The paranormal tour begins with an English-speaking guide leading you through the dark alleys of the city's Old Town. Brace yourself to learn cooking secrets from the infamous Cassandra Bean or delve into the morbid surgical ethics of Dr. Knox. As you traverse the historic St Giles Cathedral, discover the locations of the city's former parliament and a notorious jailhouse. Listen to the chilling tales of the harsh living conditions during the 17th and 18th centuries
The next part of the tour brings you to the eerie Greyfriars Kirkyard, a 450-year-old cemetery famous for its ghostly tales and petrifying poltergeists. Hear the chilling story of the loyal dog Greyfriar's Bobby, who guarded his master's grave for 14 years, and the infamous body snatchers Burke and Hare. The adventure continues underground to a former 17th-century close encapsulated within the South Bridge. Witness the original bridge arches, walls, and doorways of former houses, with the modern pavement visible through a skylight. The underground city is said to be haunted by the spirits of its former inhabitants - some who have refused to leave even after death.
