Scotland is supposedly notorious for hauntings. There was an underground city during the 1800's in Edinburgh. The stories depict people living in horrendous conditions and tremendous amounts of debauchery. Women would kill their husbands and sell the body for scientific research. They called it bodysnatching. There are stories of devil worshipping and sacrificial blood ceremonies as well. There were brothels, illegal pubs and pretty much anything else you can imagine. This is also where most people were sent if they had the plague and they were basically left to die. The tunnels are extremely haunted, or so they say.
The ghost tour I went on was guided by a gothic Scottish girl who did these for fun. This place has been featured on every paranormal TV show you can imagine. We entered the tunnel and it was set up to be creepy as hell. She set the mood by talking about all kinds of scary shit. It's dark and the air is moist. There are no lights and it feels like the perfect ghost story. We walk through the tunnels and into the first vault. She explains that this vault is notorious for hauntings. She is really making this already creepy place even creepier. She tells stories of people becoming possessed on her tours and twice all of the people breaking into hysteria and pinning her against a wall. It sucked to be in there. It was oppressive and my entire body wanted to get the fuck out of there as quickly as I could. You can tell that people are scared. Nobody wants to be last as we walk through the tunnels and everyone is squishing together in a big room. I am not going to pretend to be brave. I was scared. We finally leave the underground city and go to the cemetery. There is a section closed off to the public that was once a concentration camp. A lot of people died here and there are supposed poltergeists. Violent hauntings. At this point we enter into a private area of the cemetery and she makes us get inside of a room. She starts explaining why this place is closed off. A woman was brutally attacked by a ghost and nearly died. Everyone is silent, they are on high alert and suddenly a man with a mask jumps into the door way and everyone screams. I screamed. For the first time in my life I actually screamed from being frightened. Once I realized I had just been duped by a dude in a mask I yelled "Mother fucker!" So maybe Scotland isn't so haunted after all.
