Halloween Underground
Led by a Master Storyteller, visitors journey through the darkened closes of Edinburgh's Old Town to hear macabre folklore and tales of Samhuinn. Guests then descend into the candlelit Blair Street Underground Vaults to explore an unsettling labyrinth of damp stone chambers. Along the walk, sinister stories of body snatchers, murderers, and spirits are shared through personal audio devices accompanied by a curated soundscape.
