City of the Dead Haunted Graveyard Tour
‘Delivered EXPERTLY with the right balance of humour and horror’ – Scarecon
Not just a tour. A PHENOMENON.
The Graveyard tour combines the weirdest history with the wildest stories and wickedest humour around. This tour even has a unique gift shop – located in a graveyard funeral parlour!
Best of all, City of the Dead has access to Edinburgh’s Covenanter’s Prison and the Black Mausoleum – lair of the world famous Mackenzie Poltergeist . An encounter with the poltergeist is the highlight of the tour, with hundreds of people claiming to have been attacked by the enitity. The MacKenzie Poltergeist is now regarded as the best documented supernatural case of all time and the tour has become equally famous – the subject of books as well as scores of television documentaries, newspaper articles and websites.
