We have extended their opening hours for the month of August to try and get to the bottom of a long running mystery – ghosts seem to be appearing!

 

For the first time we will be opening its doors and running tours through its warren of ghostly streets right up until ‘witching hour’ for the month of August in an effort to get to the bottom of the mystery appearances.

 

Our staff were first alerted to the ghostly appearances last October when a member of the public queried his souvenir photograph which appeared to include one extra person than was booked on the tour.  A few weeks later a similar event occurred and on examination of the photographs the ghostly image appears to be of the same woman.

 

Our Marketing Manager said  “We hope that by extending the hours of opening we can get to the bottom of this mystery. We’ve long been associated with supernatural and unexplained stories. We’ve had sightings of dark shadowy figures who lurk in the myriad of passageways, rooms and corners of the Closes, and reports of lots of strange noises – these images seem to give us even more evidence. By running tours late in to the night with the last one finishing at midnight , we hope that this might make the ghostly image reappear. We have spent a long time studying these photographs and cannot come to a satisfactory conclusion. In both these images there appears to be a blurry ghostly image of a blond haired lady which we cannot explain, and we hope that by making the images public that someone might be able to help. If there are people in the images who can explain who the lady is we would love to hear from them. We’ve tested the static camera that we use and it appears to be working normally so we really do not have an explanation. We just want to try and understand what has happened.”
