My husband and I are currently on holiday in edinburgh for a week. We love a good walking tour, especially ones about ghosts or famous crimes. Tonight we went on the a ghost tour of greyfriars kirkyard and the edinburgh vaults. My husband isnt really into the parnormal or anything but he is a pretty sensitive guy (sorry hun 😋) and has had a genuine ghost before but that was years ago. The kirkyard was fine, the tour guide told us a few gruesome stories about the prisoner camp that was there and the murderers Hare and Burke. Then he took us down to the vault. We went into three vaults. The first was nothing much. The second had a stone circle in it which we were told not to step into as bad things have happened to some people who have. Our tour guide told us he had to call an ambulance once because a man who stepped in to the circle instantly fainted and hit his head on one of the rocks and split it open pretty bad. The guide dared us all to step in but no one did. I was tempted until My husband said "dont you dare" pretty emphatically so i didnt and then we left. The third vault was completely dark. The only light was from the flashlight the guide had and he kept it covered most of the time. He began telling us a story of the edinburgh fire and of a family who escaped down into the vaults. The woman and children were shut away in the vaults by their husbands who left to help fight the fires. They never came back and their families were essentially baked alive iin the vaults from the heat of the fire above. To save their children from suffering the women sliit their throats before killing themselves. The whole time hes telling us these stories my husband is pretty quiet but kept grabbing me and grabbing my hand for comfort. The only thinng he says to me in a whisper is "do you smell that?" I didn't smell anything but just as he said that the guide mentions people smelling sulfur iin the vaults which smells kind of like a fart. I look at my husband like 😳. The tour finishes and we leave and my husband is clearly shaken and wants to get away asap. He said the whole time we were in there all he felt was an ugent sense of needing to get out. He also said he felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck like someone blowing through a straw directly on his neck (theres no way a breeze can reach inaide those vaults. The guide even said that at the start). He also said he wanted to cry at one point and didnt know why, as well as smelling the sulfur none of which i felt. He said he felt cold most of the time (it actually felt quite mild to me) until just before the guide started talking about the fire and that was when he suddenly felt very hot and began sweating profusely. He was very shaken up when we left and his pulse was racing. I felt absolutely nothing the whole time even though I desperately wanted to. i totally believe him though, hes not the type to just make things like that up. Guess im just not on the right wavelength or something.

Im wondering if anyone else has anything similar happen in the vaults?
