the haunted vaults in Edinburgh? I did the ghost tour there a few months ago, and although the guide scared the pants out of the group at the end of the tour, I found the whole concept fascinating. Whats the story behind the misogynistic violent poltergeist down there? Who was he supposed to be? What other history can anyone tell me of the Vaults? No sarky comments please - I just want to know the history of it all. No, it was the South Bridge Vaults I visited. Although any other ghost stories are fascinating, must admit. Might have to go to "Annies Room" next time I visit. Anywhere else worth seeing??

Can anyone tell me of haunted locations in and around Edinburgh ? I know the usual touristy areas ( the vaults, mary kings close etc ) but am looking for new places, pubs/hotels and so on. Could you also tell me any supposed phenomenon that occured etc.

Best Ghost Walk in Edinburgh? Im going to Edinburgh over Halloween and Im looking for the scariest ghost walk on offer. I was their earlier this year and did a ghost walk with Mr Adam Lyal which was good but it wasn't very scary. (It was more of a comical ghost walk with ''jumper-ooters'' rather than a terrifying one) We want do go on a night, and may do the Vaults or the graveyard but because there are so many tours to choose from, Im totally confussed as to which ones are good, which ones a properly terrifying etc Can somebody help me please?!! Thanks xx

Can any of you see something spooky in this photo? http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2037515&id=1064902872&l=1626dbcca1 I took it when I did a vaults tour in Edinburgh a few years ago and it looks like there is a grey face at the top of the picture.

Looking forward to Most Haunted Live from Edinburgh on Halloween? I certainly am, as a paranormal fanatic I shall be glued to the set....just hope they visit the vaults.! what are your feelings on Most Haunted?

Atheists :Science and Ghosts ? your thoughts ? " A chill in the air, low-light conditions and even magnetic fields may trigger feelings that "a presence" is in a room - but that is all they are, feelings ... ....They had to record any unusual experiences, such as hearing footsteps, feeling cold or a presence in the room, as well as marking the location and intensity of the experience on a floor plan..... .....The results were striking: participants did record a higher number of unusual experiences in the most classically haunted places of Hampton Court, areas such as the Georgian rooms and the Haunted Gallery. And in the Edinburgh vaults, the result was the same - the vaults considered most haunted were the locations where the most unusual encounters occurred during the study.... They claim, somewhat paradoxically, that the haunting exist but the ghosts do not. your thoughts ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3044607.stm Spiritualists interpret this as evidence that the ghosts are there, but another explanation is that the mediums are simply more sensitive to the environmental cues that result in haunted feelings - not sensitivity to the ghosts themselves.

Ghost Adventures, what channel is it on? (UK only please)? I just LOVE ghost adventures, Zak, Nick & Aaron are the best!!

Sad i know, but im a geek and love it. Cheers :-)

How do I plan a 17-day trip to the UK? I have plans to visit sometime in May next year. But there are so many sites to visit they're driving me crazy! I'd like to visit any of the following sites: Stonehenge London Eye London Dungeons Aves bury Westminster Abbey Buckingham Palace Hyde Park Museum of Natural History The Parliament Building Tower of London and London Bridge any theater in West End (I'm planning to watch the play "Wicked") Roman ruins in Bath Hadrian's Wall Chillington Castle Glamis Castle Main buildings in Edinburgh Underground vaults in Edinburgh Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon In your opinion, how do I squeeze these sites w/in a two-week schedule? If it's not possible, which sites do you think I could forego? It would be my first time to travel in this country. I'm a bit of a literature buff and am obsessed with spook folklore. Thanks.

Does this plot seem okay for me to continue writing a book about? It concerns a young boy who grows up in an underground vault, 400 years after a devastating nuclear war. The boy longs to see the outside after studying it on the computers in the vaults. After many failed attempts to the vault officials to see the outside, his family are killed. A vault officials daughter helps him escape through a secret door. On his way out of the vault he kills a few guards (by this time he is 17) and gets out and sees how ravaged the land is and notices that an old jumper belonging to his father was on the ground a few feet from the vault entrance... The story is set in Edinburgh as well just for any additional information. I seen someone said it reminded him of City of Ember, I've never actually seen the film or read the book just in case people start accusing me of stealing ideas.

Which Haunted Castle would you go to? Who and what would you bring? Edinburgh Castle in Scotland- This magnificent castle is typically medieval, perched atop a rocky crag, giving it an amazing vista of Scottish hills. But inside the empty halls and narrow streets of Edinburgh, there are the echoes of the dead. At least, that's what has been reported. Hot spots for specters include the castle's prison cells, the South Bridge vaults and Mary's King Close, a disused street used to quarantine and eventually entomb victims of the plague. There are also reports of ghost dogs, a headless drummer, and the bodies of prisoners taken during the French seven-year war and the American War of Independence. In fact, there was such a glut of reports that in 2001, a scientific research team headed by Dr. Richard Wiseman, a psychologist from the University of Hertfordshire, set out to find quantitative proof. Bran Castle in Transylvania- In a remote corner of Carpathian Mountains in Romania, the tale of Count Dracula played out. The legend of the count dates back to the 15th century, and is based on Prince Vlad Tepes (Vlad, the Impaler) or Vlad Dracula (Vlad, son of the Dragon), a ruthless defender of Christianity. The Count is best known for routing an army of 20,000 attacking Ottomans, and impaling them, rectum to sternum, in surrounding forests. In this bastion of gothic architecture it is possible to retrace the journey of Bram Stoker's vampire hunter, Jonathan Harker, along the Bargau Pass and up to Dracula's infamous Bran Castle. Brissac Castle Loire Valley, France- This particular castle is as ornate and indulgent as French castles get. With seven floors and over two hundred rooms, no expense was spared for this Loire Valley marvel when it was rebuilt in 1633. Ceilings are painted with gold and the tapestry collection is breathtaking, as is the wood-carved furniture and columns made of glass crystal. It wouldn't be a bad place to live, except for the fact that it's haunted by the ghost of Jacques de Breze's wife, Charlotte, and her lover. Both were assassinated, and Jacque de Breze sold the castle right after their deaths. Legend has it he couldn't stand the nighttime moaning of the ghost lovers, while he slept alone.

Where can i see ghost adventures- Edinburgh vaults full episode for free? Ive been wanting to see this episode but i cant find it.
