you hate everything I hate everything
05:25hey I was on the hikers forum and people who stayed here were messaging their experiences
05:33footsteps in adjacent rooms it was subsequently found to be empty oh
05:39footsteps coming right up to the front door without anyone ever entering the bovi itself
05:45a sudden and intense cold as well as a feeling of a hostile and unseen presence oh gosh the slamming
05:53doors scratchings and groans a ghoulish face at the window during a storm that is terrifying because
05:58it's not like you can go anywhere else no yeah exactly but anyone can stay here okay you think
06:07about people that go on long journeys like this long hikes are they getting away from something are
06:11they getting away from a bad past that is a slightly unnerving thing oh I just saw something move in the
06:21window so what we could walk in there and there could be some I don't know there could be a murder in
06:27two Swedish hikers oh yeah but the thing is also it's like people who do this type of thing you know
06:32we're all like-minded people right you stay in boffies oh I have more in common with them than you do
06:38probably yeah you're going in as probably the first pair of Gucci sunglasses have gone inside those walls
06:43you know what I I do feel extremely spiritual here well maybe that will help us experience something
06:55tonight come on then well let's get down there yeah sure let's do this what an adventure feel that air
07:05I know I wonder if you can get drunk off pure Scottish air come on wait no it's going a bit
07:17unsteady here can you just come back and help me a little bit you're like the old woman in Titanic
07:25getting on the ship hey it's been 84 years come on we gotta go down here god we haven't held hands ever
07:35oh my god a bone is that human I think I could be think fast
07:46god do you think this is the longest you've ever walked yeah furthest yeah that is incredible how old
08:03are you I don't know you have to check Wikipedia it's either 30 9 or 39 so this is the furthest you've
08:11ever walked yes and that shows you you know there's still time for everything oh I can't wait to get
08:17this bag off we've made it we've made it oh hello is anyone here oh hello oh
08:40oh god gosh it's certainly rustic have a look at this yeah there are other rooms though yeah yeah
08:52yeah let's have a look there's a pot noodle what's that sleeping bag and mat and bag does that mean
09:04someone staying here oh yeah distinctive smell isn't it damp socks damp socks sweaty socks yeah do
09:17you get a sense that this place might be haunted yeah by whoever that is I don't know well you're not
09:24comfortable staying this is this like a sort of guestbook thing I read some out oh god somebody's
09:31written here our friend woke up in the night complaining about an old man in a rocking chair
09:37she was screaming and inconsolable and then nothing else I would not want to see that I'm not staying
09:45here well do you want to have some really good news we ain't actually staying in this bit tonight oh my
09:53god you booked a hotel no we're still sort of here but it's just next door it's like a bit that you can
09:59book online and it's as we can lock the door no one has to come in I will never appreciate you more
10:08than I do right now and you know I wouldn't be able to put up with this I know thank you let's just get
10:17out of here before he comes back and the stink what is that smell personally I think it's about 40,000
10:26people cooking pot noodles one after the other exactly since like 74 yeah we're in
10:43oh let's have a look I love the little fire there I don't know how many bedrooms there are but let's
10:55have a look oh I see days sort of like a bunk situation oh my gosh no isn't this William Morris the
11:05strawberry thief oh my goodness the curtains do you know what this is reminding me of what a bit like
11:14you know those capsule hotels yeah this is great so I've prepared dinner for us tonight and I think
11:26you're gonna be pleasantly surprised yes this is gonna be absolutely what are you doing in there
11:45reading breathing breathing what are you reading a book about angels in in that have rescued people
11:57in survival situations what are you doing cooking up an absolute storm in here
12:05so I thought what does she like the most in the entire world fast food this is the closest we'll be able to get to it
12:19all right get in there get in there burgers are very almost done ah everything going all right in there
12:27obviously not oh my god I can't leave you to do anything wait I just need to hang on at least the smoke detector works
12:41right dinner is served um so this essentially is a happy meal muck cooper style so dig in go and have a look what's in there
12:58I mean I'm not gonna eat that I know but you do need to eat more fruit I know crisps like fries
13:11like fries yeah well don't just discard the bag yeah not the first generation though oh my god it can never be
