Back to Edinburgh for a walk through Greyfriars' Kirkyard at the southern edge of the Old Town. There are many crypts and mausoleums around the walls of the graveyard. Tales and rumours of hauntings abound here.
The infamous 'Bloody' George Mackenzie was buried there in 1691. The 'Mackenzie Poltergeist' is said to cause bruising, bites and cuts on those who come into contact with it and many visitors have reported feeling strange sensations. A number of deaths have taken place in the churchyard as well. We came through unscathed, but didn't linger over long either!
A statue of Greyfriar's Bobby, the loyal little dog who grieved by his master's burial site is set directly opposite the front gate of the graveyard.

Hey, I took some of those photos! You know how I know? That's my finger in the corner, over and over and over again! *facepalm*
ReplyDeleteAt least that way you know who took them, right?
