Castle ghost tours are a big hit

Due to popular demand, Cardiff Castle has added extra dates to its Ghost Walk this Halloween.

Initially, the castle planned one Halloween tour, but additional guided walks will now be taking place on November 10 and 24.

Jim Cowan, who runs the ghost tours, said, “People are interested in the ghost walks for all kinds of reasons but they are successful because I blend three things to create the walks; the paranormal, history, and simple old-fashioned story telling.”

Supplementary to these, he attributes the success of the tours down to the fact that they are not ghost hunts or paranormal investigations.

As guests are led through passages around the castle, they will be regaled with spooky stories that have been collected throughout the ages.

Guests will gain access to parts of the castle that are normally closed to the public. (Photograph attributed to: givingnot@rocket-mail.com)
