Dive into the chilling depths of history with Ancient Secrets and Haunted Journeys as we explore Edinburgh’s underground vaults, also known as the South Bridge Vaults. Built in the late 18th century, these eerie chambers were originally intended for storage and workshops but quickly became a refuge for the city’s poorest residents and a hub for illicit activities.
In this spine-tingling episode, we uncover the vaults' dark past, from their construction to their abandonment and rediscovery. Hear about the notorious Burke and Hare and the vaults' transformation into a slum teeming with crime and poverty. But the history is just the beginning.
Experience the paranormal as we share tales of ghostly encounters and mysterious figures. Learn about "Mr. Boots," a menacing spirit known for his echoing footsteps, and the ghost of a young boy named Jack, who reaches out to visitors with a cold, spectral hand. Discover the chilling Stone Circle room, believed to be a focal point for dark energy and paranormal activity.
Join us as we delve into eyewitness accounts, EVP recordings, and investigations from renowned shows like "Most Haunted" and "Ghost Adventures." Feel the oppressive atmosphere and unsettling presence that have made Edinburgh’s vaults one of the most haunted locations in the world.
Whether you are a history enthusiast or a seeker of the supernatural, this episode offers a compelling blend of historical intrigue and ghostly legends.
