Hauntings: The Edinburgh Executioner TV Guide

Hauntings · Series 1 · The Edinburgh Executioner

On the night of Christmas 1998, a homeless man enters the infamous Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. Seeking refuge, he breaks into the tomb of George Mackenzie - Edinburgh’s famous executioner - and then falls into an assembly of decomposing corpses. His screams are heard above ground, but something else has been disturbed. Within weeks, stories of blackouts and inexplicable attacks begin to spread. The injuries are so severe that Edinburgh City Council locks the gates and declares the area out of bounds for public safety. Jan Andrew Henderson begins to chronicle the Mackenzie Poltergeist - only to claim to become a target of its malice.
