The International Ghost Society is a creative studio based in Edinburgh, Scotland. We design immersive events here and elsewhere.

You might know us because of our semi-regular Robot Vacuum Fight Club, or our Post-Apoclayptic Christmas Party in a nuclear bunker. Or you might have met us when we hosted an interactive Valentine’s Day gameshow, an Exorcism in a Coffee Shop, or an Edinburgh Fringe show about history’s most infamous episode of Come Dine With Me.

If you want to be in the know for future events, you should join our mailing list. It’s free, and we only ever email you when we have something in the works.

We also have a YouTube channel where we post videos about strange, spooky and interesting things. We’d love it if you subscribed to us there as well.

If you want to know what we’ve got planned next, check out our Stuff We’re Doing page. For things we’ve done in the past, take a look at Stuff We’ve Done. For anything else, Contact Us.
