Luibeilt Bothy

Luibeilt Bothy

Luibeilt Bothy is a remote stone shelter located in the Scottish Highlands, nestled in a secluded glen near Loch Treig. Built in the 19th century as a shepherd’s hut, it later served as accommodation for workers constructing the nearby Loch Treig dam in the 1920s. The bothy fell into disrepair in subsequent decades before being renovated by the Mountain Bothies Association in the 1960s.

Luibeilt has gained notoriety for alleged paranormal activity. In 1969, two university students reported a terrifying experience while staying overnight. They claimed to hear unexplained footsteps and banging noises, and witnessed objects moving on their own. The students fled in panic, leaving behind their belongings.

Another incident occurred in 1973 when a hiker supposedly encountered a shadowy figure inside the bothy. The apparition allegedly spoke to him before vanishing into thin air. Some visitors have reported feelings of unease and being watched while staying at Luibeilt.

Local folklore suggests the bothy may be haunted by the ghost of a shepherd who died there in the 19th century. Other theories propose that lingering energy from the dam workers or ancient pagan rituals in the area could be responsible for the paranormal phenomena.

In the 1990s, the bothy’s door was reportedly found torn off its hinges multiple times, with no explanation for the damage. Some attribute this to supernatural forces, while skeptics suggest more mundane causes like severe weather or vandalism.

Despite its isolated location, Luibeilt’s reputation has drawn paranormal enthusiasts over the years, eager to experience its alleged haunting firsthand.
