This light-hearted yet spine-tingling experience is perfect for those curious about the city’s darker side, proving that things don’t only go bump in the night! Guided by a cloaked storyteller, you'll wander the shadowy closes of the Old Town before descending into the vaults, where true tales of murder, torture, and mischief unfold. No gimmicks or jump scares—just chilling stories rooted in real history. These damp, silent chambers once housed criminals, vagrants, and the desperate, and are said to still echo with restless spirits. From body snatchers to gruesome hangings, this is Edinburgh’s ghostly past brought vividly to life. Listen closely—you might just feel a flicker, a whisper, or a cold breath behind you…
