Abandoned House Of The Missing Witch | Hidden In The Scottish Highlands For Decades

#Abandonedhouse #Abandonedplaces
We explore an abandoned house that sits beside the sea, behind years of overgrowth it hides, a decaying home with strange contents.
Upon entry we are greeted by police tape across the front porch, as we enter we find a creepy doll sitting on the chaise lounge.
A voodoo doll lies on the dining table, a mummified cat on the kitchen floor.
The rotting bedroom has a witches dress hung on the wardrobe door.
The previous inhabitants remain a mystery that left us feeling intrigued.

hate to dampen the vibe but its not a witches house its a doctors house. The winder beside the fireplace would be to open and close the vent for he fire. Mahjong is a game using small tiles, a bit like dominoes. This is a great find .. beautiful furniture

Absolutely cool place ❣️ I would imagine the handle by fireplace would be used to open the flue. In the dining room, the item in the buffet drawer is a nutcracker. The ends are used to pick tiny particles of the nutshell off of the "meat". I noticed the pump organ. The white knobs are used to pressurize wind in or out for sound effects. ☺️

The dwellers were academic. They would have been very interesting to meet. Shame about the cat, it must have died after the property was abandoned? I often wonder what you sense, deep inside, as if the property speaks to you? The winder handle might have been a bell-pull? I really am just guessing. Sometimes curtains were opened and closed in this way. Good to see you two beautiful souls.

Where I lived it appeared to be the case, my Family went to the White kirk ( not sure of spelling) it was also known as the "high Kirk" when I moved to England we went to the Catholic Church, the kirk was a very strict place back then you had to go as if you didn't you would be Ostracised by the Locals,

This little house had a spooky feel, but its a natural decay beauty. So much old furniture and belongings no one has collected, its a shame.

[@whitewitch1105]

It is a tragedy that beautiful items in these homes can't be saved. It's disheartening to watch History decay. So much craftsmanship left to the elements.

[@jenn_rexitron]

Handle on the wall was actually used to lower and raise an original chandelier. Pre electricity, a rig system was usually run through the ceiling and down next to fireplaces so that lighting candles was easier. I know most comments are that it was to ring servants, but due to the lack of additional rooms and low basement, this home more than likely didn't have a staff of more than a housekeeper at most.

[@adamprice9214]

This is really interesting.. my thoughts initially where it was for a baffle plate in the flue to alter draw and to close the pot's to stop cold air entering when not in use.. I really wanna know there true purpose now🤦🙃😆

[@sallybutton6237]

The tool in the drawer is a nutcracker, probably around 100 years old, I have the exact same one that belonged to my grandparents. The name at the top of the magazines found in the bedroom would’ve been written on by the newsagent so they would know who had ordered it. In the past you would have magazines & newspapers put by for you to collect & the shop owner wrote your name on your copy. I would imagine the house was built in the 1800’s.

[@sarahstrong7174]

That "rug" is a carpet. That is how carpets were before carpets were fitted off a roll of carpeting. Carpets were woven individually.

What a gem it's so nice to see no vandalism

[@shastascorner3430]

Hi you two! Another great find. The tiny cups in the beginning are for demitasse, a really strong, very sweet coffee. Usually drunk in the Middle East. Mah Jongh is a game played with stones or glass pebbles on a board with dips in it. Very strategic. Big in the Orient. Gorgeous Singer. I love how you find them in so many of these old places. I had an old foot pedal one with all attachments and loved it. Great exercise for the legs! Doctor of Divinity is the study of theology with advanced knowledge of the Bible. He was a very learned man according to the multiple doctorates he achieved. The dental looking thing in the drawer is a nutcracker, the pick part is to get the walnuts out easier after cracking open. So sad about the cat. I can imagine it never left, always waiting for it's owner to return. Though there are creepy looking things, there are simple explanations for them that don't include witchcraft. The "black witch's dress" is a mourning over cloak worn for presiding over funerals, like a priest's over gown. The Schoolgirls' Own mags were a pleasure to see again. So sad to see all the decay, but I can just imagine what a wonderful place this used to be! Sorry for going on so long, but hope I helped answer some of your questions and misconceptions. Great find! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@kathryndempsey7345]

So many beautiful details....I would love to do this place up. Elegant...but still friendly vibes...gorgeous white trims, large windows letting in the light, rambling "secret garden"....almost like a film set of a long forgotten abode. I think there were many happy years spent here. Loved this one guys. Thank you.xx❤️🌼

[@lizstevenson7801]

This is definitely not a witches house. The doll on the lounge is a very old doll. When you laid the doll flat the eyes would close and the lids would become stuck, break off inside the head so the doll had no eyelids when sitting upright. The handle next to the fireplace would have been to open or close the chimney vent. The black dress hanging on the wardrobe door would be a thick heavy funeral dress the lady would have changed clothes after the service judging by the Christmas decorations it would have been winter and bitterly cold there. The doll in the plate has been set up by someone and is an old fashioned wooden doll with no clothes on. The bundle of what looked Like twigs bound together are dried or either fresh herbs and burned to purify the air after a death, Witches and Wise Women or even just us older women use them to burn and cleanse. The dead animal corpse tells me the story looks like the husband died the kids grew up and moved away, the Lady of the house maybe died but being on her own maybe was not found for days or weeks the family pet would never leave her so just laid down to die with her. Hence the police tape as this would have had to be investigated (even years back) by a Coroner. Just a beautiful old house left to decay.

[@jacquiatha6415]

[@patmurphy389]

[@adamprice9214]

The winding handle next to the fire place may well have been for a damper in a chimney.. essentially a cast iron valve to open and close the chimney to alter the draw I guess and you can close off completely when not in use so you don't draw cold air in through the pot's into the house.. quite an unusual but clever piece of engineering for the time..

[@claireb4259]

Yes, that's what I thought as we had one in our chimney when I was a child.

[@karengumke387]

The rusty utensil in the drawer with the pointed end on one handle looks like an old-fashioned nutcracker. You put the nut between the two handles to break the shell, then use the curved, pointed end to pick out the nutmeat. Other explorers set up the table, the white rose in the vase, the whatever it was on the plate, the thing hanging from the lamp, and such. I wish they would just leave things as they find them instead of trying to create a scene as if it was something the people who lived there had left. Seems like that happens a lot.

[@claireb4259]

Yes, the table looks to have been staged by previous explorers, and the doll was placed there for sensationalism. There really isn't anything sinister about this house's past.

[@katlowe1228]

It really amazes me how you guys find places like these that are untouched, just stood still in time with things like cups and saucers, plates, cutlery, sugar bowls and milk jugs still on a table as though the owner has just popped to the shops lol This house is amazing, the furniture is beautiful and would have been so expensive back in the day, such a shame its all been left for nature to take.

And Sam, Mah-Jong is actually a game so that was probably the lid from the game box!

[@sarahstrong7174]

I realise you were probably just joking but I am not sure you should have used the term 'witch'. It might actually have been very offensive to the person who lived in this house. Unfortunately it has come to have negative connotations. Though it refers in fact to widely differing people.There are some people who use the term who would seek to have power other others & not always in the best way. There are others who are very humble & respectful people who lead lives as strict as any monk or nun, for they beleive that any type of energy they give out towards others come back to them tenfold, so they cannot afford to have angry, resentful, or violent thoughts towards others but must conciously mind their thoughts in every moment. Such are often very good people who are possessed of great creative & healing abilities. The awareness they must foster leads to much self development. This was an interesting explore & has lead to me wondering where I am in my own development.
