The Glenluce Devil
From about 1654 the house of weaver Gilbert Campbell at Glenluce, Galloway, was troubled by stones thrown, clothes cut and a voice that argued with ministers, after a beggar was refused alms.
1654 CE · 54.88, -4.82 · status: account
The account
George Sinclair printed the account in 1672 and later in 'Satan's Invisible World Discovered' (1685). The Campbell family was even brought before the presbytery.
The sceptical view
Suspicion fell on the Campbells' teenage son; many poltergeist cases centre on an adolescent.
