    There's a hidden chamber in Fyvie Castle's charter room, but but no one knows what's in it because trying to open its door will invoke a terrible curse. The curse is very specific: death to the lord of the castle or blindness to his wife if anyone disturbs it.

    After an episode series called “Castle Ghosts of Scotland”, back, like, 25 years ago, or so, my mom and I have joked that Fyvie is “our” castle, as two clans Gordon lived there at non-consecutive times, Gordon being the family name of my mother’s father, who lived in Scotland. I always am interested in the mysteries inside Scotland, and most especially from Fyvie castle. Thank you for your most interesting accounts!

      Hosted by Robert Hardy? It’s on Prime, but it’s now called Historic Hauntings and they took Robert Hardy off screen. His narration is still there, but the parts where he appears on camera aren’t. Don’t know why, he sometimes provided much needed context. I’m glad I bought the dvd.

    Thank you so much for posting! Lord Fyvie and Dame Lilias Drummond are on my family tree. Along with Grizella, of course, Dame Lilias’ young cousin whom Lord Fyvie (Alexander Seton) married as soon as his wife was dead and out of the way. Rumor says he starved her to death in one of Fyvie Castle’s towers, but of course we’ll never really know. But if Dame Lilias Drummond’s “autograph” on the window ledge is any indication, that may very well be true!

The Lilias Drummond story is one of the tales that always intrigued and scared me the most. Would love to make a trip to Fyvie sometime but if I saw her in the mirror I don't know how I'd react.

    Living close to Fyvie. I have experienced paranormal activity there. When I was young, I felt a presence walking behind me. When I stayed at Fyvie guide house, I saw a gray lady in my dreams, I still remember it to this day,, Naturally being young it spooked me a bit. When I was watching an episode of "Most Haunted" when it was coming from Fyvie, I saw a young red-haired man in 13ish C. clothes in my back garden. I am just 8 miles up the road.

    Interesting video. I enjoyed it. I encountered two ghosts in England when I was growing up. The first encounter I had was when I was thirteen years old I encountered a ghost man dressed in 14th century clothing in the tower of london. Back in 1994. All he did was smile at me, and then he vanished. In 1999. I encountered my second ghost of a man in Winchester Cathedral England dressed in World War 1 or 2 clothing. When I saw him. He started to have a conversation with me. I was so shocked at first. When I turned my back for a few seconds he vanished I never saw him after that. I'll never forget those days. I'm from Canada and I also had four more ghostly encounters in Canada. Next video in the future could you do Winchester Cathedral England. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day 😊

    So if the castle is owned by a trust, then why not open that chamber seeing as the “curse” is obviously dependent on an owner and or his wife? I mean seeing as there isn’t any of those now as it’s owned by that trust to me that takes the teeth right out of the curse. Since I guess the owner would be the British people I highly doubt that a curse could take EVERYONE. And if it could everybody was screwed to begin with.
