August 28th, 2009

  1. You’re right about the atmosphere in Edinburgh that really makes a person understand how people believed in ghosts. The night time cemetery tour on the old end of town just before the gate at night is especially fun.

      I love the atmosphere in Edinburgh! I have heard that there are regions in Germany and Romania that give the same ambiance (I’m sure Transylvania) but I have yet to visit them. I think in Edinburgh it was the history that made it so interesting. Instead of something “Halloweenish” like “this person died in this room and is now trying to get revenge” the history of the body snatchers was very real. I have heard of a “Jack the Ripper” tour in London which I’d be interested in taking for the same reason, but have not yet.
