Ghosthunter Tour

Mercat Tours Ghost Tours, Edinburgh - Ghosthunter Tour - with VisitScotland.com

Details

Our special late night ghost walk is for adults only and those who are not of a nervous disposition. The Ghosthunter will take you to the darker side of the city of Edinburgh. This tour has been introduced by popular demand: by those who wanted a tour that would truly chill the spine. You will never be sure quite what or who awaits you in the dark narrow closes of the Old Town as your cloaked guide tells you tales of these ancient streets and their inhabitants.

All our ghost tours visit the Vaults beneath the South Bridge, but The Ghosthunter remains for the longest time. You will hear of the ghosts who haunt these dark chambers today – The Lady in Black and The Demon of the Double Height Room, and also hear of the strange and inexplicable experiences of our guides and visitors. Some of the spirits that allegedly haunt these vaults are sinister and malevolent and they resent intrusion. While you are down there, whatever you do, do NOT wander off alone… You have been warned!
