When I was little, all I would do was watch Scooby Doo. I eventually got the nickname Scooby, which most of my family and friends still call me. My initials are JR, so - scoobyzjr - the z is in there just for fun.

Ownership by Jimmy Page

From the early 1970s to well into the 1980s, Boleskine was owned by famed Led Zeppelin guitarist and Aleister Crowley enthusiast, Jimmy Page. In an interview he gave in 1975, Page explained:

[The house] was owned by Aleister Crowley. But there were two or three owners before Crowley moved into it. It was also a church that was burned to the ground with the congregation in it. And that's the site of the house. Strange: things have happened in that house that had nothing to do with Crowley. The bad vibes were already there. A man was beheaded there and sometimes you can hear his head rolling down. I haven't actually heard it, but a friend of mine, who is extremely straight and doesn't know anything about anything like that at all, heard it. He thought it was the cats bungling about. I wasn't there at the time, but he told the help, "Why don't you let the cats out at night? They make a terrible racket, rolling about in the halls." And they said, 'The cats are locked in a room every night." Then they told him the story of the house. So that sort of thing was there before Crowley got there. Of course, after Crowley there have been suicides, people carted off to mental hospitals...[1]

Page's fantasy sequence in the Led Zeppelin concert film The Song Remains the Same was filmed at night on the mountain side directly behind Boleskine House.
