Dark Shadowy figures and Floating heads -    Balgonie Castle just outside Glenrothes, is said to be home to an "intimidating spirit" and a whole host of other beings including a dog like creature, a dark hooded figure, an elderly man and a 17th century soldier.  A visit there is also said to throw up some unusual experiences – the sound of mysterious voices, the sight of floating heads and the feeling that you are being watched.  However the best-known spirit there is the famous Green Lady ghost, who can apparently still be seen roaming around the building to this day.  She has been seen walking past windows on various occasions, and is even known to stalk the surrounding grounds.  The castle's owners Stuart and Kelly Morris have encountered a number of strange goings-on down the years. At one point Kelly felt like someone was touching and breathing on her whilst out in the grounds, and they say that things got so bad that she even considered...

Leaving the only other option open to some is to wild camp or to sleep in their vehicles overnight and move onto a new area tomorrow or the next day.  Many of our rural car parks can be havens of safety when caught out in a an area you are unsure of.  There are many farmers and land owners now bridging the gap by allowing people to pitch on their fields and land for a small fee in exchange for some home comforts to make your stay easier, but this doesn't suit everyone, myself included on some occasions.
