    Darker, more intimate and engaging tour

    This was our second (separate) ghost tour in a month (family had come to visit so took them around the sites). I preferred this one! Our guide had some great stories and was a lot more interactive. Plus, the stories were a little darker than the other one we went on so was perfect
