- Edinburgh has a whole lot of haunted history for tourists to explore: ghost walks, creepy castles, sites of witch burnings. But this city in Scotland also has what some consider to be the most haunted graveyard in the world - Greyfriars Kirkyard.
Most of the hauntings are linked to the ghost of George Mackenzie - a merciless judge who presided over the trials of the Presbyterian Covenanters in the 1670s. The Covenanters had petitioned the King to allow freedom to practice their religion without interference. To crush this rebellion against the Crown, “Bloody Mackenzie” was brutal in his out punishments, and imprisoned 1,200 Covenanters in a field next to Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Good video overall but the graveyard isn’t called Greyfriar’s Bobby. It’s called Greyfriars Kirkyard. It’s no surprise that the graveyard is so haunted giving how many souls were buried there after experiencing so much pain at the hands of McKenzie. I’ve been many times and in a way it’s a very peaceful place but at the same time, there is a feeling of unrest sometimes.
I agree. The Kirkyard is a lovely, peaceful place to walk around in during the day, but after dark it feels like a different place.
I went into the Covenanter's prison as part of a tour in the pouring rain and really didn't like that area at all. I also went into the Black Mausoleum where the poltergeist is sopposed to reside and hated every minute of it, despite my best efforts to remain rational.
@@AlisonBryen Can you remember which company you went with to tour those parts? I’d like to visit those parts one day.
@@karagrace941 the only company with access is City of the dead tours. :)
My thoughts when I visited was of my ancestors from Lanarkshire who were imprisoned after Bothwell Brig, the Kirk has a facsimile of the battle flag carried by John Main of Ballochney, Airdrie, of the East Munklands,the original flag is kept in Airdrie public library,I am an Airdrieonian born and bred..
No he didn't. He said there was so much more about it than Greyfriar's Bobby or Harry Potter.
My 6th GGF, Rev Willam Robertson, was supposedly a minister at Greyfriars Church before immigrating to Colonial America, Henrico County, VA in the 17th Century.
I went there years ago and my dream is to get to go again before I die. I have told my grandson the stories of all the places I got to visit. I loved it and so thankful for my memories.
I'd describe greyfriars as a living piece of art.
We visit greyfriars everytime we're in Edinburgh. I did get scratches on my back when we did the vault tour.
I was there many years ago. It is not a pleasant feeling place but the stone work is neat.👻
Hard to believe there has been such nasty, mean spirits there. When I visited it, it was a peaceful summer's day and it was so tranquil there. 🥰
WOW what an interesting place!! Great video, keep up the great work!
I was here today (Halloween) for the first time. The covenaters prison was locked off, but I looked through the gate & I got hit with a sudden headache & felt really sick, then I walked past the tomb & had a really uneasy uncomfortable feeling. I'm not a believer in the supernatural or anything but it was so strange 👻🎃
Wow. I've actually been in the black mausoleum as part of a tour. Although I didn't feel anything personally in terms of physical discomfort or pain it certainly wasn't a pleasant experience on a psychological level, the Covenanter's prison was basically a concentration camp afterall.
My older brother has been in Covenanter’s Prison and the Black Mausoleum. He had nightmares for almost a week.
Lived in Edinburgh 14 years and use to walk through graveyard b4 they locked it for the nite and always felt an eeery presence like someone 👀 me,live back through west but going try get my other half to go on the tours of the city as there great 👍🏻
The yard is still open at night, main gates are open 24/7, the prison area is always locked though and has been since 1999 :)
THE PULL FOR ME IS SO STRONG TO COME THERE, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE 20 MINUTES AGO, NOW IM LOOKING UP TICKETS. I'M 89% IRISH AND 11% SCOTTISH. I CANT GET OVER THE PULL, I'VE NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE!!
I love this graveyard when I visit Edinburgh great at night especially the covenaters prison
been there drunk in the middle of the night with a guided tour and got back with scratches, save to say my mom is terrified now and thinks he got me hahah
That's incredible actually. It's a very different cemetery to any other in Edinburgh.
I love the place
He called it Greyfriar's Bobby. That's the name of the small dog of a police constable who visited his grave for years (I think 7, 11?) And would leave only after dusk.
nice video :)
cool 👍
I have been in there a couple of times.
I would never go in there on my own or after dark.
Two of the men who persecuted the Covenanters, George MacKenzie as well as John Graham of Claverhouse were fellow Dundonians .
Not something I am proud of.
We Lanarkshire folks had a name for Dundee, bluidy Clavers , he camped in Strathaven before Drumclog where he was routed fleeing to Glasgow.
@@georgejob2156 The killing times.
I heard that the area was once a valley, and later became a hill.
awesome!
Thank you very much
@@daniellobatofilms5533 No problem :) dunno if youv seen this but i made this back in 2012 as a project when i was studying for my HND in Film production, i had a brief to go by so it couldn't be any less than 20 minutes long, so the over the top and cheesy dramatics were done for reason of padding it out. there was loads of things i wish i could of done different and better but couldn't due to not being able to afford it. th-cam.com/video/HHESKp_Zlg8/w-d-xo.html
@@thomson753089 Wow this documentary is fascinating, you've done so well. I remembered seen this video few years ago. It was done so well. You should be proud of it. I did this interview for my NC and this coming September I'm starting my AVT HND 2. So interesting you've done exactly the same topic. We live in a small world.