13:29right but this I mean oh oh my god it's like a what do you think
13:40happy I think this is the best
13:43gonna make me upset
13:48really no no I'm just hungry
13:54oh this is a life isn't it oh I love how remote this place is when you strip back life right what do
14:05you really need to be happy people well yeah not necessarily I'm quite happy with my own company
14:13don't need a phone don't need your Louis Vuittons your Gucci glasses I mean what's the point in wearing
14:23Gucci if no one knows you're wearing Gucci you don't need fame to be happy no but I don't know are you sure about
14:34that it it's not that I want to be famous I just don't want to deprive the world of me
14:40what can we do to entice some sort of poltergeist activity tonight yeah you've got any ideas well I
15:00I was just thinking what about because I did pack Jenga in the bag that is a red rag to a ball hmm a Jenga to a poltergeist I mean you can see why people say that this place is haunted right yeah definitely I mean I think everybody in Scotland's like associated with a ghost story it's just a where they are situated in the landscape you know miles from anywhere it's just you immediately feel a little bit unsettled
15:30you know somewhere like this but also one of the famous ghost stories about this place is the ghost of the Forester here who lived here in the early 1900s and he supposedly hung himself in this place and has ever since haunted it
15:42but that actually that story got debunked because that was made up by the people who own the land who didn't want people to stay here to keep them away people like you know poachers and strange vagabonds off the land so that's quite interesting it suddenly makes you think about ghosts very differently
16:04yeah maybe ghosts don't exist at all are you even listening your eyes are doing this sorry I am I don't know you're not listening I am listening it was just so boring go get the Jenga
16:23watch this watch this watch this eat your apple
16:31do you want to go fast yeah that's cheating your nails you've got like a prod okay
16:56just pitch black outside I know do you need the toilet yes I do yeah I do
17:05we'll go after this shall we I remember camping on as a teenager having to go for a wee outside
17:14hmm I remember taking my pants down just squatting over a load of nettles
17:21and basically stinging all my arse that's horrible I literally sat into the nettles
17:31wait was it night time
17:33no
17:34what
17:35oh my
17:37I just wasn't looking where I was squatting it's a problem
17:41have you heard anyone come back here
17:51next door no
17:53nothing
17:54he must still be out in the mountains
17:55yeah but he's got to come back at some point
17:57I don't know
17:59did bring the keyboard
18:01get the keyboard out you bought the old keyboard
18:05yeah
18:06oh
18:08oh my I haven't seen this baby since what 2009

18:30move
18:31what
18:32I've got to go to the toilet
18:33where's the shovel
18:35is that a torch
18:49there's a technique the ghosts can use the torch to kind of like communicate
18:59kind of just have to unscrew it as if it's nearly coming out there we go
19:05right here we go
19:06right here we go
19:07if there's anybody here can you turn it off the torch
19:12is there an old forester here
19:25do you like people coming and staying at the boffins
19:34if no
19:35turn off
19:37oh that was horrible there's a guy in a tent behind here literally just camp outside of this wall so it must be full up in there now do you know what ask the spirits the question and they'll be
19:41they'll be able to answer it using the light of that torch is there any spirits here
19:48that's weird
19:49oh
19:50oh
19:51oh
19:52oh
19:53oh
19:54if this is just a faulty torch
19:55just keep
19:56what
19:57just keep doing what you're doing
19:58oh
19:59oh
20:00oh
20:01oh
20:02oh
20:03oh
20:04oh
20:05oh

20:07oh
20:08oh
20:10oh
20:12oh
20:13oh
20:14oh
20:30Yeah. Shall we settle down? Yeah.
20:41How are you doing? What are you doing?
20:43I'm going to put my flowers on.
20:45Oh, you're cold.
20:47What?
20:49What's that bang? Is that you?
20:51No.
20:53That was a knock, then.
20:55Why don't we ask?
20:57Yeah.
20:59Is there anybody here?
21:07What was that?
21:11What was that? I'm not going out there.
21:16Hello?
21:17Charlie, that was the Jenga.
21:20That was the Jenga.
21:22Was it? Yes.
21:23No, because the Jenga would have made a more scaring noise.
21:26That was a FUD.
21:29My heart is absolutely going so fast.
21:37What do I do?
21:39Don't just scare me for the sake of scaring me.
21:42I'm not. I promise. Daisy, I promise you.
21:44Promise, promise, promise.
21:46It might be just that guy coming back from earlier.
21:50I think you've got to go and look out there.
21:52I think it's just a fire.
22:04Is Jenga still there?
22:05Yeah, Jenga's still there, complete.
22:08I think it's just a fire.
22:10We've just got ourselves an estate, haven't we?
22:14Yeah.
