Ghosts in Edinburgh!

Edinburgh was our first stop in the UK and where we first met up with my parents and sister. For those who don't know Erin has been in the UK for about 9 months now and has done some pretty serious traveling while over here. Before we met up Erin had called us in Berlin and asked if we would do a ghost tour while in Edinburgh with her, she had found one that takes you into a locked part of the old graveyard. Who could say no to an offer like that!
We only had about 36 hours in Edinburgh so a Ghost Tour sounded like a great way to see some of the city at night, and here about the city's gory past.
Now I had never realised what a complete sook my little sister is! When we met up for the tour guide the guide starts by telling of all the ghostly accounts people have had on the tour. He advises us that they have over 3000 people willing to write about their own experiences, and many more who didn't want to go on the record. He then tells us of all the people who have been knocked out cold on this tour, or come back with unexplained marks and scratches. By this stage my sister was already white as a ghost (sorry about the pun) but when the guide advised the group we were on this tour at our own risk Erin was ready to go home!
Thankfully Erin decided to risk the tour on the condition she could hold my hand (I personally was glad someone was more scared then me as normally I'm the sook).
As we walked through the city we heard about the cities dark past, witch burning, plague pits and possibly the first recorded concentration camp. We worked our way to a graveyard. This graveyard is famous for a dog greyfriars bobby that was loyal to his owner after he died and sat on his grave everyday until he died (although this story is exaggerated and has been made into a Disney movie). The graveyard is also the resting place of Tom Riddle (you should know who that is).
In the corner of this grave yard there is a locked section only accessible on this tour. It has been locked by the city council due to a poltergeist that haunts this section.
This grave yard is creepy, it is very old and there are so many bodies that after heavy rain bones frequently come out of the ground. It is built next to the old city wall and some greaves actually have cages over them from back when stealing bodies to sell was an issue.
So the entire tour are standing in a crypt in the locked and haunted part of the grave yard (Erin and I still holding hands). The guide starts going into detail of how people are attacked in this particular crypt. Next thing a man in a cape leaps through the door of the crypt and scares the shit out of us. Erin and I scream. Erin leaps back so she is not attacked dragging me with her which would have been OK if she didn't step on the old lady behind her and both of us didn't smack into Simon. Eventually Erin calms down after calling the man a few choice words and Simon and I stop laughing.
This is the end of the tour and a pint is required to calm everyone's nerves!
