Discover more about Peterborough's most
haunted building - the Museum - and most haunted area; the
Cathedral Precincts. Beware, you'll never look at Peterborough in
quite the same way again. The walk starts from the museum and
heads around the city centre, stopping at sites reputed to be
haunted. The walk is with a costumed guide, lasts about one and a
half to two hours and tells over a dozen stories of the
ghoulish and supernatural.
The walk is designed to be entertaining and
educational, a fun and theatrical way to find out more about the
city's past - whilst getting a few chills up the spine. There are
no gimmicks or made-up ghosts on this tour - just good,
old-fashioned story telling and the power of the stories
themselves. All of the stories told are either
traditional tales associated with the area, or told us by
local people in good faith - and researched and verified as far as
is possible.
The stories can be quite gruesome though - so the tour is not
recommended for children under 10 or those of a nervous
disposition! It is suitable for those who wish to come who are in a
wheelchair or have visual impairment. The walk has been featured on
radio, newspaper and television, including Channel 4's 'The Big
Breakfast' and Living TV's 'Most Haunted'.
