Quick Booking For Today And Tomorrow

  • Explore the sinister depths of Edinburgh's shocking past
  • Hear the anguished whispers of those doomed to walk the earth for evermore
  • Watch the shadows dance in the candlelit Underground Vaults

Our special late night ghost walk is for adults only and those who are not of a nervous dispositon.  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 quite sure 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.

    • Why does the sinister spirit of a wicked warlock haunt the West Bow?
    • Who is the mysterious and menacing ghost in Bell's Wynd?
    • Which house in the New Town was haunted by an evil, malevolent spirit and perhaps still is?

All our ghost tours visit the Underground 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 any intrusion.  While you are down there, whatever you do, do NOT wander off alone… You have been warned!
