Ghost Stories - the haunted heritage of a location brought to life

Every room has a story to tell… you just need to close your eyes and listen…

Ever told a ghost story at night? Ever told one in a haunted location while the ghosts watch on? 

Ghost Stories are a collection of stories told by the characters that lived the story as you explore the haunted location by torchlight. Dark and atmospheric, the tour puts you in the heart of the action, no need for gimmicks, sets or props - the real location for the story is all the experience needs, for a darkly theatrical experience. Experienced story tellers guide you around the location, telling you the creepiest ghost stories, sinister tales that relate to the location you are standing in, told by the characters that lived the experience. 

Each location has its own collection of story, time period and collection of characters to ensure you get a true sense of the deep heritage of the site.
