MON. MAY 17 - MON. MAY 31, 2027
Eerie inns, cursed castles, wicked woods, and a tavern dedicated to the double-life of Deacon Brodie, the real world inspiration for Jekyll & Hyde. Plus Dracula Town, the City of 1,000 Ghosts, Greyfriars Kirkyard (home to the Black Mausoleum), and the Edinburgh Vaults—a series of chilling chambers formed in the nineteen arches of South Bridge, where cadavers were stored and crime ran rampant. Explore the most haunted places in Scotland and England while reading ghost stories and Gothic fiction by the famous authors who lived and wrote there. Then spin a few dark yarns of your own.
