There’s a literary and cinematic heritage attached to graves that acts as shorthand for terror in adult horror culture – think Pet Sematary, Night of the Living Dead, Carrie, The Woman in Black – so they tend to get people shuddering from the offset, even without a paranormal encounter. Of course the people are fantastic too very friendly.Hi there, horror fans! Not much beats the eerie atmosphere of an empty cemetery in the middle of the night, am I right? They’re dark and shadowy, spookily silent and totally empty – you hope!Įverybody knows cemeteries are a breeding ground for ghosts seeking closure (you did know that, right?) but they can still make a fantastic setting for your middle grade or YA story even if you’re not writing supernatural horror. If we get to visit Edinburgh again we will go on a tour of the graveyard on a nicer day and in more depth.Įdinburgh golden mile and castle is amazing and the camera building by the castle and the cresent of old stunning buildings out towards Murrayfield Stadium and so so so much more including Venners (am I correct with the name?) shop which when we were there had a huge high Christmas tree reaching up over two stories inside the shop. We had seen that fantastic film beforehand and we had a rescue dog who was the mirror image of the dog in the film so wanted to see anything associated to him. We visited Greyfriars Kirkyard cemetary on a misty cold day but to see Blackfriars Bobby grave or sculpure.
SCARY GRAVEYARD MOD
We didn’t go into the ship and were disappointed with the mod area it was in after coming from such an ancient city as Edinburgh. We waked miles while there and took one bus tour out towards the Firth of Forth bridge where Her Majesty the Queen ship had been moored after being retired. My husband and I visited Edinburbh over ten years ago now close to Christmas so it was very cold but fantastic city. I stepped back and walked a few meters the way we came in and it went away.įeeling ok I walked near or just past the area again as I wanted to walk the rest of the way only about 10 meters to complete the path back to where we came in as it was a square and the path went around and back to the entrance to this particular part of the grave yard.Īs I walked past the point again bearing in mind it was a few meters away the horrid feeling came back again and same with my partner at the same time again as we walked past that point, straight away we stepped back the way we came and didn’t end up completing the rest of the path which was a shorter distance back to where we came in then going back around the way we came. We got to the bottom corner and suddenly while standing there got this horrible feeling right at the same time as each other, like a sickly fuzzy feeling that was very uncomfortable. We came across a stone with graffiti on making some joke out of the harry potter characters so we thought it had to be there or around that area and kept looking. We went to the far side past all the tombs and down a hill to the bottom corner to the right of the private school behind the graveyard.Įverything was normal and we were having a bit of a laugh and fooling about on the way doing the usual scary stuff to each other until we got to the bottom where I got out my phone to use the torch and look at the stones and to see if we could see anything. We took a little diversion off the main path at the front after walking past a ghost tour and I overheard one of them mention about a grave linked to someone in the harry potter stories so we went on a look about just for the fact we were not in any hurry to be anywhere.
We visited the graveyard only as we were diverted due to the fire opposite and the road and pathway were closed in September 2021, I’m not into ghost stories or believe much at all about haunting and the like and have no knowledge of this graveyard and its history.
