Gibson Street in Glasgow’s West End has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Originally developed as part of the city’s westward expansion, the street features a mix of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, including tenement buildings and former merchants’ homes.

The area has been associated with several ghostly encounters over the years. One of the most well-known spectral residents is said to be the spirit of a young woman in Victorian-era clothing, often spotted near the junction with University Avenue. Witnesses describe her as appearing distraught and vanishing when approached.

Another frequently reported apparition is that of an elderly man in early 20th-century attire, seen walking along the street before disappearing into thin air. Some locals believe he may be the ghost of a former shopkeeper who once operated a business on Gibson Street.

The Kelvin Hall, located nearby, has its own paranormal reputation. Staff and visitors have reported hearing inexplicable footsteps, seeing shadowy figures, and experiencing sudden temperature drops in various parts of the building.

In the 1980s, residents of a tenement building on Gibson Street reported poltergeist-like activity, including objects moving on their own and strange knocking sounds emanating from within the walls. These incidents sparked local interest and led to informal investigations by curious neighbors.

The street’s proximity to the River Kelvin has also contributed to its supernatural lore. Some claim to have seen the misty figure of a drowned person walking along the riverbank near Gibson Street, particularly on foggy nights.
