[00:33.17]A few years ago when I was 18,
[00:36.41]I was dating a girl from Edinburgh.
[00:39.44]Now this place has quite a lot of history
[00:42.33]so ghost tours are common but one stands out
[00:45.92]as being famous due to the fact
[00:48.78]that it has an extremely well documented case
[00:52.17]of a poltergeist called the Mackenzie Poltergeist.

[01:06.57]The tour starts off by taking you around Edinburgh
[01:10.30]and telling you stories of certain parts,
[01:13.64]but it all kicks off when they take you into a place
[01:17.44]called the covenanters prison.
[01:20.69]In this small cemetery² is the Black Mausoleum
[01:24.60]where the poltergeist is.
[01:27.57]Many people have felt cold spots in this tomb
[01:31.45]and have left the tour only for cuts and welts
[01:35.25]to appear later.
[01:37.66]Part of the tour is for all of the participants
[01:40.65]to be locked in the tiny mausoleum for ten minutes.

[01:49.79]and heard scratching noises on the walls
[01:52.97]and ceiling of this sandstone tomb.
