So our second week of college has come and gone and on Friday we had a college outing to Edinburgh for the day to get some research for our "Multiples" project.
Now... Firstly, why did NOONE mention Edinburgh is a death-trap with hills and stairs galore?! I swear I have never been so sore and tired in all my life. We only got lost the once but it was hardly far off from where we had intended to go. I realised there were so many multiples in Edinburgh I got a bit snap happy with 440 ish photos throughout the day... oops. AND I lost my phone in the National Museum! Luckily I got it back not long after but jesus I was terrified.
Also, I would put up some of these photos but I am still sifting through them all... this might take me a while so yes, photos will be up at some point. Possibly after my editing starts.
Anyway, I guess I picked my multiple and it is definitely ghosts/the multiple lives that have passed through Edinburgh. Mary Kings Close's tour was amazing and educational about the time with little facts I had never known. A lot of it was rather creepy just due to the cramped surroundings and dim lighting. It really made you appreciate the sunshine. I was upset I couldn't record in the tunnel and I would have loved to take some sound recordings while we went through but there was no way I wouldn't I have been caught which was unfortunate. I was also disappointed that nothing paranormal was happening at all. We obviously couldn't just wander off into random tunnels to look for ghosts but everywhere we went was so uneventful in that way. a ghost tour there would be good to try but otherwise I will have to use the footage of Most Haunted and Ghost Hunters International, the television shows as reference to any form of haunting.
Since I HAVE to go back to Edinburgh I will look deeper into the older parts of the town and try to go to the more haunted spots. I heard about ghost tours that take part there, and it would be interesting to go on one and take real notes on the goings on.
I haven't got much to add from last weeks as those are all still the ideas I have for this project but I hope to have images and sketchbook pages to show next week. :)
