Most Haunted season 4 episode 7 takes the crew to Mary Kings Close, an underground street in Edinburgh's Old Town that dates back to the 16th century. The Close was once a bustling neighborhood, but it was eventually abandoned due to a plague outbreak in the 17th century.
The crew begins their investigation by exploring the narrow passageways and hidden rooms of the Close. They quickly make contact with several spirits, including a little girl named Annie and a man named Mr. Boots. Annie is said to have died of the plague, while Mr. Boots was a wealthy merchant who lived in the Close during its heyday.
The crew also learns about the darker history of the Close, including its use as a place of confinement for the sick during the plague outbreak. One ghost, known as "The Watcher," is said to have been a guard who stood at the entrance of the Close, preventing anyone from leaving or entering during the quarantine.
As the night progresses, the crew experiences several unexplained occurrences. Yvette, the show's host, hears footsteps following her around the Close, and several crew members report feeling cold spots in certain areas. One crew member, Karl, is even physically pushed by an unseen force.
The crew sets up several experiments throughout the Close, including a seance in an old prison cell. During the seance, they make contact with a spirit who claims to have been falsely accused of a crime and imprisoned. The crew also uses a device called an EMF meter to measure electromagnetic energy, which is believed to be associated with paranormal activity.
Finally, the crew retires to the chamber where Annie is said to reside for a vigil. While there, they hear unexplained noises and see shadowy figures moving about the room. As the night comes to a close, the crew reflects on their experiences in Mary Kings Close, and marvels at the mysteries that still linger beneath the streets of Edinburgh.
Overall, Most Haunted season 4 episode 7 is a spooky and riveting exploration of one of Edinburgh's most haunted locations. The crew's experiences are sure to leave viewers wondering about the true nature of the paranormal.
