Ep 1: The Mackenzie Poltergeist


Listen Later

Hello and welcome to the PixieCast!

My name is Connor, I'm the Paranormal Pixie, and I've worked for over a decade as a ghost tour guide in various cities and I'm also a huge nerd. I wanted to create a space for me to share some of my favorite stories I've learn in my travels. Not just ghost stories and crime, but interesting people, fun moments in history, even some superhero movie drama. I hope you enjoy.

For my first episode I wanted to talk about a lesser-known poltergeist out of Edinburg Scotland.

In the late 17th century, George Mackenzie oversaw the prosecution of thousands during a religious revolution called the Covenanter's Uprising. In one of his most cruel acts, he sent over 1,000 men to be imprisoned in an outdoor prison on the grounds of Greyfriars. Hundreds of Covenanters died in the grueling conditions.

Years later, Mackenzie was buried within a few hundred feet of the prison space, in a creepy black mausoleum. It all stacks up to be a recipe for a crazy haunting! So come along for the ride as we look into this story, and a few others from around Greyfriars cemetery.

- Thanks for listening, I apologize for the wonky audio! It will get better I promise.
