About the Event
After sunset, join us on a chilling journey through the ancient jitties, lanes and streets of medieval Geddington with historian and master story-teller Kam Caddell as your guide. Reviving traditions from our ancient pagan and Christian pasts, telling ghostly tales and reliving the ancient tradition of Souling.
Walk in the shadows after sunset, as your ancestors once did, while your guide recreates the dark past and the paranormal present, leaving you questioning, "Are these just legends or…?"
Whether sceptic or a true believer, you'll be captivated by Kam’s mesmerizing storytelling. With four decades of experience as a teacher and lecturer of history, Kam brings a unique blend of entertainment and authenticity to every tour.
All participants will receive wards to keep away the spirits and be rewarded traditional 16th century treats - if they can complete the challenges the night will demand.
As you wander among the historic lanes, keep your senses sharp and your wits about you, for who knows what spectral surprises await around each corner?
