Season two saw the time travelling couple spend the night in a village and it was in this filming location that spooky goings-on are said to have occurred. The bedroom scenes were shot in Culross Palace's Kings Room and witnesses have previously reported seeing odd things in the room and in other parts of the building. Although none of the crew experienced anything untoward during the shoot, there have been many strange incidents such as fire alarms inexplicably going off and sightings of ghostly figures. Linda Whiteford, who works for the National Trust Scotland and Culross Palace, revealed that whenever there are workmen at the 17th Century building things "kick off" among the spirits and that most of the strange incidents happen in the north block and the West Room.

Discussing the Kings Room, she said: "They were seeing little balls of light floating about the place. It wasn't just one person, it was several people at one time seeing these different colours and they're not the only ones." There was also a pirate-themed event in June at Culross Palace where some visitors felt a strange presence in the building: "One of the pirates said that he felt like he was being watched and somebody breathing down his neck as he was getting changed and he felt that he was being goosed [poked in the bottom] about three times in our north block." Linda also revealed that there was another incident in which a room was cleared of all furniture and mysteriously a dead swallow was found but there was nowhere for it to fall out of or from.

Culross Palace belonged to 16th century merchant George Bruce and both his ghost and that of his great-grandson Colonel John Erskine are said to haunt the it. "The north block was a Masonic lodge and there is a masculine feeling there," she explained, before going on to say: "I think Colonel John Erskine is very much around. I think he likes to have a lot of men there. He doesn't really care for the females so much but he likes to stomp about there." Linda added: "During my investigations I've heard his voice a couple of times and he's fascinating character." The scenes with Claire and Jamie in the bedroom from season two of Outlander took place back in November 2015.
