Ever since listening to the excellent uncanny podcast about two climbers ghostly experience at Luibeilt, I have been intrigued to visit. This old deer stalkers cottage and bothy is now a ruin but lies in the middle of nowhere, miles and miles away from the nearest civilisation. Would we get through the night without any ice axes being thrown in our direction?

What a fantastic video and even better you being where I’ve wanted to visit since listening to the episode about luibeilt. Uncanny are doing a live tour at the moment if you would like to go and listen to some ghost stories. Really enjoy our videos thanks for sharing.👻
Some nice fire side stories, thanks Murray & Ray!
Another top trip Murray, thoroughly enjoyed that one.
What a fantastic location for a Halloween episode Murray 🎃👌. The old bothy certainly had a spooky look to it. You and Ray are braver than us staying there overnight! Loved the ghost stories over a wee dram and a campfire 🏕 🔥 👻. Particularly the stories involving the telephone going, how strange, but we definitely feel there was something more than coincidence at play there. At least it is a comforting thought that our loved ones that have passed on are still looking out for us 😊🙏. In the daylight, this place really was stunning, worth the adventurous route in for sure. Pete worked in a bike shop for ten years, he may have muttered that you do need a new bike before your brakes went at the end of the video, predicting the future, now that's spooky 👻😂.
Thanks for another great adventure, we really enjoyed this😊

Great video as always. It’s great to listen to you and Ray having a chat
Great watching you two individually! But love it when you team up! Great vlog!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gosh taking your bikes up there must have been tough. Ive walked up there, and its hard walking never mind taking a bike. Not been as far as Luibeilt looks amazing, and remote, as you say. We used to live in a 16th century house, it was full of unusual happenings. They didnt frighten us though. Too much to tell on here. So i'll leave you guessing 😅 thank you and Ray for the stories take care……. Alioban 👻☠
Crackin video Murray. I find bothies spooky anyway never mind Luibelt. The Uncanny tale is great stuff whether you believe or not. Incidentally what is the other wee building in the background?
Just watched this .. Great ! Loved the ghost stories abd the craic was great fun between you and Ray .The morning photography stunning as ususl Murray 😊😊😊
Cracking excursion, although I fear those spooky noises may well have been a Renegade Scot!
My Mother Drowned in Troon harbour in 1986 and her body washed up on the south beach. I went back to Troon on Sunday the 29th for the first time since1995-I placed some flowers on the beach and then headed to Kinloughleven for the week. The Strange thing is I couldn’t get luibeilt out of my head all week and I was completely unaware that you were at luibeilt on the 31st . I had listened to that uncanny episode a while ago and it had a profaned affect on me. I just happen to put in into YouTube on my return and found your video.
I did enjoyed the video

Excellent video. Loved the start. Never trust a man who says "let's go the direct way, it will be fine" 😀
Amazing video! Luibelt is even more picturesque than I imagined… The mountains are just stunning. Luibelt is probably my favourite Uncanny case, so it's great to see it for real. Great work, folks! 👻😊
The lighting at night in this video was fantastic, with your 'dancing' shadows cast on the walls of the bothy by the camping stove. Very atmospheric! 😊👻
Well that was different Murray. Wild country. I reckon the mind does play tricks when you are aware of potentially haunted environment. Everywhere has a history after all. Think I might give it a miss thanks
Great video, as always! I have to be totally honest and say that I had to fast forward through the ghost stories lol (I wish I was joking!)
I was camped in a lonely spot in Knoydart a few years back. It had been a long and exhausting day on the peaks and my nerves were a bit jittery. Anyway, I'm lying in my tent in the pitch dark and everything is very still… until I hear a slow footfall approaching, it sounds very close, with the final and forceful step just at the tent door, where it stops. This is it, I thought, grabbing my penknife and shouting a challenge. No reply. I swear I could hear my heart thudding. I unzipped my inner tent, and there, in my vestibule, was… my backpack. It had slowly fallen over from the upright position I'd left it in (in the long grass) but had done so in several 'steps', the last one being the loudest as it went horizontal. Everything peaceful outside the tent. My mind had embellished the sequence of sounds as approaching footsteps and they seemed utterly real to me at the time. Just goes to show.
Great vid Murray – I don't believe in this stuff but it still gave me the heebie-jeebies. Glad you were safe, but I could have told you that it's only hikers wearing bright orange trews that the ghouls are interested in…
It made me sad to see the house in that state. With 3 chimneys it must have been warm and welcoming at one time. I also felt sad for whatever haunts it, if anything. But I enjoyed watching, so thank you. It is a seriously beautiful location and it's lovely to see somewhere pylon-free.
The curtains fell down in my livingroom years ago 20mins later i got a call from my mother's cousin to tell me my grandfather had passed away literally at nearly the same time the curtains fell from the window.
Your figure with red eyes reminded me of the darkest evening I've ever been out on – instructor training in the Rhinogs in the 80s -left my dog in the minibus as I had to go back from the campsite later. One group of instructors didn't arrive at the site before dark & some of us went down to the bus & they were there. They said after they'd seen endless green eyes (sheep) in their lights they were so glad to see a pair of red eyes – this eas how my dog's eyes looked in a torch.
I was out with Scouts orienteering on the fell area above my Lakeland village & I saw a really bright white light shining from behind me – turned round assuming a Scout was arriving -no one there & no light & no one else had seen it!
Braver than me! We visited a local one the other day in Northumberland amd caught a.spooky image in a photo! Brutal bike in! Lovely location nonetheless 😊
Great film Murray. …. As for Ghosts. I've had two experiences both in an old signal box on my own. But I reckon we definitely add 1 plus 1 and get 5 with some of these things. If I ever bump into you on a cold dark night I'll tell you mine 😂. Looking forward to my next few camps winter is definitely my favourite. And it's been a sparse year for me and my mountain trips.
Nicely do e as always and good to see you teaming up with Ray 🙂
In 2016 my brother passed away in his house alone. My dad found him on a Monday morning (16th). We were all naturally distraught, and the thought of not knowing how long he had been there played deeply in my parents' mind. We expected the death to have happened in the early hours of the Sunday, which was the 15th despite the death certificate stating the 16th. Exactly one year later, on the 15th at 2.45 am, my parents were woken by a noise from the attic room, where my brother regularly slept. My dad made his way to the room and discovered the TV had switched itself on. It had never done this before and never did it again.
Strange how all ghost stories are people and 18'th century or later…never hear of ghost dinosaurs or deer/rabbits etc. !
Spooky 👻 😊
Yes, after my granny died I had a dream she rang me and said, Immy, I am not dead.
So sorry to hear about Rae's dad.
I had a very visual spooky encounter years ago. I wrote a story about it which was published in The Great Outdoors magazine in 1993. I'll tell it later. But enjoying your tales. Take care
