World Famous, Award Winning, Underground City & Haunted Graveyard Tours
(featuring the legendary Mackenzie Poltergeist)
Researched and designed by best-selling historical author and award winning novelist Jan-Andrew Henderson, our walks enter two of the most haunted locations on earth and combine the weirdest stories, wickedest humour and wildest history.
‘Will set your imagination RUNNING WILD…. led by a mixture of historians and thespians whose ability to scare is as refined as their ability to WEAVE a GOOD YARN… laced with enough HORROR to leave you sleeping with the lights on for a week’ The Entertainment Guide
Named ‘One of the Britain’s Best Ghost Walks’ by Scare.com, Yahoo! Travel and Virgin Media, ‘One of the UK’s Spookiest Tours’ by The Sun Newspaper, ‘One of Edinburgh’s top 10 Attractions' by USA Today and ‘Edinburgh’s Best Ghost Tour’ by Lonely Planet. Short-listed for the prestigious Screamie Awards (3 times), winner of ScareTour’s ‘Best Ghost Tour Award', highly recommended by TripAdvisor (including ‘Best Halloween Event’) and awarded the Viator Badge of Excellence.
Which proves good doesn’t always triumph over evil.
