Haunted Locations Edinburgh

If there was an aspect of the paranormal that is most closely linked to the streets & wynds of Edinburgh then it must be that of the ghosts. The Scottish capital is an ancient site with castles, crumbling ruins & age old graveyards. All of which are natural spots for ghostly encounters and paranormal activity.

With such a historic city there is no surprise Edinburgh had its share of satanism, witchcraft and black magic. The Great Scottish Witch Hunt of 1597 has been remembered throughout time. With over 400 witches and satanists put on trial and over 200 executed. Even the Great Witch Of Balwearie was captured and in return identified over 40 of Scotland’s most notorious hags and warlocks. Aswell of thousands of executions. All of this death and practise of dark arts leaves its mark, and in Edinburgh its hard to miss. Is it any wonder therefore this city is named the most haunted in Europe.
