Ghost Tour of Edinburgh
Prepare to delve into the chilling mysteries of the Scottish capital. Meet us at the High and Cockburn Streets intersection and get ready for a ghostly tour!
Our first stop of the day will be Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh's haunting cemetery. Here, amidst the resting (or perhaps not-so-restful) remains of the city's distinguished and less distinguished citizens, you'll encounter tales of unquiet spirits and centuries of paranormal phenomena. We'll unveil the most spine-tingling stories before retracing our steps.
Then, it's time to head underground as our ghostly guide eagerly awaits to take you through the haunted Edinburgh Vaults. As your eyes adjust to the crypt's dim lighting and the strange sounds filling the air, we'll hear secrets and legends above the underground streets of Edinburgh.
We'll climb back up from underground and return to the starting point after our bone-chilling 75-minute adventure. If you've experienced anything unusual during the tour, rest assured it's all part of the atmospheric experience... or is it?
