Real life witch - James was a really excellent guide. He was very engaging, entertaining and quick witted. Lucky for us we had a real American witch/medium on the tour and she said she saw 2 male ghosts in the vaults. She also made sure to tell the spirits not to follow us when we left. This is a highly recommended late night activity in Edinburgh. Boo!
