The Story
A reenactor’s account published by Haunted Places describes an unseen presence in the front-right bastion, sometimes felt as hostile or following people out. Curiously, participants portraying Scottish regiments are said to encounter a friendlier, more inquisitive atmosphere in the same part of the fort. Firsthand-style submission signed Graves; interpretation is not historical verification.
