Scotland - Edinburgh - Greyfriar's Churchyard Cemetery - Originally, a dog named Greyfriar's Bobby stood faithfully on the grave of his master. Starting in late 1998, after the accidental disturbing of a grave site in the cemetery, a number of paranormal activities have been witnessed, since, by well over a hundred people. The area now known as the Black Mausoleum has been the site of intense poltergeist activity, such as cold spots; a sweet, nauseating smell; unseen watchers; and people being grabbed, knocked unconscious, and coming out of the mausoleum with cuts and bruises after feeling a presence touching, or stroking them. It is believed that the poltergeist is that of George Mackenzie, the persecutor of the Covenanters, who died and was entombed at the site in 1691. There is actually a tour that goes through the mausoleum during the night.(Which is probably why there are so many reported attacks.)
