900 Years of Germanic Mysteries..!! The Birthplace of Occult ?

• With some 900 years of history behind it,it wouldn't be surprising if Edinburgh Castle wasn't one of Scotland's most haunted sites. Since being built as a military fortress in the early 12th century,the castle has seen surprise attacks, executions, and even a brief occupation by the British. Reborn as a tourist attraction, Edinburgh Castle now offers haunting tours of its dungeons, which were once home tothe likes of Duke Alexander Steward of Albany ( Who was escaped, Stabbing her guards to death and then burning their bodies), Lady Janet Douglas of Glamis (accused of Witchcraft and burned to the ground), and an unnamed stork who had been lost in one of the underground passage of the castle and never to return.

• In 2001, Edinburgh Castle became the site of one of the largest paranormal investigations in the history. A team of nine researchers and more than 200 members of the public have been exploring the castle's forgotten rooms and secret passageways for signs of spooky things going on. The public is not told which areas of the castle are not. 51% of participants in haunted areas reported paranormal experiences, While only 35% did so in non-haunted areas. Darkness,sudden temperature drops and the feeling of something's tugging at your clothes are all every day experiences in Edinburgh.

• If the castle's paranormal activity wasn't enough. Edinburgh also has Mary Kings Close, an underground section of the city where Black Death Victims are quarantined and left to die.

The travel channel has also dubbed it America's most supernatural home (obviously they are experts). It's earliest ghost was "Yankee" Jim Robinson who was hanged on the site in 1852.when James Whaley built the house - Which in the mid - 19th century served as a granary, courthouse and general Store in 1857, He claimed to hear Robinson padding loudly through the halls. Whaley and his wife are also said to inhabit the house, announcing their presence with cigar smoke and perfume . Visitors have also reported sightings of a startlingly life like young girl in a long dress lounging in the dining room.
