Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre

Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre

Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre, located in Montrose, Scotland, stands on the site of Britain’s first operational military airfield, established in 1913. The station played a crucial role in both World War I and World War II, serving as a training base for pilots and a coastal defense outpost.

The centre’s buildings, including hangars and barracks, have a long history of reported paranormal activity. One of the most well-known ghostly inhabitants is Lieutenant Desmond Arthur, a pilot who died in a flying accident in 1913. Witnesses have reported seeing his apparition in period uniform walking around the airfield and inside buildings.

Another frequently encountered spirit is that of a World War II mechanic, often seen in the hangars working on aircraft. Staff and visitors have reported hearing phantom engine noises and the sounds of planes taking off when no aircraft are present.

The old officer’s mess is said to be haunted by the ghost of a nurse who worked at the station during World War I. People have reported seeing her figure in a white uniform walking through walls and hearing unexplained footsteps in empty corridors.

In the control tower, witnesses have described seeing the ghostly figure of a Royal Air Force officer staring out of the windows, as well as experiencing sudden cold spots and feelings of being watched.

The heritage centre’s collection of artifacts has also been associated with paranormal occurrences. Objects have reportedly moved on their own, and some visitors have claimed to feel overwhelming emotions when touching certain items, particularly those related to pilots who died in service.
