In Scotland, capital of Edinburgh, a ghost story is an important part of their culture. Fog enveloped the streetscape and mysterious folk legend, make Edinburgh the "ghost culture" have a style of one's own. A lot of the castle into a hotel all flaunt oneself is the authentic "haunted places". If you live in the haunted hotel not fun, can also participate in Edinburgh organized by the "ghost tour", experienced a "ghost fun in the local".
Strange atmosphere created "Harry Porter"
Edinburgh is a city witnessed many bloody. In 1093 Scotland's Queen Margaret died here. The Edinburgh Castle military prison, was imprisoned Napoleon's soldiers, now a French soldier scratching traces remain in the wall. In addition, the medieval occurred in the local of the official story is beyond count. The history of these folk artists have been covered with mysterious, more be guide today are adding the trimmings into "ghost story".
In Edinburgh City, the reporters saw many called "narrow alleys Close". For the convenience of the residents of the mountain before listening to the priest who preached, Edinburgh built up the Hill Lane, which has now become "Close". Now, these ancient alley looks a bit spooky grim. The novel "Harry Porter" by Rowling, while living in Edinburgh, the most like to linger on among these old streets, and obtain many ghost stories from the inspiration of the. The unique qualities of Edinburgh is also reflected in other literary creation. A hand created Sherlock Holmes writer Conan Doyle, "Dr. Jekyll" author Stevenson is Edinburgh person. In the Square Metro Sherlock, still standing "Sherlock Holmes" characters in the statue.
"The journey" in the middle of the night on
Edinburgh and Moscow are basically the same latitude. The only inconvenience and high latitude to bring is the winter sun early, at 3 in the afternoon half-day completely black. The reporter went in October, to seven or eight at night, few pedestrians on the street, shops closed, the light is dark.
When there are less and less people, when it was dark, there have been some dressed in black robes of the ancient people in the street. They came by twos and threes quietly to reporters in the Royal avenue. Royal Avenue at Scotland is the important royal residence, with the ups and downs of road. The man in black walked monument, waved to us. They are specifically with tourists in the night special tour guide. This theme is: the ghost of the journey.
We first visit the witch field. Edinburgh has a lot of executed witch logo, used to decide a person is it right? The witch, the judge will be taken to the north of the city of Edinburgh lake, then push to go. If the suspect has sink to the bottom of drowning, just to prove that she is innocent; if without sinking, we agreed that she was a witch, and then burned at the stake. Black tour guide on one side, while the reporter to the left to the charcoal stack traces.
Leave the field, we got into a cellar. The tour guide quietly told reporters, here was a morgue. In seventeenth Century to eighteenth Century bubonic plague of Europe, Edinburgh many people died. In order to control the disease, the patient all concentrated in the old city, don't give them food and water, to emerge of itself and perish of itself. "The ghost does not spread from here". Many people claim that this seen "ghost". The cellar in the candle reflection is haunt, black tour guide occasionally use ventriloquism issued some "supernatural" sound scare tourists.
Haunted places high prices
In Edinburgh, usually ghost much more fierce room prices higher, but often guests booking in advance, business is fire. Each year in May, Edinburgh will hold the "King Marie ghost festival". When the wizard world, witch will gather here to exchange experience, psychic. Why is Edinburgh so prevailing ghost culture? A British scholar explained, in addition to the reasons of history and geography, the island of Britain is related to how much. British narrow territory, people's living space is limited, the so-called "long way", in fact, going on to the beach. British ghost daydream is avoidance of the limited space, this phenomenon is also reflected in the Japanese.
