About this Event
“While it's easy to dismiss and belittle a living woman...it is much harder to silence a ghost: She has remarkable staying power.”
Phantom Femmes is a new ghost walk around the city, focussing exclusively on stories of women ghosts. On this tour you will be regaled with tales of:
A tragic workhouse girl that takes afterlife vengeance...
Wife selling…
A notorious 'itchy' ghost
A heinous criminal...
A peeping Tom spirit...
And more...!
Unlike my other tours, this walk isn't theatrical. Yes I may dress a bit goth as I lead you around, but there won't be the usual comedy and dramatic costumed vignettes, or characters leaping out. But don't worry, it'll be just as spine-chilling and full of intriguing stories. AND, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a psychic medium, or at least an aspiring one - you will have an opportunity to do a bit of paranormal investigation yourselves, if you wish. How? Well, this will be revealed on tour...
What we will also discuss is why so many ghost stories are based around women, and what this tells us about women's lives both then and now. After all, the ghost story is more popular than ever, and is that because it is still needed?
Don't worry if you don't spot any ghosts on tour. We finish the journey at one of London's most haunted pubs, famous for gin. So you can always drink some spirits instead! :-)
This tour will be officially launching in October for spooky season and is now available to book!
** Trigger warning: some of these stories contain upsetting details of abuse and violence.
