The trials ended. The executions stopped. But according to the ghost stories, some of North Berwick’s dead never really left.
In this bonus episode of Loreplay, we’re heading back to Scotland to dig into the hauntings and paranormal legends that linger in the shadow of the North Berwick Witch Trials. From Agnes Sampson, better known in ghost lore as “Bald Agnes”, and her alleged appearances at Holyrood Palace, to the spirits, strange encounters, and centuries-old stories attached to the places touched by Scotland’s witch-hunting past, we’re looking at what happened when horrific history eventually became haunted history. And this time, there’s an important question hanging over all of it: are these really ghost stories… or are they one of the ways we’ve kept the memories of people like Agnes alive after history tried so damn hard to erase them? Either way, if anyone earned the right to haunt a royal palace, it’s Agnes fucking Sampson. Welcome back to North Berwick.
