​‘Delivered EXPERTLY with the right balance of humour and horror’ Scarecon
 
Edinburgh's original Graveyard tour and still the best, combining the weirdest history with the wildest stories and wickedest humour.
This tour even has a unique gift shop – located in Greyfriars graveyard funeral parlour! You can go in after the tour and get yourself a creepy souvenir.
 
Best of all, City of the Dead has SOLE access to the Covenanter’s Prison and Black Mausoleum, lair of the infamous Mackenzie Poltergeist.®
An encounter with the poltergeist is the highlight of the tour, with hundreds of people claiming to have been attacked by the entity.
The Mackenzie Poltergeist is now world renowned as the best documented supernatural case of all time and the tour has become equally famous, subject of books, scores of television documentaries, newspaper articles and websites.
 
‘CREEPY doesn’t even begin to do justice to the Mackenzie Poltergeist’ Daily Mail
 
A careful blend of fascinating history and distinctive humour, culminating in a genuinely terrifying experience has made the Haunted Graveyard Tour a phenomenon. You can also read the story of the Mackenzie Poltergeist in the acclaimed non-fiction book The Ghost That Haunted Itself and the novel Father Figure by Jan Andrew Henderson. See our Book page for more details.
