The Dark Legend of Bloody George MacKenzie and the Black Mausoleum

Greyfriars Kirkyard is an Edinburgh graveyard that dates back to the 16th century, and it's the resting place of several famous characters, including the illusionist 'The Great Lafeyette' who died in a stage fire. But the most gruesome story here is that of Bloody MacKenzie – who's a kind of olden-day super villain. This wealthy lord was tasked with punishing hundreds of prisoners who refused to change their religion. It's said that he had a hand in thousands of deaths. Locals still talk of Bloody MacKenzie's ghost haunting the graveyard. One tale tells of his tomb being disturbed by a homeless man who broke into the graveyard at night. As soon as the man laid hands on the tomb of Bloody MacKenzie, the floor opened up beneath him and he dropped into a shallow grave - a plague pit - containing the remains of plague victims. Since then, many other weird episodes have taken place nearby. A woman was found unconscious with bruises around her neck and many claim that it was MacKenzie's poltergeist, continuing his evil deeds in death as he did in life. #history #scotland #edinburgh #ghost
