Overview

Step into the shadowy underworld of Edinburgh, where restless spirits and dark history collide.

Explore Greyfriars Kirkyard, where the infamous Mackenzie Poltergeist terrorizes those brave enough to enter. Walk through the Covenanters’ Prison, a site of unimaginable suffering, and hear tales of vengeful spirits and eerie encounters. Beneath the leaning tombstones and weathered mausoleums, the dead do not rest quietly.

Descend into the South Bridge Vaults, Edinburgh’s hidden labyrinth where the city’s poorest once lived in misery. Now, these chambers echo with whispers of their pain and ghostly apparitions that still haunt the dark passageways.

As your guide reveals tales of plague victims, body snatchers, and witch trials, each step brings you closer to the city’s sinister past. But beware… many who wander these haunted grounds report chilling encounters with the unseen.

Do you dare to uncover Edinburgh’s darkest secrets? The spirits are waiting.
