Based on the London Ghost Bus, you'll board a luxury bus and be thoroughly entertained from 7pm - 12pm with ghost, murder & mystery stories in your city by professionally presented and very dramatic tour guides. Hailed as the best in the world, these tours offer a bit of everything for everyone's different tastes: pub stops to get into the spirit, meals, entertainment, science of the paranormal, live & dramatically recorded ghost stories, historical buildings, several off-the-bus stops include audience participation where you will learn to divine water with dowsing rods and witness a spoon being bent with mind-power. Ending with a chilling climax in a graveyard ... at midnight of course!
Programme: The tours are well-researched, and are not a ghost train ride or haunted house attraction. To the best of our knowledge, our tours offer far, far more than any ghost tours world-wide. Instead of just a walking tour, and in a limited area - or just a bus tour, looking only through the windows - we travel further afield and also get off the bus to walk around. In order to try to suit all tastes, instead of the usual historical type ghost tour, we also add in the science of parapsychology and the different types of ghosts. Furthermore, we add some entertainment with pub stops along the way, an eerie storytelling area at one of the pubs, audience participation (where you will use some curious apparatus), and some dramatically recorded stories with scary sound effects & haunted music. Most of stories are told live, about the not so alive, where the coach will whisk you away into the darkness of the night to hear about ghosts, poltergeists, haunted buildings, castles (or forts), and more. Some of you may even make it into the cemetery at the end of the tour ... at midnight, of course.
Due to time constraints, the 'Off-The-Bus' Stops are limited to the following:
Pub stops, where you can eat and have some drinks to calm your n-e-r-ves and get you into the spirit. An eerie storytelling area at one of the pubs.An outside venue for some audience participation, where you will use water-divining rods to prove the existence of invisible energies & force fields. The inside of a cemetery, where the tour is wrapped up with a chilling conclusion. (We cannot offer more off-the-bus stops as this extends the tours far beyond midnight)
Itineraries are subject to change.
