You can 'visit' all of Edinburgh's most haunted spots in this spooky live tour

We're obsessed with tales of Edinburgh's paranormal happenings and now you too can learn everything you need to know about the capital's ghouls in a free online 'ghost tour'.

What entity haunts the South Bridge vaults? What is the real history behind the poltergeists and spirits that linger in Edinburgh Old Town?

Ash Pryce, stage mentalist and former Ghost Tour Guide, will tell you tales of Edinburgh’s old and ghostly world in a free-to-view Facebook Live this Friday at 2pm courtesy of Edinburgh's Lauriston Castle.

The castle comes with its own spooky history, where earlier this year the 'ghost' of an Edinburgh lord's wife was spotted haunting the building.

For the skeptics out there, Ash will also look at the research that has been used to both justify and debunk the hauntings of the old town.

He will spread his gaze further afield to East Lothian, where in 2009 the world’s most convincing ghost photograph was taken, but just what might be causing the entity? Tune in to find out.

To view 'Ghosts of Edinburgh' livesteam, visit Lauriston Castle's Facebook page at 2pm on Friday 24 July.
