MYSTERIOUS EVENTS with Steven A. McKay

Today I'm going to dive into some creepy stories that are local to me. I've lived and worked in and around Dumbarton all my life so it seemed ideal to discuss a few of the legends attached to the place. Starting at Dumbarton Castle, where I used to be a steward, then moving along to Overtoun's notorious "dog suicide bridge" we'll find out about the supposed hauntings and mysterious, creepy events that have occurred here throughout the ages.

Today I thought we’d take a look at one of Scotland’s most mysterious locations – Boleskine House, a place which was once home to the 20th century’s most infamous occultist, Aleister Crowley and later Jimmy Page of rock titans Led Zeppelin. There’s been a lot written about Boleskine over the years with hauntings and strange tales said to be attached to the house so, let’s take a closer look and see if any of these legends stand up to scrutiny!

Thank you for joining me today for this first ever episode. Since it IS the first episode I know it has to be a good one or people won’t tune in for more, so, with that in mind I decided to kick things off with a true crime case that’s intrigued me for a few years now and that is – the mysterious death of Cindy James. I’m not going to go into all the tiny details of the case, that’s not what this podcast is about, I really just want to take a look at some of the more bizarre elements leading up to her disappearance, and the questions that the authorities were left with when she was eventually found.

On Mysterious Events we’ll be taking a look at some of the less well-known unsolved mysteries of the world. Hauntings, strange disappearances, unexplained deaths, alien abductions, eldritch places, weird phenomena, true crime, and lots more topics that might be described as ”Fortean”!

I think I say in this trailer that I'll be aiming to publish episodes every 2 weeks or so but I've since realised it takes a lot more work than expected so...! Maybe every 2,3, or 4 weeks ;-)
