In Scotland

Spirits of the past

 I spent half of the day looking in the wrong area for an RAF ghost, today.  The confusion came from knowing the station in mind started with "M."

 My initial search was for   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Machrihanish,  this station is on the East coast, near Glasgow. I found out my search should have been for RAF Montrose, near Dundee  rafmontrose.org.uk/. The Montrose ghost is the ghost of the first aviator to die during#WW1  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Arthur.

 Although my ghost stories are of #WW2, I wrote two ghost stories about the air war in Europe. The Lost Years  www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EXRTC3W is about the ghost of a pilot trapped in his plane; the spirit can't be freed because the body is yet to be recovered.

Amelia www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01A93CQ1S is the story of a nurse who left her home after her boyfriend died in a plane crash, and whose spirit is trapped in the rubble of bombed hospital.

 In another Scottish ghost story, the ghost of a scorned lover returns to bring justice for her family in Janie's return  www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AUY32Q0.

My original concept for Amelia wasn't for a romance, the original short story was planned to be based on a discussion between friends, on how to advrtise the plans for a new hotel.
One man was not happy the site had a ghost, while the other man wanted to advertise the new billding as a ghost tour.
