Tony sets up his cameras

This was an extremely bizarre experience for us, we had had a tour around the yard the previous night learning the history of Edinburgh’s  torturous history, and heard of the back ground of the”kirk”  yard (Scottish for church) which was built in a valley.

We were told that when it rains, due to the thousands of bodies that were dumped in the mass burial pit due to the plagues, parts of the bodies wash up to the surface to be seen again.

The investigation at Niddry Street Vaults was very interesting, most experiences were personal, and some backed up by others who were present on the night.

Various sightings of shadows which represented figures, Cala described a bent over figure wearing a tall hat who resided at the top of the passage way; she felt that he was not a pleasant person in his day; this was very early on in the invest so we ruled out fatigue as a reason for sightings, the lighting was candle lit and no air movement. There is one door way in and another at the end of the passage.
