My wife and I, along with my brother and his girlfriend went on the English ghost tour on Saturday, August 29th.

It was a dreadful windy and rainy night. Luckily for us the weather kept the other people who had signed up for the tour away, and we had the whole thing to ourselves. I have to say the wind and rain added a little bit to the creepy factor.

Our guide was wonderful. I wish I had committed her name to memory so I could thank her properly. She was very knowledgeable and engaging with her story telling. We are not a very serious group of people, and the guide was able to switch from answering questions to performing without skipping a beat.

We seemed to cover a pretty good amount of the Old Town with several stops along the way for stories. What I enjoyed the most was that the guide took us to walk down some seemingly unsuspecting streets and alleyways that we would not have otherwise explored on our own and would have had no frame of reference for their significance.

The guide managed to make the tour spooky and creepy without resorting to cheesy "jump scares". She used the stories, natural environment, and good positioning to make us feel that creep factor. While the tour had some spooky moments, it was overall just a fun time with good stories and a different look at the city.

I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a good creepy story and walk around a cool city.
