The Ghosts of the Edinburgh Vaults: Exploring the Supernatural under the streets of the capital 

Very much appreciated. Being Scottish, I have always loved the old stories from Edinburgh and her vaults.

Welcome back! My niece worked for Mercat tours for a few years, she was shoved/pushed on one of the tours whilst talking to the customers, witnessed by a few. She was quite shaken up by it all, but stayed on for a good while longer! Me? I would’ve bailed!😂

Been on a Mercat tour with my husband, a good few years ago. Scared me, Mr Boots 👢 made himself known, not seen but felt, dark and overbearing. I could not imagine having to live there, it must've been terrifying 😢. Enthralled again Mr Eerie, this brought back memories for me. Wonderfully done. I hope that you are feeling somewhat better in yourself. You have outdone yourself again ❤❤

Just what the paranormal doctor ordered (eerie Edinburgh) your one stop shop for everything paranormal story... I just recently binged watched all of your compilation last month. it's a great channel. Absolutely love it 10 out of 10

Been down the Vaults a few times. Last time I was down (in July '23) they turned off all the lights and we were standing in there in the pitch black. Crazy to think people lived and worked down there centuries ago. But about 10 years ago I was on a tour with my sister and now brother-in-law and our group was standing shoulder to shoulder in a room (I believe it might have been the Carpenter's room or near there?) and we were all facing the guide who was talking to us. I was on the end of the line on the left side, and my sister and BIL were to my right with the rest of the tour group to the right of them. So there was nobody (living) to my left that I was aware of. I had my clutch purse attached to my coat so I could focus on my camera. All of the sudden I felt a tug on it on my left side and I looked around thinking someone was pranking me. Maybe it was my sister, BIL, or someone who works for the tour company but I saw and heard nobody. No footsteps, no gimmicky tour shenanigans with someone in costume. Done a couple tours with that tour company and never recalled them being known for shenanigans like that. So maybe it was Jack, the wee ghost boy.

Whoa! Not only does Mr. Eerie talk of the paranormal, he lives it. Thanks for today's upload chock full of ghosts.

Your voice and your channel are amazing. Absolutely love you! 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

These videos are so expertly done. I grew up hearing about Burke & Hare, and have taken several tours of the vaults over the years. I’m back in town for the fire festival and your video has put me in mind to visit the vaults again.

Very interesting this. Edinburgh, the city in my heart, I visited in 2014, and felt at home there. My friend and I were part of an incredible thing in Inverness Cathedral. When we got there, I wanted to show my respect and love for the city of Scots, so I lit a candle there, thinking, "I light this candle for all the Scots who lived and loved the cathedral". The "result" came as surprised as it was unexpected. A kind of buzzing went through the body as if it were a finger being inserted into the body. When I told my friend, the next surprise came. The church doors swing open, the wind catches a "Welcome" sign, which lands right in front of my feet. Two welcome out of two possible, from old dead Scots. Ever since then, the Cathedral has had a place in my heart. In the small nearby town of Naîrn, a similar greeting took place. Feel free to get more facts about who haunts the cathedral, and greetings from "the Swede" ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love how you mix history with ghost stories

I took several tours of the Vaults when I visited Edinburgh in 2015. They are amazingly atmospheric! I recommend them over Mary King's Close, for sure, which has been sanitized to within an inch of its life. The final tour I took was the last tour of the night and very late. I was charged with blowing out the candle in each room as I left. I didn't see anything unusual, unfortunately, but I've never experienced anything so pitch black and creepy in my entire life.

Mr. Eerie, your timing is impeccable. This is just what I needed today. Thank you once again for sharing your amazing city with us. I truly hope that you’re feeling better. Blessings from Minnesota, USA.

Welcome back Eerie.Missed your videos,giving you a wave from pathhead beach or should say ravenscraig castle.great video,glad your feeling better.

Hope you are feeling better. Really enjoyed Burke and Hare..a very dark duo indeed.

My sister booked myself , my niece, and herself to visit the vaults for my birthday one year. While it was interesting it wasn't spooky. We went in an area on the left of St Giles cathedral down some steps into the vaults . Id like to do the other parts of the vaults that has Mr Boots doing his rounds to see if i can pick up on the atmospheric pressure there.

Well told and beautiful images too.

You're Voice is great, I have to watch the vlog twice it usually sends me to sleep (not in a bad way) as soon as I wake up I play it again, I got a shock when Abraham Lincoln appeared on the screen, my Dad told me about Burke and Hare, it didn't realise it was in 19th century, good vlog, well written and beautifully told, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

Thanks for another excellent video . I moved from Scotland down to the South East of England in 1977 in order to work . Not much work available in the area I was living in at the time . Years later I travelled back to Edinburgh with my then husband ( English guy) since deceased , We walked around the ' auld toon ' . I thought he would be impressed by the old architecture and then he reminded me that he had been born and bred in one of the oldest parts of London 😅 Thanks for the video 🎉

When I was on a tour of the Edinburgh vaults I was at the back of the group and flashed my torch into an abandoned dark vault. I caught the figure of a man facing the wall wearing a large pair of boots. I asked the guide who was the figure and he replied there wasn’t one the vault was empty. What had I seen?

