Go on it, it is well worth the money (£8.50 or £7.50 for groups of 10 or more). Basically two guys tell the stories and a third is the 'ghost' who appears at certain points in the tour. The Hope St one lasts about one hour 15 mins and takes in the following:-

Ghosts of Workhouse fire of early 1800s
Ghost of L'Pool Metropolitan Cathedral - a man who commited suicide
MacKenzies Tomb - St Andrews Church Rodney St
Banshee of Back Maryland St
Hope St Chamber of Horrors
Hudkissons Tomb Anglican Cathedral.

I'm going on the Tom Slemen tour which covers all of his 13 books. It lasts 3 months 1 week, 2 days, 7 hours, 13 mins and 7 seconds. In all 795 ghosts jump out at you.

Only 795?
Not worth getting out of your grave for.

The banshee of Back Maryland Street!

Something to die for

We went on the Valentines tour last night. It was really good - pure theatre. I don't believe in all the tales but it was very atmospheric. They took us into St James Cemetary to Huskisson's tomb, the natural spring (the pool reflects the Cathedral beautifully). It was well worth the money and I would go on the Maritime one. I am thinking of taking my daughter for her birthday.

They never took us as far down as the tomb because the path was too slippy due to the snow. The snow added a great dimension to the whole tour though.

Sounds good. Think we'll do the tour sometime.
