A wall of the Greyfriars Kirkyard, covered with memorial tablets to those poor unfortunates committed to the ground, and possibly dug up at a later stage to be sold to the local university for dissection (a scarily easy way to make cash back in the day, the uni paying big coin for a freshly dead corpse)

The tomb of 'Bloody' George Mackenzie, whose poltergeist is said to cause bruising, cuts and bites to those who come into contact with it. It was freed by a homeless man who broke into the vault to shelter from the rain. The ground inside gave way and he collapsed through into the tomb, unleashing the ghost of Mr Mac. The ghost made the homeless dude shit his potato sack. Later on, a schoolboy, hiding in the valt to escape from a fatal beating administered by his headmaster, lost his mind on being confronted by the ghost. It has since ignored demands for its return. A warrant is out for its arrest.

The grave of Bobby, the most loyal pup in the world. To this day passers-by still leave gifts of chew-toys or sticks for his ghost to fetch. Silly silly. He ain't fetchin' shyte I'm afraid. Poor thing's dead ay.
