Ectoplasmic Edinburgh
In this very special episode of International we go back to where it all began, Edinburgh! In Ep.23 Ectoplasmic Edinburgh, we are joined by our good friend Sarah as we take a trip down haunted memory lane and explore how the great gothic city brought us all together and revved up our interest in the spooky side of things. Alana introduces us to the debauched Wizard of West Bow, Thomas Weir. Liam goes personal and tells the tale of his many trips down beneath the city and into Edinburgh’s infamous and ghost-packed vaults. Sarah discusses one of the spectral residents of Mary King’s Close, a young girl called Annie who is perpetually looking for her lost doll.
Tangents include: Ebola as an excuse to get out of trouble, can I cook my sausages in your kitchen? All hail the Rat King! Crazy Edinburgh geography.
