SIGHTINGS of ghosts in Greenock Town Hall could prove to be a tourism bonanza, it was claimed today.
Various strange goings-on linked to the psychic world have been reported in the building.
Now a Greenock man who investigates things that go bump in the night believes many people would like to visit the hall to see for themselves ? and he also wants to hear about your spooky experiences.
John Davidson has featured in the Tele in recent years making predictions about various events that turned out to be true. He describes himself as a ?cartomancer? ? someone who uses tarot and playing cards, as well as numerology, to predict what is about to happen.
He said: ?I think the town hall experiences could be used to promote Greenock to a huge number of individuals, who, like me, go around the country investigating sightings.
?The town hall experiences could be put on the council?s website and it would be a quite natural tie-up with the Myths and Legends Festival.?
John pointed out ghosts and spooky places are big business around Scotland, attracting visitors to Edinburgh?s Old Town, The Fairy Glen on Skye, Sallochy Wood at Loch Lomond, the Necropolis in Glasgow and Dunrobin Castle at Golspie. Provost Michael McCormick said: ?There has certainly been a lot of interest following the Tele?s coverage. I?m sure the interest in the Municipal Building ghosts will continue.
?Inverclyde is steeped in history and this was highlighted during the Myths and Legends Festival, which reminded us of stories of Auld Dunrod, the Ghostly Captain of Lunderston Bay and the Bogle of Bogleston.?
John does spiritual healing and often hears ghostly stories from Inverclyde people. Now he is asking Tele readers if they have any ghostly incidents they want him to investigate.
