The Lincoln Ghost walk has been running since 1996.
Their interest started when they moved to Lincolnshire and bought (unbeknownst to them) a haunted cottage. They had a ghost cat and a rather unfriendly man. When they eventually moved to a modern house, the cat moved with them!
They continue to experience ghostly "happenings" and meet many people on the ghost walk who tell them about their encounters with ghosts.
If you want to learn the history of Lincoln through a spookier, darker backdrop you won't be disappointed.
Current charges are £7.50 per adult, £5 per child aged 12 and under.
