Well, the third Edinburgh GhostFest is over. It was most definitely bigger than the previous two years’ events – but was it better? For the first GhostFest in 2005 I was pretty much able to go to everything – no clashes of programmes and not too many events spread out over the week. This year, it would have been impossible to see and participate in everything (even I need to sleep). With so many things happening and a number of events running as parallel threads, some choices had to be made.

For those who aren’t familiar with the GhostFest, it’s a series of events in the centre of Edinburgh, one of the worlds most haunted cities (but most places claim that, don’t they?).