Hi, awesome live ghost stories video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. Benjamin and I always enjoy watching your videos. Have a great day see you next video 😊

Another fantastic video pal. My favourite paranormal destination. The vaults and also most of the Highlands. Obviously one is more pleasing to the eye than the other. But it's a haunting atmosphere on the glens when the fog rolls in.

Brilliant! Another great selection. Thanks!

You know by now how much I love your channel! Your stories make me ache for home at the same time as reminding me why I moved a hundred miles away. My love for Edinburgh will never die, but every corner seems to hold a memory for me that hurts my heart! Edinburgh is the only city I know that loves you with the same intensity that it wants to kill you!

Another great one ! Of all the stories my father told me when I was a boy Burke and hare and sawney bean have stayed with me and made me realise people as bad as this do exist ! Lang may your lum reek brother

My granny was an Armstrong. Love the Scottish and love this channel. The best to snuggle up to and drift off to sleep at the end. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇲

Graphics and narration spot on! Creepy AF! I've been to all these vaults but never experienced the paranormal. Definitely spooky though.

Eerie!!! Yaaay!!! Just about to watch now..hope yr feeling better xxx❤

Thank you so much I really appreciate your videos and always look forward to the next one. I go back and listening to the older ones often.

Well done my mate, always look forward to hearing your work!

I've been down into the Vaults numerous times over the years and always find Niddry to be the most unsettling. I was on a tour once when we all heard distinct clear whistling; even the little French girl giving the tour looked visibly unnerved.

I haven't watched yet. Must wait for the perfect moment because I know it's always going to be the best part of my day! But I can't wait so I had to comment now, lol. Yay. So excited 😁

Brilliant video. The most comprehensive video about the vaults on RU-vid. I've been to both sets myself and never experienced anything. However I've heard stories from people who work in nearby pubs Banshee Labyrinth and Whistle Binkies that definitely corroborate the activity.

I wasn't able to participate in the ghost tour when we started our Scotland tour in Edinburgh. So, thank-you for taking me there, all these years later.---And I was interested in hearing more about the body snatcher story, you provided information I'd not heard before.

Although I am subscribed you don’t pop up on my face page so every now and then I go hunting for you. I don’t use alerts as I live in NZ which is in the opposite time zone to the northern hemisphere which is where 99% of my subscriptions are based. What a treat to find 3 videos waiting for me. Love your work.

Thank you very much great stories glad you’re feeling better. Keep up the awesome job.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow what a horrible place for anyone to have to live thank goodness for the cobbler 👍

thank you so much....

Lived in the city for 4 and a half years with my ex Mrs. I never visited the vaults, always regretted it. Great video. 👍

Waited a while for this one & it didn't disappoint! Great job! First time I've heard the aristocrat & Hellfire club stories. I went to the Niddry Street Vaults in November & experienced something touching me in the room with the stone circle when no one else was behind me & while in another vault could hear someone walking up & down the halls. One lady asked if the guide if we were the only your group in & we were then told us about Mr. Boots.

Awesome like and shared out in you tube community. ⌚

I've been interested in ghosts and other supernatural since i was a child. I'm so excited to watch and hear all these ghost stories and the history behind them. Great job, thank you! 🙌 I've visited in Edinburgh which is a beautiful mythical capital. It's so nice to hear old tales from there and amazing Highlands. 🍂🦌

Thank you for this fascinating video.

Absolutely brilliant! Watched your work from the beginning. It's great to see you doing so well. Fascinating stories. Love it! 👍👍

Another great video. Brings back memories of my visits to Edinburgh and the vaults. Been to a lot of places which are meant to be haunted. But the vaults are an attack on the senses. Well it was for me. Fascinating, but fearsome at the same time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Was in the vaults once about twenty years ago, me and my mate both seen something walk right through a solid wall, the American family that was with us lost their minds.

Thank you for another great video

I will visit Edinburgh for the first time next week. Can’t wait to have this experience myself

Can someone please tell me who the narrator is? As much as these tales are spooky, his voice just instantly relaxes me. Better than asmr videos❤❤❤❤

Haunting and beautiful, as always. Thank you Sir!

