MARY KING'S GHOST FEST IS OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR...

 

The award winning Mary King’s Ghost Fest took place in March 2010.   As always the festival was with a programme of events which kept the most avid of ghost hunters and the most serious of sceptics entertained for hours. Every year the festival offers a wide range of exciting events which allow people the opportunity to explore and examine under supervision the truly ‘haunted’ nature of extraordinary Edinburgh.
  
This years highlights included medium Chris Conway (from Living TV's Most Haunted) visited The Real Mary King's Close for the first time, a Scottish first as Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe and Steve Parsons brought their 'So You Want To Be A Ghost Hunter' workshop north of the border  and many new and favourite locations opened their doors for overnight vigils - Blair Street Vaults, Damnation Alley, the Dalmahoy Hotel and Scotch Malt Whisky Society vaults were just a few of the highlights.

The Real Mary King's CloseThe Real Mary King's Close
Mary King's Ghost Fest is funded and organised by one of Edinburgh’s most popular and important tourist attractions, The Real Mary King’s Close, and is supported by a growing number of organisations across the city.

Mary King lived at the top of one of narrow Closes off the Royal Mile until her death in 1644. The Close, later named after her, was preserved when the City Chambers was constructed over the site in 1853. What remains today is a strange underground time – capsule of small houses and spaces, steeped in mystery and shrouded in dark stories.

Thought to be one of the most haunted places in Scotland, The Real Mary King’s Close has appeared on Living TV’s Most Haunted twice and more recently the Sci-Fi Channel’s Ghost Hunters International. It is therefore fitting that a number of special events take place at this venue throughout the festival.
