By
Edinburgh , the Scottish city of England, is composed of two areas, the old town and the new town, and its beautiful cityscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Edinburgh, which is visited by many tourists every year, there is the world's scariest graveyard ' Greyfriars Kirkyard ', which was introduced on TV and magazines, and attracts many people who like to try their luck. It is said that sightings such as Poltergeist are still reported. The Daily Beast has published 'Four Anecdotes,' which is why Greyfriars Kirkyard is said to be the scariest in the world.

◆ 1: The curse of George Mackenzie
By
One of the anecdotes that made Greyfriars Kirkyard famous is the curse of Charles II's senior officer, Sir George Mackenzie. George Mackenzie was so villainous that his name was 'Bloody' for his relentless persecution of the Christian Presbyterians. Mackenzie imprisoned 1,200 Christian Presbyterians in a prison in a graveyard and slaughtered about 1,000 of them in a brutal manner. Mackenzie's body, which died in 1691, was sealed in a sacred hall in a graveyard, but in 1999 a homeless man wandering around looking for a place to sleep opened the door of the sacred hall, and the seal was lifted. It seems to be.

The doors of the sacred hall are now tightly closed with iron chains, but the chain-closed doors create an even more scary atmosphere. Around Mackenzie's Religious Hall, many Poltergeist phenomena such as 'cutting hands', 'biting', 'scratching', and 'losing consciousness' have been reported by people who visited, and the number is more than 500. Due to the constant number of reports of psychic phenomena, the Edinburgh City Hall has banned public visits to parts of the cemetery and instead organized guided tours. After that, Mackenzie's Charnel House was featured on many television programs, and its name became famous all over England.
◆ 2: Lord Voldemort 's Tomb
By
Right next to Greyfriars Kirkyard, there is a cafe called Elephant House Cafe, where JK Rowling, the author of the fantasy novel ' Harry Potter Series ', was sitting in a seat at the cafe and writing Harry Potter. It became famous all at once. Greyfriars Kirkyard has the tomb of Thomas Riddle, who is said to have been the model for Lord Voldemort, the fictional wizard who appears in Harry Potter, and many Harry Potter fans now visit and bloom. And letters are left in Riddle's grave.
◆ 3: The corpse dug up
By shaff
In the 1800s, the University of Edinburgh School of Medicine announced a research program that required many corpses for its research. It was the so-called corpse thief who took notice of this story, and a corpse business was rampant in which a thief without medical knowledge dug up many corpses that had just been buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard and sold them to local students. As a result, the plague that arose from the corpse was quickly transmitted to the public.
◆ 4: Greyfriars Bobby
By Hank
A dog called Greyfriars Bobby is buried in the Greyfriars Kirkyard. In the mid-19th century, Bobby, who was kept by John Gray, who works for the Edinburgh Police Department, was a good partner to always work with his owner. Unfortunately, Gray died earlier than Bobby, and Gray was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard. I don't know if Bobby knew that his owner had died, but after Gray's death he began to sit beside his grave and has lived by the grave ever since. Bobby continued to watch over Gray by the grave for the next 14 years, and died in 1872. Beloved by the public, Bobby was buried near the entrance to Greyfriars Kirkyard and even a statue was built near it, which is exactly like the English version of 'Hachiko, the faithful dog.'
The final anecdote of 'Greyfriars Bobby' is touching and far from horror, but the Poltergeist phenomenon is still reported, so when you visit Edinburgh It is also recommended to go to the slightly unusual tourist destination 'Greyfriars Kirkyard'.