22:16I just want to check outside, do a quick sweep.
22:18No one's there.
22:20Anyway.
22:21Right, should we bed down?
22:26Come on then.
22:28Come on then.
22:29Come on then.
22:30Oh my God.
22:35You're moving in.
22:37Oh my God.
22:39Oh my God.
22:41Oh my God.
22:43Oh, look at that.
23:13I almost felt like I was levitating.
23:42Last night was how pure the air was.
23:46And I wasn't cold.
23:47No, I slept so well.
23:49I slept so well.
23:50Because we had long days walking.
23:53Yeah, just being out there in nature.
23:59Nothing weird happened.
24:01There was a bang at one point.
24:03But you know what?
24:04I thought, if there is a spirit here, I'd happily share the space for the spirit.
24:10Yeah, actually, you'd want to share a space for the spirit because it's so lonely.
24:14This is a desolate landscape.
24:15But do you know what?
24:16It didn't feel like a part of Geist.
24:18It felt like the spirit of the land, in a way.
24:22All right, Pocahontas.
24:23Do you know what?
24:27It would be a crime not to dip my toe in that lock before I leave.
24:33Go on, then.
24:33Come on, then.
24:34Why not?
24:34I'm going to do it.
24:35Come on.
24:41Keep your energy up.
24:43You won't see it coming.
24:46And you won't feel it coming.
24:50Come on, lad.
24:51You won't know it coming.
24:53I'm so proud of you for doing this.
24:56You've got good Scots courage.
25:00Oh, my God, those trunks.
25:03You've had those since you're about 12.
25:05Oh, my God.
25:09Get in there.
25:11How cold is it?
25:14This is great.
25:19That's it.
25:20Breathe through it, lad.
25:22You're doing it.
25:23It's like a thousand knives.
25:26It's like being grated along a cheese grater.
25:31Very powerful.
25:33And brave.
25:34Brave like a lion.
25:36I feel alive!
25:38You're going very blue.
25:40Do you think we're any closer to finding out if ghosts exist or not?
25:54I don't, actually.
25:56But I think that's good.
25:58Yeah.
25:58I don't want this journey to end because, you know what?
26:02We might not have got conclusive evidence about ghosts, but I found a lot out about you.
26:09Do you know what?
26:10Yeah.
26:11Do you know what?
26:12Honestly, I think I'm more sceptical now than I was at the beginning.
26:17Really?
26:18I really do.
26:19Because I believe more now than I did at the beginning.
26:21That's interesting.
26:22I think I believe more that places absorb energy.
26:28There's no doubt about that.
26:30Like this, look.
26:30I'm just soaking up all of us.
26:34Yeah.
26:35Yeah.
26:35I think this is my favourite place of everywhere that we've been.
26:42Yeah.
26:43I think we've learnt a lot about ourselves.
26:45And do you know what?
26:46Honestly, I'm really proud of you because I didn't think I'd get you this far.
26:52I've learnt a lot about us and I've learnt that I really miss you, you know.
27:00Oh, thanks.
27:00The good side of you.
27:01I like the side that makes me burgers and gives me a helping hand across a mossy rock.
27:09But this is my happy place.
27:10Because a place like this brings out my good side.
27:12And in turn it brings out your good side.
27:14Well, then we should do this more often then.
27:16Yeah, I'm so up for it.
27:17Definitely.
27:18We should be doing this once a month.
27:20At least.
27:21Every weekend.
27:22Steady on.
27:23Okay.
27:25All right.
27:25Can I just play this song?
27:37Put it there.
27:39Sis.
27:39You know, I had a fake tan last night.
27:42Did you?
27:43You did that on your own as well.
27:45God, are you feeling all right?
27:46In the dark.
27:48With no mirror.
27:49Just a spray.
27:50What's your name?
27:51And what have you done with my sister?
27:52She's still here in her, she's still here in her Gucci glasses and her dry robe.
27:58I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me in these last few days.
28:12I've been afraid that I might drift away.
28:16I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from.
28:27And that's the reason why I seem so far away today.
28:33Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about...
28:40Sinister stirrings on the red planet.
28:43Limelight's dramatic new story, Murder on Mars.
28:46Listen now on sounds.
28:47Reopening a real life case.
28:49An Orkney murder shocked a community.
28:51Who was the man in the mask?
28:53Watch now on iPlayer.
28:54But it would make me more than sad.
28:58Caledonia has been everything I've ever had.
