A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. Laia P. (1r batx B)

Mary King's experience

In the ends of July I went to Edinburgh. There, I specially was delighted for the Mary King's close.

The Real Mary Kings close is an underground street placed in the heard of Edinburgh. It was one of the most important closes 400 years ago.

I have just started the tour and It was so dark indoors. The guide presented herself as a character of the stories and went downstairs with a lantern.

First we walked by many chambers and the guide explained us that the close was named Mary King's because she had the most productive business in the close at 1630's.

Next, we went to a room full of bunks and fake people made of plastic of something like this to represent the victims of the plague. As soon as I saw it I became frightened, there was a man (fake) that was wearing a mask as a peak, a complete black dress from head to feed, gloves and a hat. Long time ago it was belived that the plague spread through the birds. Nowadays, It is known that the rats’ fleas were the responsibles of this disease.

Afterwards, we went to "Annie's room". Annie was an abandoned girl who dead in this chamber. There's a story of a Japanese psychic who when tried to leave felt a tug of a ghost hand on her leg. From that day, everybody who know the story bring a stuffed animal for Annie.

When we left the room, I also felt a jerk on my leg, I turned and there was nobody behind me.

After all, sometimes the close is closed to do paranormal investigations and they have find out that Annie's room is always some grades under the rest of her house, they've captured "very faint white or transparent spheres" when were photographing the recreated workshop and they have heard steps in some recordings.

Definitely, there're many mysteries in this close of which have been researching and revealed true stories more astonishing than any fiction.
