Unusual location of the Month: Edinburgh Ghost Tours
Well, if you believe in ghosts or not, believe these tours take you on an adventure that not only do you get to a part of the history of Edinburgh, but also leaves you just a little "weird." Feeling or if you're like me, scared are. I hate horror movies, because I find it incredible, but how Hitchcock knew a good fright comes from what people not see or know. When I left the cellar tour, I was so Spooked that I wanted from this night to sleep with the light. The only other time I had felt such restlessness after I saw The Blair Witch Project .
One of the most popular ghost tours is through the underground vaults. The underground vaults were built in 1788 and used as a warehouse and workshops for businesses near the Southbridge. However, the bridge was badly built, and water from the surface into the vault would be phased down. The vaults were then abandoned in 1795 and was slums, turning in a red light district with countless brothels and pubs. In addition, poor town this vaulted called home. The rooms were cramped and dark and had poorly placed air and no sunlight, running water or sanitation in circulation. Crime was widespread, but from 1820, was the leaking so intense that even the squatters left.
While many companies offer tours of the underground passageways, I went to the city of the dead. Your tour takes you through the ancient vaults, explains their history, describes some of the characters who lived in them, talks about spirits and spoils you with stories of people who have experienced a close encounter of the supernatural kind. The story I remember is the most, a girl and her mother. The little girl felt someone grab her hand. Thinking it was her mother, she grabbed back. But the hand, according to the story, "felt weird" and kept slowly squeezed her hand until it hurt. When the girl said, "You hurt me," the mother said, "I'm on, treasure here." The guide to move the torch to the girl found that she was alone. Who held her hand? As it has to be separated? I dont know. Maybe she has the story. Or all the other stories for that matter. But in the darkness to move through the vault, with the mind in overdrive, creating an atmosphere of unease that you want on a ghost tour. Of course, from the corner of the man in the dark does not help to jump at all.
But the real "spirit" experience is the tour MacKenzie Poltergeist, which takes you through Greyfriars cemetery. The MacKenzie Poltergeist is the most famous of Edinburgh ghost. George MacKenzie was responsible for the local prison in the 17th century and to pursue loved the Scots Presbyterians (Covenanters) - he was notorious for the joy in which he would send people to the gallows. After he died, he was buried near Covenanter prison in the cemetery. After a local homeless accidentally his coffin opened in late 1998, allegedly his mind the area began frequenting.
The tours run through the cemetery and around the prison area. There are many stories of people being scratched or attacked, feel sick or discover traces on her body the next day. It could all be psychosomatic, but a ghost tour through a "haunted" cemetery on Halloween? Perfect.
No matter what tour you go or if you believe in ghosts, like all good ghost tours, haunted houses, and Halloween exhibits, these make by playing on the innate fear of the unknown to feel uncomfortable. Are these places really pursuing? Is your mind playing tricks only for you? Did you cut yourself on a branch or MacKenzie claw actually on you? It does not matter. It is good to be a little anxious. These ghost tours are perfect for Halloween -. Or just scare yourself while in Edinburgh
