Ghosts
Some believe Wemyss possesses, like a number of Scottish Castles, a "Green Lady". Green, in Scotland at any rate, has always been an unlucky colour, associated with death and misfortune. Particularly unfortunate is the girl who wears green on her wedding day. In the case of Wemyss, the ghost is that of a young woman wearing a trailing dress of green silk which rustles as she floats along the corridors within the castle. It is reported that her ghost has not in fact been seen for some years now, but no explanation for this is recorded.

Famous quotes containing the word ghosts:
“I couldn’t find the spot where Frank had hidden the bag with the clothes. You can’t imagine how cold I was until I found them. You know, I’m beginning to understand why ghosts moan so in this sort of weather.”
—Lester Cole (1904–1985)
“And ghosts then keep their distance; and I know some liberty.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
