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.

Since I live in Texas this is the only way I can see these awesome places .. thank you so much ❤

We have more to fear from our fellow human beings and from within ourselves than from any "ghosts".

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.

Lovely tour of such a cool historical cemetery. I have no problem with the dead, it's the living that give me fits 😊Thank you for the great video.

Hi 👋 I had a great aunt Jean Reoch who lived overlooking Greyfriers Kirkyard I remember visiting her many times when I was young, when I got bored of the adult conversation I would have a wander around the Kirkyard and then cross over to Chambers Street and have a good couple of hours in the Museum. Oh I wish I could go back and live it all over again those were the days. 🥃🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The story of the little dog is so very sad. They say he grieved himself to death. I was just a child and hearing it made me cry.

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.

If I recall right, the Black Mausoleum is in fact a seperate mausoleum inside the Covenanters' Prison. Most of the scratch, bruise, or faint incidents are said to have happened there.

My friend is the tour guide there. It's not the black mausoleum where the poltergeist is, that's a common mistake. It's actually in the covenanters prison.

This cemetary is horribly eerie in my opinion!😲You have way more determination than I would! THANK YOU for taking me along!🥰

Grey friars bobby...what a superb film 😊

All of Edinburgh has a vibe doesn’t it? Whatever it is it seems to be captured within those gates - and it can stay there 😮

Since you live in the UK and have visited so many cemeteries there, you have most likely been or seen many of my ancestors there. My past includes the Bacon family.. I love hearing your calming voice and thoughts in these videos. Keep up the great work….remembering our pasts..

This place is as creepy as hell, I would go there but not on my own and definitely in the daylight hours lol! Thanks for the tour, these are fascinating places. I definitely believe in the paranormal, had a few personal experiences myself to not do so.

I've been to Greyfriars Kirkyard at several occasions and will return on my next stay in Edinburgh. I have to admit, that this cemetery has an atmosphere of its own, especially when your're close to McKenzie's tomb. I am always interesdet, how other people feel around this place and what they experienced there.

Beautiful in a macabre sense. The housing butted against the monuments are crazy. The window between 2 monuments blew my mind a bit. Wonderful tour. Thank you!

Not a 12 year old girl, but I was excited to find Tom Riddles headstone 😂 I want to go back to Edinburgh so bad!!!

I heard the metallic sounding construction noises, and became concerned that old George MacKenzie👻 ☺was tapping on his dome! Thanks for selecting Greyfriars, its one of my favorites!

I wonder if this place was ever used for a horror movie…..if not it should be. Thanks again Dan for a great walk! Always appreciated, 👍🇨🇦

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.

Really old cemetery and amazing. That mausoleum with a standing statue wearing cape is creepy. I was waiting for a zoom-in to get a better view.

Surprise to see you round the corner from my flat. Hope you had a great time. Loads of other cemetery in the area, and would of been happy to take you.

John Adam is well known for his style of houses, sometimes you will hear about Adams fireplaces. Sandstone used to be a cheaper alternative and easier to shape but as you can see it doesn't last long.

I've seen ghosts since i was a little girl. They never scared me. The last one i saw was our dog when i was growing up. I saw her before my dad passed away in a car accident. She came to escort my dad to the other side.

This really was an interesting tour. So many were creepy, but unique.

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.

I'm a 54 year old "girl" and I LOVE Harry Potter!

I'm not 12 either but Harry Potter is playing right now on the TV I have seen it so many times I know what will happen before the characters do

Googled this place a bit....I would never go there alone 🫣...I would pee my pants with fear 🙈😬😂

I love this cemetery, it's different from most. Thank you for a fantastic walk.

I was there a few years ago, but my group didn’t linger as long as you did. It was a unique feeling place. Higher slope because of all the bodies buried?!?! I could have spent much more time. Love mystical Edinburgh.

That is a very beautiful cemetery. I like how everything is unique and not strictly uniform, which gives it the city of the dead feeling.

Omg how exciting to see this! Hi from San Antonio Texas in US😊I love cemeteries and spooky stories.

Not to be hyperbolic, but I'm not sure I've ever "felt" a place, though a video like this. I'm on Oahu in the pacific and feel like I'm looking into it. Hard to describe. You're a brave man.😅

Another awesome video Dan. The place was so eery but also beautiful in some way to me. Love the way you tell about the place. Would not go there at night. Looking forward to your next video. Love from Georgia USA

Very creepy 😳 Thanks for braving the tour!

If you visit grand stately houses ,the guides will proudly point out Adams architectural features. He was quite " the thing " at the time .

Such a beautiful old place. Just wish you would read the death dates and names to us. Thanks for sharing 👍

Been to this cemetry many times, iv never fully experienced scratches, pushed, but, it definitly gives u chills down the spine, whether that’s knowing the history, and expectations are high, I don’t know, but u certainly feel something, when u get close Loving these videos, reminds me many years ago, when I lived in Edinburgh, and how much I enjoyed walking around all these old cemeteries

Brave man. I don't like to visit cemeteries in case something comes home with me.

Very interesting sculpture and architecture, so many shapes and forms telling a story! I cannot see the hourglass at 20:38 ! I find this walk relaxing.

Sorry for missing the premiere. This is a fascinating cemetery. I love it.

Respect these souls. What we don’t know about death 💀 is far far greater than what we do know.

What a beautiful cemetery 🪦. l loved visiting the kirk/ graveyard as a child and adult. There’s nothing more interesting and peaceful but to have a walk around and see all the different centuries of headstones. A lot of symbolism i. e pharaoh’s, skull and bones, cherubs, sun, angels and tall column on the headstones.

