The tour is led by a costumed guide, who
shows visitors around the building by candlelight, explaining the
various paranormal happenings at the sites where they have taken
place, including the back stairs, where people have reported a
ghostly servant falling to her death, A phantom girl seen and
heard in recent months, The story of the museum's most
notorious ghost, the 'Lonely ANZAC' Thomas Hunter.

What people have said about the Candlelit Tours
The Candlelit tour is an evening not to be
missed! Anyone interested in the paranormal, or Peterborough Museum
and it's history - (from being a large town house, to a hospital to
a museum) should definitely go along.
Well done for an enjoyable and informative
evening......may you continue to enjoy the success! (Carrie)
This was a most unusual and enjoyable
evening - and very spooky! The best team evening we've ever done!
