[edit] The Secret of Glamis Castle

Maddy was here bicthhhh. From Mr. Suenta's class for a projectt.=].The family that still owns and operates Glamis Castle has been able to keep whatever they have in that room tucked away for 600 years. I have two opinions to offer being that Glamis has been a passion of mine since I was small and visited it when vacationing in Scotland when I was 8. One, logic would tell us that when this legend came to into being the aristocracy was on its way out of power in the UK. The secret chamber the story, the whole initiation of every male family member when they hit their 18th birthday could very well be just an extremely elaborate family hoax to hold on to some sort of aristocratic infamy. There very well may be a secret chamber but if anything at all was ever in it it'd probably dead otherwise it'd be about 600 some odd years old. I live in kind of a creapy house, whats to stop me from walling up a bathroom and making a fortune off of a legend ? Then o course there is the off-beat chance that there really is something paranormal in there... I'm a very religious person and definatly believe that the devil can do a lot of things, and afterall posessing inanimate objects is a lot easier than people, because inanimate objects don't have souls and will power. I'm sure however, that if it is a hoax, some vigilante will crack it sooner or later, and if its not, then lets pray it stays in there. However, I would proabbly bet that whatever it is, isnt dangerous because why would the family subject their loved ones to something harmful ?

Isnt the initiation on thier 21st? and also the monster child in some iterations of the story was supposed to have lived until 1906 or so, making it bloody old. Although I have read that the widely beleived birthyear of the monster is 1821, but the myth is older than that isnt it...

Whats all the stuff about posession anyway? Cant god and the devil in religious myth only convince people to do good/evil things through strong suggestive powers and not directly control them or objects

[edit] Who wrote this page?

Whoever wrote this page is illiterate....the grammar, misuse of apostrophes and odd syntax actually made me cringe!

I have copyedited the article, and removed unsourced quotes and irrelevant material. Hope this helps. -- TinaSparkle 13:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Unfortunate Card Player

I'd always thought the comment that brough Satanic wrath on him was 'I'll keep playing until judgement day' Therefore him being locked in a room playing cards for eternity.--172.141.214.103 15:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
