Paranormal Edinburgh

If you are a Ghost Buster, then I suppose you probably need to be seen by a specialist; however, for all you ghost hunters or researchers looking to establish the existence of departed souls on the other side, Edinburgh is a gateway to one of the main places where there have been regular reports of paranormal activities for hundreds of years.

Underneath a section of the city are a series of chambers formed within the nineteen arches of the South Bridge. It was completed in 1788 and for around thirty years the tunnels were used to house taverns, cobblers and other tradesmen. It was also used to store illicit goods, which apparently also included victims of the serial killers Burke and Hare who used them for medical experiments.
