Cursed Objects: Tallman Bunk Beds

A painting created in 1972 by artist William Stoneham took the internet by storm. Not because of it's intricate detail and symbolism, but because it was cursed. The family who owned during the 2000's listed it on eBay, a listing that was plastered all over the news and internet. Was this painting really haunted, let's find out. All Links: www.scottishandscared.com

Chillingham Castle is titled the most haunted castle in England and in the top ten in the world. I was lucky enough to spend the night there learning about the bloody and violent history that the thick stone walls had bore witness to. It's no surprise this place is home to over 100 ghosts. Listen in while I tell you a few of their stories and find out if I saw any of Chillingham's otherworldly residents.

This story is one of my favourites. Taken from Elliott O'Donnell's Scottish Ghost stories, published 1911. This collection of stories was gifted to me as a child and I still have them to this day. One that particularly scared me was the Floating Head of Benrachett Inn, so listen in as I tell you a tale that made the adolescent hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

We are back in the US of A for another cursed object. This time our objects is a set of bunk beds. As a child who slept in a bunk bed I can safely say they are somewhat cursed already, with burst lips, broken legs and skinned knees, but the Tallman family faced not a physical curse but a spiritual one. From the minute the bed was moved into the house the family where plagued with violent visions and otherworldly threats. Join us as we discuss the strange case of the Tallman bunk beds.Contact Us:Website: www.scottishandscared.comEmail: [email protected]: @scottishandscaredpodYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ScottishAndScaredPodcast

There seems to be no shortage of hauntings in our Capital City. We are back in Edinburgh for a rather disturbing chain of events in the City's West end.
