With the country's oldest university and the ruins of both a magnificent castle and one of the grandest cathedrals of medieval Europe, St Andrews is one of the most beautiful and historic places in Scotland. But it's also one of the most haunted. Veiled nuns and hooded monks have been seen around the old religious buildings, while phantom pipers, the apparition of an archbishop and even a paranormal pig stalk the ancient streets. Did the White Lady of the Haunted Tower cause a student to lose his mind in the 1960s? Does the Screaming Skull of Greyfriars still pour forth its curses? Join paranormal expert Geoff Holder in an exploration of the darker side of St Andrews.
