Hello everyone! There’s been a whirlwind of activity at Mostly Ghostly HQ and after a dizzying month of exciting developments, it’s time to stop, touch base and update you, our valued web visitors! Today, we shine the spooky spotlight on thriving Dalbeattie restaurant – The Granite Kitchen
Do you have a passion for delicious food, atmospheric surroundings and ghostly encounters? If so, pick up the phone and book your place for what promises to be a most memorable evening at the gorgeous Granite Kitchen in Dalbeattie. This innovative local eatery is known for it’s creative approach to cooking with Mexican, Scottish and French themes cropping up regularly on their culinary events list. With this in mind, I contacted the Kitchen’s talented owner, Amy McCaig to propose a paranormal partnership. Intrigued by our investigations and rich variety of exciting ghost tours, Amy invited us to come and speak amidst the cosy, locally inspired ambience of the Granite Kitchen.
Amy will be preparing a selection of mouth-watering tapas to tantalise the tastebuds in advance of our spooky presentation. Once guests have satisfied their appetites and are relaxing with a glass of wine (or two!), we will take them on a trip through our investigative careers from childhood inspiration to present day. With a back catalogue of varied locations including Gretna Green Visitor Attractions, Scotland’s most haunted road – the A75, the historic Auldgirth Inn and Scotland’s oldest working theatre, Dumfries Theatre Royal, there’s lots of stimulating content for guests to absorb.
Following a refreshing break, part two will see our journey continue with investigation findings and an introduction to our four unique tours; Dumfries Ghost Walk, Haunted Theatre Tour, Haunted Highways Tour and Legends and Lore at Lochmaben Castle. We conclude the evening with one of our favourite elements – a round of questions and answers, something we always look forward to as it provides a chance to learn as well as imparting our own knowledge. Guests at past events have raised all sorts of interesting queries and theories creating enthusiastic discussions in the process – food for thought…
One event aim is to discover new haunts, a big priority on any Mostly Ghostly gathering! We’ve been collecting local ghost stories for over six years now and are continually on the lookout for more. Our paranormal database is growing in diversity and will form the basis of my book on the ghosts and hauntings of Dumfries & Galloway. If anyone has a story on the night, we would be delighted to speak with you or arrange time for a chat afterwards. Equally, if you wish to share an experience but would prefer to keep personal details confidential, that is absolutely fine; we are simply thrilled to receive new accounts and appreciate all your ghostly contributions.
Mostly Ghostly and the Granite Kitchen look forward to welcoming you to our evening of paranormal delights! The evening kicks off at 7pm and tickets cost £20 (including complimentary glass of wine).
