Mary King's Close is a historic area located under buildings on the Royal Mile, in the historic Old Town section of Edinburgh, Scotland. It took its name from one Mary King, a merchant burgess who resided on the Close in the 17th century. The close has had a reputation for hauntings since at least the 17th century, with several paranormal investigations taking place- no surprise given some of the darker events and history that it bore witness too. In today's episode we explore the Close- its history and hauntings. As always, thank you for listening.
