Edinburgh Haunted

There are very few places in the world quite as haunted as Scotland’s Edinburgh Vaults. Also known as the South Bridge Vaults, the series of nineteen chamber arches were home to local taverns, cobblers, and shops, but they also had a dark side. Edinburgh also became known as den full of thieves, murderers, and other nasty figures, making it one of the most dangerous places in the city, and considering the frightening reports that continue to come from the Edinburgh Vaults to this very day, the ghosts of the criminals are still very much at home.
Construction on the vaults was officially finished by 1788, and for 30 years the space was used by both the local tradesmen and the criminal element to conduct business, and business was booming. Street level of the Edinburgh Vaults was dedicated to the store fronts, where visitors could browse the markets for goods and visit the taverns for a drink. One level below was space dedicated to workshops, and just below those was a level with 120 rooms dedicated as living space.

For the three decades the Edinburgh Vaults were in operation, things ran smoothly above ground, even for the criminal element, but thanks to the shoddy craftsmanship of the vault’s builders, the South Bridge Vaults had one big flaw that stopped the tunnels from living up to their full potential. Huge cracks that ran throughout the bridge allowed every foul bit of run off from the city to seep into the vault’s lower levels, making the work and living spaces next to impossible to spend any length of time in.

By 1845 Edinburgh was overwhelmed with Irish immigrants fleeing the potato famine, each looking for refuge and work. Slum lords took advantage of their desperation, and the vaults became a place where many families could find shelter. With upwards of 10 people living inside the cramped, dark spaces that were only meant for one, things quickly began to get very bad for those who had no other choice but to live inside the Edinburgh Vaults.
