Curse Of The Scottish Fyvie Castle That Survived Generations
|A. Sutherland – AncientPages.com – This castle is located about 30 miles (50 km) north-west of Aberdeen, Scotland, and is known as the Fyvie Castle. It’s an ancient structure because its foundations were laid before the Norman Conquest in 1066. Since the 14th century, only five prominent families had been in possession of this haunted building.
When Thomas finally appeared before the front of the castle, his arrival was accompanied by a violent storm.
An individual known as Thomas the Rhymer (c. 1220 – 1298) is related to the castle, but he is shrouded in myths, legends, and superstition. According to Peter of Langtoft’s early 14th century ‘Chronicle,’ Thomas was a poet who foretold prophecies.
His prophecies foretold only unfortunate events, disasters, confusion, and bloodshed. He traveled much and visited many landowners, but he was never welcomed.
Thomas’ inevitable visit was also awaited in the Fyvie Castle, according to James Murray, the 19th-century editor of the five ancient manuscripts.
