The Top 4 UK horror tours.
A Few of the English And Scottish best scares.
There may be more out there but these are definitely the best that i can think of to advise people to go to for any real life scares, educational fear or just some plain old fun.
NUMBER 1 Edinburgh's City Of The Dead Tours.
Underground City Of The Dead A section of Edinburgh’s legendary Underground City, where a population once lived in utter misery.
Black as Satan’s jammies, with a fascinating history to match, these vaults were forgotten for centuries and only recently unsealed. This part of the South Bridge Vaults is known as Damnation Alley. With good reason.
These dark tunnels and are stalked by a malevolent presence known as the South Bridge Entity. Underground City of the Dead is researched and written by the award winning novelist and historical author, Jan-Andrew Henderson.
The story of this hidden metropolis is told in his book
City Of The Dead Graveyard Tour The Graveyard tour combines the weirdest history with the wildest stories and wickedest humour around. This tour even has a unique t shop - located in a graveyard funeral parlour! Best of all, City of the Dead has access to the Covenanters Prison and the Black Mausoleum - lair of the world famous Mackenzie Poltergeist . An encounter with the poltergeist is the highlight of the tour, with hundreds of people claiming to have been attacked by the enitity. The MacKenzie Poltergeist is now regarded as the best documented supernatural case of all time and the tour has become equally famous - the subject of a book as well as scores of televion documentaries, newspaper articles and webtes. A careful blend of fascinating history and distinctive humour, culminating in a genuinely terrifying experience has made the Graveyard Tour a phenomenon.
