Barnton Bunker Ghost Hunt Edinburgh Scotland with Haunting Nights
Barnton Bunker has just become available for an overnight ghost hunt with Haunting Nights and we can’t wait to take you there
A labyrinth of tunnels and a plethora of ghosts await
The demand for Haunting Nights 5 star Rated EXCELLENT Ghost Hunt in Scotland has brought us to this unique and atmospheric location where echo’s of the past still linger
Little known and hidden within the Edinburgh suburbs Barnton Bunker is a unique setting steeped in history dating back to WW2
Originally formed as part of Britain’s air defences during the Second World War the site later assumed various crucial, yet highly classified roles throughout the Cold War period until it was officially decommissioned in the early-1990s.
Although not widely known a vast array of historical events played out here during its time in active operation. And while its existence remained hidden through the 1950s it became the impromptu stage for Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) activism during the 1960s once the location was revealed by the Spies for Peace scandal of 1963…
Located approximately 4 miles from Edinburgh city centre the Barnton Bunker is concealed towards the northern section of Corstorphine Hill. The important historical site was and to some degree continues to remain unknown
This is by no means coincidence, for the disused quarry, surrounded by dense vegetation and woodland, was strategically chosen for its ability to conceal two of Scotland’s most important and top-secret bunkers
Barnton’s existence was inadvertently exposed and became a backdrop of CND activism throughout the 1960s. Demonstrators marched from Edinburgh city to protest outside the bunker’s gates and several break-in attempts caused damage and raised serious security concerns over the entire bunker network.
The stories of ghostly encounters and chilling activity are many with hushed conversations from deep in the tunnels, approaching footsteps, doors being opened by unseen hands.
During the restoration of the bunker tools and equipment have reportedly vanished only to appear a good distance away from where they were originally left.
Not only are the hauntings attributed to the construction and use of the bunker but also from the the quarry which was in use up until 1914
