    Edinburgh underground part 2. A very interesting place and a great experience hearing the relation of stories of wee Annie and the other ghosts that are said to be haunting the dark corridors and rooms of Mary King's Close. Unfortunately photography was not allowed, which sadly minimizes the chances of the visitor capturing any potential 'paranormal' phenomena which are usually not easy to notice by the naked eye alone...
