Buried beneath the bustling streets of Edinburgh, these vaults have a history steeped in crime, poverty, and mystery.

Tony explores the ghostly phenomena reported by visitors and investigators, diving into spine-chilling stories of shadowy figures, chilling screams, and encounters with the infamous “Mr. Boots.” But are these tales a product of the vaults’ dark history, or is there a rational explanation? Tune in for a deep dive into one of the world’s most haunted locations.
