Glasgow’s Hidden Haunting: The Gibson Street Poltergeist

In the summer of 1958, something strange stirred in a Glasgow tenement.

Three American students, renting a modest flat on Gibson Street, began experiencing something they couldn’t explain - and would never forget. It started with faint, indistinct voices echoing through empty rooms. Then came the sudden crashes, the faulty radio playing on its own, and the sense that they were not alone.

This was no ordinary haunting.

In this episode, we uncover the account of the Gibson Street poltergeist - a case that left its mark on those who lived through it. But the story doesn’t end there. More than a decade later, a climber named Phil MacNeill would encounter something deeply disturbing at a remote Highland bothy - only to return home to neighbouring 39 Gibson Street and discover the nightmare wasn’t over. A hidden trapdoor. A strange, newspaper-lined chamber beneath the kitchen. And a name that links it all.