Love watching ur videos pal..... nothing better than watching these type of videos on a Sunday morning. I am fascinated with graveyards myself around Ireland and as I live in Dublin I go to glasnevin a lot there yesterday and I love how these places make me so alive. Keep up the good work greetings from Ireland, Stephen

I've always enjoyed the mystery and beauty of graveyards from a very young age. Living in Woodford Green Essex, and having Epping forest to wonder though......This place, however,is horrendous to me...a more sinister, ugly place I have yet to see anywhere else on my travels through life... A dreadful eyesore in every sense of the word.

As a lady that still injoys Harry Potter I'd love to see your video on the gravestones but I can't find it in your listing. The magic never dies .

Thank you for taking me to places I would never be able to go on my own

I’ve just discovered your channel..awesome thank you. You go where I’ll never have a chance, and I really appreciate your tours. Much love and respect from Canada.

Would be cool to see you break out the ol drain camera. See if we can't see what's in the black mausoleum!

Hi just subscribed, great channel, very interesting! Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos. Thanks so much lisa & Gord ❤👍

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!👻

I really enjoyed this walk - thank you. I'll be checking out your other videos. Hope to one day get over the pond to visit this place.

This cemetery is really creepy alot of old graves are there much history great video has always Possum 😊

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?

Doesn’t seem to bad this place. Nice for a picnic in the summer. Seriously though, if you feel uneasy, a 6th sense if you will, that something a little off. Then it probably is.

I seen small Clips of video about this place but it wasn't this extensive. You are doing an amazing job at showing a lot more than what I've seen on other channels. Thank you, please keep it up.

Hi I'm new to your channel but I have watched and left likes to the videos iv watched On you latest video as you turned to face the black mausoleum you can hear someone exhale your talking as it happens Keep up the fantastic work 👍 👌

I love this place.Thank you for the great tour.

In London, the old churchyards can be several feet above the bordering walks. Layers of burials over centuries, until the churchyards were closed and cemeteries were moved to the outskirts.

I’m looking forward to it

sorry i missed the live stream, been busy lately!..wow, with it's dark history and obvious age, the place definitely creates it's own creepy ambiance for sure! enjoyed the tour, thanks Dan! see you on the next one 👍✌️☕

We have been here twice. Fascinating and erie. Thanks for the walk about.

Great tour of the cemetery. Thanks for sharing.

I visited here with my mom and sister. We had no idea the history behind this place but we all love graveyards. Can’t say I felt anything uneasy, I was just in awe of how beautiful it is.

Those mortsafes also might have deterred grave robbers who just wanted jewelry/valuables instead of the corpse. 🙂

Beautiful monuments abound in this cemetery. Intriguing. Would love to walk through here during the day.

I am half way through watching your videos thay are amazing. And great history.

Thank you so much for the very interesting video. I’ve only ever seen bits of this place on other videos and never new it was so vast. I would love to go there someday because of your commentary ,knowledge , and facts. Good job and your voice kept my interest 😊

Thank you for all the history .really enjoyed the video .

Some of my ancestors are from Edinburgh . Wish I could take a trip there. I've heard it's beautiful. 😊

Love the story about the little doggie.

When the people erected these beautiful monuments for themselves, they didn’t know that that one day it all would be falling apart, and no one would remember them anymore.

I walked around here at dusk, very creepy, didn’t stay long too many homeless

The Scottish band Goodbye Mr Mackenzie wrote a song about Mackenzie and also Deacon Brodie. Shirley Manson of Garbage used to sing and play keyboards in the band.

This pretty cool cemetery!!! thank you showing us

i really enjoyed this walk. Thank you.

"i'm not massively into harry potter...i'm not a 12 year old girl" That gave me a good laugh lol

What a beautiful cemetery! Oddly enough, during the daytime it has a slight erie look and probably feel to it, so I can image how it would feel at night? I can imagine there's plenty of spirits waiting to be greeted. 👻👻

Very cool. I lived the tour. Thank you.

I would love to go there. And yes I would want to go in the locked areas. I have a fascination with graveyards. I have to touch them.

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

Great walk as always👍That place is very atmospheric 😱 it looks like even if it were sunny, ☀️it would still be spooky 👻would not like to be locked in there at night👀❤️🇨🇦

You can tell this cemetery was for the rich only . Beautifully scary but I love it 😍😍😍. Thank you so much .

Very interesting and informative, as well! 😊

I always have to visit this wonderful cemetery when I visit Edinburgh love it

Thankyou for your time today I injoy be here with you 😊 Sandra Boston Massachusetts. 😊

Thank you. Great vid

My favourite place, love it, great video ❤

That is one intensive I've never seen any like that, awesome. ☠️🙀👍💯

Very cool! I had the opportunity to do a ghost tour of Edinburgh back in 2002. It was great to see this graveyard in the light of day. We didn't experience any paranormal activity that night, but it was great fun nonetheless.

Some kids stole the skull from the crypt when I lived in Edinburgh and used it as a football.They were prosecuted for desecration of a sepluchre

My shadow would be home before me, it still looks very busy, well haunted

Wow there’s some amazing looking grave stones x

Stunning craftsmanship.

Valley of the Kings was patrolled by military units. Trash after Cologne cemetery. Fabulous sandstone buildings in background.

Great fun, thanks for doing this. Wednesday needs to film here. You haven't seen Edinburgh if you haven't seen this.

E.A. Poe would be excited to sit down in the middle of that place and create one last spooky tale ...
