Shambellie House Trust and Mostly Ghostly invite you to a historic first — the first ever public paranormal investigation inside Shambellie House.
Like many grand houses of its kind, Shambellie has gathered its share of curious stories over the years. Visitors have spoken of unsettling feelings of presence within the house, while one former resident recalled strange sounds from the upper floors — creaks, bumps and other unexplained noises in the old building. Local folklore also tells of a mysterious ‘Grey Lady’ reportedly glimpsed emerging from woodland near the driveway…
During this investigation-led event, you’ll explore the house and take part in a series of small-group ghost hunting sessions using traditional techniques, including dowsing rods, pendulums, mirror work, trigger objects and audio recording.
Built in the 1850s for the Stewart family and later home to Scotland’s National Museum of Costume, Shambellie House is a striking Baronial mansion set among woodland just outside New Abbey — a fascinating place to experience as evening falls.
You’ll hear the stories connected with the house and its surroundings while taking part in collaborative investigation sessions throughout the building.
A good old-fashioned ghost hunt, in every sense.
Hosted by Mostly Ghostly, creators of award-winning ghost and local history events across Dumfries and Galloway since 2008.
