Due to popular demand, Cardiff Castle<\/a> has added extra dates to its Ghost Walk<\/a> this Halloween.<\/p>\n

Initially, the castle planned one Halloween tour, but additional guided walks will now be taking place on November 10 and 24.<\/p>\n

Jim Cowan, who runs the ghost tours, said, \u201cPeople 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supplementary to these, he attributes the success of the tours down to the fact that they are not ghost hunts or paranormal investigations.<\/p>\n

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

\"Guests<\/a>

Guests will gain access to parts of the castle that are normally closed to the public. (Photograph attributed to: givingnot@rocket-mail.com)<\/p><\/div>\n
