The pavilion boasts of rich history, having hosted famous visitors such as suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst and The Beatles. However, some believe the place is haunted following recent strange occurrences. BBC Scotland’s The Social and paranormal investigators tried to unravel this mystery.
The Highland Paranormal, a well-known paranormal society in the north of Scotland, had investigated over 180 sites across Scotland over the years. When the pavilion had been closed, internal CCTV had captured mist rising in the hall and lights turning off and on in the bar.

The investigators had equipment capable of providing clues to potential paranormal activity. They had EMF meters to detect changes in electromagnetic fields, audio recorders, and a camera. They also passed dowsing rods to members of the group to try. They asked ghost yes or no questions and moved the rods to answer.
Hayley Stevens, a researcher of paranormal activities for about 20 years, stated that voluntary muscle movements could cause dowsing rods to move. Hayley also said that spirit boxes’ frequencies pick up radio stations, creating an “audio illusion.” While both skeptics and believers might walk away from Strathpeffer satisfied, a cheeky ghost might have said “cheerio” during the packing up of equipment at the end of the investigation