@@thomson753089 I replied you by mistake with the other account. I will suscribe you to your channel. You've got good quality stuff.
Interesting
Can you still see the hole the snp slithered out of?.
Why do ghosts only come out at night? Why do ghost hunters go out at night, surely a graveyard would be haunted all the time by someone or something….
It's more active after dark
So can you go on a ghost tour with this guy?
hello daniel can i use a tiny clip of your video? i promise i will credit you and your channel on my description.please please :) im from the philippines.
As long as you credit me you are welcome to use it.
@@daniellobatofilms5533 Thanks brooo! stay awesome!
We don't have science available today
Creepy at night, I'll tell you..
And BTW, EVERY grave yard is haunted. Some have more activity than others.
It's haunted no joke
Naaah
So the black mausoleum is not MacKenzie’s tomb?
Correct, they are two different mausoleums 👍
Greyfriars kirkyard is very dangerous graveyard in the world most of the cruel and bloody people buried here they have become ghost after die they have not got peace after die because they was cruel and sinners and George bloody was also cruel and sinner is buried here
Please do proper research on Sir George... did you know he was the main reason Witch trials were abolished in Scotland? Did you know he founded a public library for the city of Edinburgh? Did you also know he went on to defend covenanters in court later in his career?.....
Didn't think so :( it's all too easy to read something online and take that for truth..
Fun fact.... Sir George MacKenzie NEVER killed a single person with his own hands. George was a paper pusher.. he was Lord Advocate, his days consisted of being in office signing documents when he wasn't working in court.. he wasn't a judge he was further up the chain than that, he ran Scotland when Charles was in England.
Not one yet caught on camera …they only come out at night.. why ?
its Greyfriars kirkyard not Greyfriars Bobby, Bobby's grave is there but that's it
7:02 who is this? :)
Who do you mean?
@@daniellobatofilms5533 they talk about a paranormal person visiting, I would love to know the name so I research what happened

Great historical mini documentary! There will be ANOTHER "party" (with carvings on that wall) when Scotland regains its INDEPENDENCE!.🏴
Unexplained attacks…hahahahahahaha
good interview, but I wasn't much impressed about the guy being interviewed, his off the cuff remarks concerning the etchings on the stone's as being "graffiti' as well as his comments on the chicken legs. was disrespectful. how can he give his personal point of view was he there? over a thousand people were persecuted for their beliefs and murdered in horrific ways, including women and children. The fact that the Judge could pass these sentences upon so many people made him a wicked man. McKenzie's the evil spirit at that cemetary.
Clearly your education about Sir George MacKenzie is taken from a website! And the graffiti is absolutely nothing to do with the Covenanters, it's in the main graveyard, not in the prison area.... also no women or children were kept in the prison, nor was anyone "murdered" within the prison area, yes people died (764) within the prison due to conditions (no shelter, food etc) nobody was going around actually killing them though 🤣. The only connection Sir George had to the prison area was he signed the paperwork allowing 1282 MEN to be kept in the south yard of Greyfriars kirkyard.... that's it, he never visited the prisoners and definitely never "killed" any of them! He was Lord Advocate, he wasn't on the battlefield nor did he go round the streets "killing" people.. he spent his days in offices and court.. He ran the country for Charles...
So please drop the "disrespectful" when you don't actually know what you are talking about! 15 years I have worked here, have you actually visited the Graveyard?
The graffiti (if you had been paying attention to what I was saying) was done by a child a happy child probably having fun with his friends almost 100 years AFTER the area beyond that wall was used as a prison.....
Any further questions? Rather than assumptions then please ask away 👍👍
And yes.... that is me being interviewed! 👍
@@jamiecorstorphine1271 Yes, lots of tales of the Evil presence of Sir George MacKenzie
@@01Varda he wasn't evil that's my point he was doing his job, sir George never killed anyone with his own hands! He never visited the prison, he never had anything to do with the men kept in that area, he just signed the paper work! That's it. I suggest you go and research the man yourself via written books rather than websites as your comment about me having no respect has just backfired dramatically on you! As you clearly never listened to anything I said in the video... instead of throwing up words and phrases that suit your own agenda to be offended about! 15 years I have worked in Greyfriars and I am classed as the world's leading expert on this case as we have been documenting it every day for almost 23 years now, my office is at the main gates for the graveyard so please do not try and tell me what is right or wrong in what I say, Because trust me..... you are the one that's wrong after finding false info believing it to be real truths.
@@jamiecorstorphine1271 I write this with all do respect to all as I am new to this particular place, although I must admit I'm BEYOND impressed and I can't begin to explain the pull I feel to this place!! However regarding people being murdered, whether by pen or hand if it was enough to condemn a man to death, he is still dead regardless.
All absolute nonsense. There is absolutely no evidence of any homeless man ever breaking into the tomb.
