Located within Scotlands historical town of Edinburgh, and only recently discovered early 1980, are the hidden eighteenth century vaults. The vaults have a rich and fascinating history including murder and torture. Many believe the vaults to be haunted to this day by the multitude of citizens who suffered much within these walls.

It comes as no surprise that paranormal teams have described the vaults as 'the most intense paranormal experience you will ever have'.

Originally the location was used to house workers and tradesmen but due to regular flooding the vaults were were abandoned and left open to the lower class town folk.

Local tourist guide Ewan Armstrong states that he was a sceptic when he first began working at the vaults, but that would rapidly change as he was subjected to experiencing full body apparitions, shadow people and strange voices.

During the early 18th century there was much crime and punishment here normally saved for the murderers, thieves, prostitutes and pimps who actually lived down in these murky dark vaults and it is believed thousands were murdered and mutilated by the crazed surgeon killer.

Visitors have reported many times to seeing the ghost of a young woman with long dark hair and blood smeared across her face. People believe it is the spirit of a young girl who was dragged into the vaults and attacked by a large group of violent men, taking her innocent life. 

Another is the ghost of a small boy who has actually been seen by multiple groups of visitors. The boy says 'they hurt her' and points to concrete steps where her body was found with fractured skull injury.

Many visitors have had stones violently thrown at them and felt breathing on their necks. Some report seeing a tall dark shadow man who many believe to be 'the surgeon' a prolific Scottish bodysnatcher, who preyed on the less fortunate community who often sought shelter in the vaults as they were homeless.

The surgeon was known to creep up behind people and smother their faces with a pillow, dragging their bodies to his secret quarters where he would use their bodies for surgical dissection and horrific procedures.

An amazing place with much to see and learn.
