The Journey
South Bridge Vaults
Descend into the shadowy depths of the South Bridge Vaults, a labyrinth of chambers beneath Edinburgh's bustling streets. Constructed in the late 18th century, these vaults once housed taverns, workshops, and even illicit businesses. Over time, they became a haven for the city's destitute and criminal underworld, and stories of paranormal activity abound. Explore these atmospheric spaces and uncover tales of restless spirits, unexplained occurrences, and the echoes of lives long past, making it a must-visit for thrill-seekers and history enthusiasts alike.
Covenanter's Prison, Greyfriars Graveyard
Step into the chilling confines of the Covenanter's Prison within Greyfriars Kirkyard, a somber reminder of Scotland's religious conflicts. During the 17th century, this section of the graveyard served as a prison for Covenanters, Presbyterians who refused to accept the authority of the king over the church. Subjected to harsh conditions and persecution, many met their end within these walls. Today, the prison is known as one of the most haunted locations in Scotland, with reports of poltergeist activity and unexplained phenomena. Visit to pay respects to those who suffered for their beliefs and experience the eerie atmosphere that lingers within this historic and haunted place.
