    I have been there many times. One time, in the middle of winter, snow on the ground and freezing, i came upon two elderly homeless men living within the cemetery. One had been a boxer and was 'punch drunk' and the other called himself 'Cannonball' and recited the most wonderful poetry he had written. I said he needed to write that down, he said then people would steal his words. Needless to say i came home without my scarf, gloves and jumper.

    Ghosts are one of those things that until you experience them for yourself you will always be sceptical BUT when (if) you DO experience them you then realise that there are things in this world that we will probably never understand. It is quite an unnerving explosion inside the brain when you come to realise that ghosts are indeed very real. It was the most disturbing experience I have ever had.

      @@PGG418 My grandfather on my mother's side died 42 years ago now. He smoked a very distinctive smelling tobacco in his pipe. Ten years ago my mother died & I was very upset. VERY upset. I had been out shopping one day & when I returned home my house was filled with the strong smell of tobacco smoke, HIS tobacco smoke. I just sat down & cried & said "Thank you, Grandad". I still grieved my mother but I was really fine after that. He came back to tell me that everything was okay.

    I visited the Kirkyard a couple of years ago and found the place had a very gloomy doom laden atmosphere about it. I would never describe myself as psychic or sensitive to such things as I’ve visited many such places including Highgate, Brompton and Pere Lachaise cemeteries and found them equally fascinating but not depressing.

Oh I wish I could go back and live it all over again those were the days. 🥃🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    You mentioned that a lot of raillings were removed during the war but fun fact, a lot of the metal gathered wasn't even used as there was an abundance of it collected but it wasn't mentioned til years later due to it being a way to keep people's spirits up thinking that they were contributing to the war effort.

  • @georgettedenholm477

    Hello interesting fact .Many railings and gates were removed during World War II, ostensibly to be melted down in a morale-boosting drive to help the war effort. The reality was that the iron could not be reused and more often than not it was simply dumped at sea. - This was done to make everyone feel like they were doing something, the reality was , utterly useless amount of effort,done for no good to anybody anywhere. A bit like clapping in covid. Very interesting video, thanks for braving the weather and sharing.

      Maybe someone needs to pray for the departed. Maybe they are trying to get someone’s attention to be able to get out of purgatory although my own feelings and contemporary family’s religious traditions don’t allow for that I am not going to discount it.

    Cool beans! I’ve been thinking of that place recently for some reason and how magical it is. Ever since I was a kid and my Edinburgh-born grandfather told me the story of Greyfriar’s Bobby and I read my mother’s copy of the book. I went there in 1989 with my grandparents MacMillan and walked around the area and the kirk yard. Went back in early 90’s for the Festival and saw a wonderful play of “Daniel and the lions” performed in the kirk. Just remembered that. Loved it.

      Some people find this place terrifying and there are some scary stories attached but I’ve never been creeped out by it. Being from Edinburgh, as a teen my friends and I would join tour groups most weekends but none of us experienced anything.

    A very popular place for tourists and locals alike for a peaceful walk. So full of history and of course a lot of sadness. Thanks for a really nice video.
    I wonder how good those monuments would look if they were power washed!👻

    Great upload, I loved Edinburgh when i visited many years ago, such a beautiful place. That stone masonry at 15:15 is astonishing, are there humans alive today with the skills to make these unique works of art? Great work DGW

    Also, given the history of that plot of land I'm surprised that the town council allowed apartment / flat construction so close to the church yard walls. Any ideas on this?

      People need places to live in, nothing wrong in building next to cemetery's or graveyards, the dead can't hurt you, and it would be peaceful at night.

    I'm sorry that precious little dog, Bobby, was buried in that cemetery with such an evil force there. All they ask you to do is please don't rub his statue's nose. I've seen a video of a crowd inside the black mausoleum, and a lady got scratched and almost passed out. They quickly removed her from being inside the mausoleum. There's no way I'd ever get close to that mausoleum. I don't know if they stopped allowing groups to go inside of it or not anymore. There is pure evil and pure good in the spiritual realm, whether people want to believe it or not.
