Boleskine House, located near Foyers on the southeastern shore of Loch Ness in Scotland, has a long and dark history. Built in the late 18th century, the manor gained notoriety in the early 20th century when it was owned by occultist Aleister Crowley. Crowley purchased the property in 1899 to perform an elaborate magical ritual known as the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, which he believed would summon his Holy Guardian Angel.

During Crowley’s ownership, strange occurrences were reported. A local butcher allegedly severed his hand while preparing meat for the house. Crowley’s housekeeper’s young daughter died suddenly, and a workman is said to have gone mad. Crowley himself claimed the ritual unleashed dark forces, leading him to abandon the property in 1913.

In the 1960s, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page acquired Boleskine House, drawn by its connection to Crowley. During Page’s ownership, caretakers reported inexplicable events, including doors opening and closing on their own, and strange sounds echoing through the halls.

Documented paranormal activity includes sightings of shadowy figures, disembodied voices, and unexplained cold spots. Visitors have reported feeling an oppressive atmosphere and sensing unseen presences. Some claim to have seen a man in old-fashioned dress walking the grounds, believed to be the ghost of Aleister Crowley.

In 2015, a devastating fire severely damaged Boleskine House, leaving it in ruins. Despite this, paranormal investigators continue to report unusual phenomena in the vicinity of the property, including electronic voice phenomena (EVP) recordings and anomalous photographs. The land surrounding Boleskine House is said to have a long history of dark events predating Crowley’s ownership, including a 17th-century church fire that killed the entire congregation.
