ALLEYWAYS AND SHADOWS
THE OLD CITY GHOST WALK
MEETING POINT
OUTSIDE EXIT THREE OF BANK UNDERGROUND STATION.
Twilight creeps its weary way through the alleyways and courtyards of the old City. It dapples the history steeped streets in a cloak of sinister shadows. Its gnarled fingers scratch at the windows and rattle the doors as the city of the dead begins to stir and long departed souls walk once more those places that they knew well in life.
Thus London's world famous haunted tour sets off in to the night and goes to the very places where ghosts are known to lurk.
* You will venture
into a sinister alley where, legend holds, the unwary may feel the touch of the
Devil's breath on the back of their necks. A chilling prospect with which to
begin your evening's exploration of the hidden places of haunted London.
* A few short strides and you have arrived at the site of Scrooge's counting house in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.
* Then it's into a silent churchyard where tales of the body snatchers and their nefarious activities are guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine and a chill to your marrow.
*
The
Black Nun is the next wandering shade to drift across our path as you hear of
the tragic event that brings her back to these ancient streets time and time
again, fruitlessly searching for her long lost brother.
*
Your next destination is an old, old courtyard where a deliciously sinister ghostly tale will unfold before you. Richard has been telling this tale now for over twenty years and has developed a narrative that is both chilling and evocative. The story
tellers art doesn't get much better as the
group is lulled into a false sense of security before being made to jump out of
their skins as several surprises with which the narrative is littered cause
them to huddle closer, closer and closer still as the shadows seem to suddenly
grow deeper.
Old alleyways and older courtyards take you ever deeper into the city of shadows where lost souls wander the night hours seeking eternal rest but finding only torment and sorrow.
* You will then view the esteemed City building where
many people on
the walk have encountered possible
paranormal activity.
It is a city landmark not widely known for its ghostly activity but one which
most certainly has a haunting tale to tell.
* Next, Richard will tell you of the
strange happening that occurred on this tour in September 2003, when a woman
participant
was overcome and became severely distressed when she appeared to tune in to a
long ago act of infamy that occurred on and near this spot. In fact in April 2006 several other people on different
tours also experienced the same sensation in the same alleyway. So be warned!!
No sooner will you have taken in this strange tale than Richard will regale you with the most recent paranormal activity on the tour the strange case of the cursed cobblestone.
The final
destination on this truly chilling and evocative walk is the historic building
that has seen a huge amount of ghostly activity in recent years. Three
paranormal investigations have been carried out at this place and each one has yielded some alarming
and dramatic results. A spectral soldier has been seen in
its basement; a cold breeze has been known to chill the marrow of many a visitor
to its main function room; a ghostly girl has been known to greet visitors
entering the building and one of the groups who took the tour in August 2005
swore that they saw a ghostly lady waving to them from one of the upper windows. Add to
this the fact that several people who have photographed the building have
noticed orbs on their finished pictured and you have a wonderful final
destination at which to end your journey through the City of the Dead,
White ladies, sinister monks and unseen entities abound on a truly chilling yet fascinating tour that exposes a spectral city where the ghosts of previous times call softly across the centuries.
