Your Experience

On this ‘adult only’ occasion, you will come across tales that have never seen the light of day. Yes, you got that right - a tour conducted in the chill of the night, and deep underground in hidden vaults that relay a dark and storied past. Begin above along the winding and narrow alleyways of Old Town and make your way below ground. Ghost tours rely solely on the storytelling power of the tour guide. On this tour, you can be sure to be twitching with unease and horror - an assured revival of the capital’s tormented history. As you head into the Blair Street Underground Vaults, illuminated by flickering candles and the occasional burst of light from your guide’s handheld torch, you will feel the weight of an unnerving atmosphere settle upon you. Hear about real-life murders and hangings, and accounts of demons, dead children and ghosts as you wander through narrow passageways that serve the perfect undertone for a bone-chilling narrative.
