Creeps, crimes and curious tales

Where: Start and finish in Imperial Square, Cheltenham

When: Various dates, starting Friday, July 13

Cotswolds Ghost Tours is continuing to offer historically themed, and gimmick-free ghost tours of Cheltenham throughout the summer months and into the autumn.

Curious tales of unsolved crimes and creepy paranormal occurrences lurk behind Cheltenham's Regency facades.

This tour debunks some of the weird stories surrounding ghostly goings-on at a major hotel; a murderous butler in a Victorian house; and some of the shadowy spectres lurking in a famous school.

With expert storytelling, Cotswolds Ghost Tours reveal the facts in a gruesome murder case which gripped the nation in the 1930s, and also unmasks Cheltenham's very own Jack the Ripper suspect.

You'll also hear first-hand accounts from the case of the original and real Woman in Black: one of the most documented and researched cases in British paranormal history from Victorian era Cheltenham.

There's no need for staged scares on this tour as the incredible history of real "Creeps, Crimes & Curious Tales" is revealed at the heart of Cheltenham.

Statistically, there are in fact more paranormal experiences which have occurred in the hours of daylight than in darkness, so summer may well be your best chance to spot a few of Gloucestershire's renowned spooks!