That was so interesting. I always enjoy your well-researched history and beautiful narration. This one was incredibly scary too. I'm so glad I watched it not too late in the evening, lol. :)

Great story telling, it’s make you feel like you’re there😉

Wow!!outstanding storytelling as usual.I got creeped out for sure😮👻

Wow! Thank you so much for this spooky and interesting podcast! I read a great book years ago about Burke and Hare that has stuck with me for years. Their evil deeds are so frightening that this story still scares me to this day! Although, as you know, Dr. Knox was never charged with any crime, I still think he snd his assistants were at least guilty of paying for the bodies to be dug up from their graves. What I gathered from the book was that Knox and his medical school assistants just looked the other way and really didn't care or want to know where the bodies came from or how they were obtained, even by murder! The book talked about how the Edinburgh University Medical School was on the leading edge of medicine at that time, as you know, and the doctors were making great strides in all areas of medical science. That's all great, but robbing graves and murdering people was so evil! The vaults look so spooky! I would love to visit Scotland and see them some day! The lost little ghost boy makes me sad. Perhaps if someone encounters his ghost, they will encourage him to move towards the Light, so his dear Soul can cross over to Heaven? Anyway, love your channel! Keep up the awesome work! Happy Easter to all! He is Risen! Alleluia! ⛪🐣🐰👻😊

I saw the odd face of a person in the first clip of the students in the vault on my left hand side. Looked like an older man. Was that deliberate ? Loved it !

Loved the stories, style of delivery and the awesome accent.. thank you. Have subscribed.

Excellent job 👍💯♥️👻

I hope to visit Scotland one day. These are very interesting stories. History and all. Thank you so much.❤

Once went on an overnight investigation in the vaults with a team and my daughter. We both heard a

Excellent video! I would love to see all of Scotland. What a fascinating place.

I visited into the vault with a tour. Had a weird experience myself. There's something down there 100 percent.

Hi Greetings from Kim from Nottingham England, this is really spooky thank you for doing this xx

Another really interesting video. I've been to the Edinburgh Vaults as well. They really are creepy, but really interesting.

Thanks ,...from Holland ,i really enjoy watching !!!

This is great ghost stories down there, been to Mary’s close but not that one , hopefully get to go there

Thoroughly enjoyed. Newly subscribed. 👌👌👌❤️

Well done, great video mate ☺️ Creepy old Mr. Boots 😮

Thank you for another awesome story

Been to "the vaults" a couple of times - same place each time. I am sure there are two but being a "weegie" only found one of 'em. I will keep searching. 🤔🤞

Great stories told very well

Happy days! Another Eerie Edinburgh video....I need coffee to go with it, or tea....or a beer! Decisions, decisions....dammit! 🤨🤔😉😆😂 Always nice to see a friendly face....keep 'em videos coming! I hope that all is well at your end of the trenches....🤜🏻🤛🏻

I’ve lived in Edinburgh all my life. Not a chance I’d go down those vaults. I like to leave restless angry beings alone.

Nz is in the house ❤🎉😂

Cracking video, educational as always. I’m hoping to visit Edinburgh soon & The Vaults will be high on my list, hope I don’t bump into Mr Boots 👻👌

Creepy AF 😵‍💫

Thank you for another fabulous episode.👻👻👻♥️

You have an amazing voice. I love your videos.

Another great episode Eerie! Must get myself on one of those tours round the Vaults, been meaning to do it for ages.. 😱

Good Sunday friend! Hope all is well.

Whenever we're in Edinburgh we take the vaults tour. One time our camera lost its charge and I had scratches on my back....right in the middle. Never felt anything scratch my back when we were down there..

Fantastic! I was just thinking about the catacombs of Paris. I wish I could see the famous underground of Edinburgh for myself, but your tour will do. Thank you.

Amazing vaults done many off them will do more

Just discovered your videos and have binge watched several so far. You have a very relaxing storytelling voice and the stories are interesting. However, at 7:04 minutes in I noticed the lady's hand holding the money. AI never gets the hands right. LOL

What a beautiful country !!

Excellent, glad Iv experienced ! 🍷

What an interesting film 🎥 thank you 👍

Excellent as always.

Back in 2016 I went on an evening tour in the vaults That night in my hotel on Royal Mile I had a vivid dream A lion relaxed on my bed. Purple and gold shiny fabric billowed in the room It was incredibly clear and real

😎👍, been waiting for you to get round to this one 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥳👍❗️

Bedankt

I was one of the first members of the publications c taken into the vaults by mercat back in the year 2000, i was there again last year, I adore the place and Edinburgh in general. Here in Glasgow its boring 😂

Burke and Hare probably wouldn't have had to resort to such measures as they did if society hadn't been so systemically screwed-up from centuries of mismanagement and corruption. Yes, they were criminals...but the true villains held higher seats. And they still do.

Distinctive, very loud ,gutteral growl..Not a dog! I was unnerved to say the least
