Ghosts and Gadgets: Exploring the Supernatural on the Paranormal Activity Tour in Old London
The Paranormal Activity Tour in Old London is an immersive, two-hour exploration into the supernatural history of the city. Departing from Farringdon Station, this ghost tour delves into the grisly tales of execution sites, plague pits, and notorious criminals. With stops at locations such as abandoned gaol cells and plague burial grounds, the tour incorporates interactive paranormal investigation tools like K2 meters and dowsing rods, allowing participants to actively engage in ghost hunting.
The tour is rich in historical and ghostly lore, such as the tale of the infamous Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane, and it uncovers the brutal end of historical figures like William Wallace. Throughout the journey, participants encounter sites where commuters unknowingly walk over mass graves, remnants of London’s most harrowing past.
What makes this tour stand out is its fusion of historical detail with supernatural investigation. The guide not only narrates the haunted history of each location but also attempts to make contact with the spirits through the paranormal tools provided. Participants are guided to some of the city’s creepiest and most atmospheric sites, including the narrow, shadowy streets of Old London.
One highlight of the tour is the Gin Palace stop—a traditional London establishment where you can pause to soak in the chilling tales over a drink before continuing the ghost hunt. The setting of the tour—between ancient streets and hidden alleyways—makes for a spine-tingling experience.
Throughout the tour, there is a palpable sense of suspense, heightened by the frequent use of ghost-hunting devices. Reports of paranormal activity are high in several areas visited, adding to the excitement of the journey. Group sizes are kept small (10 participants), ensuring an intimate atmosphere, where everyone has the chance to participate in the ghostly investigations. This adult-only tour is perfect for thrill-seekers and those fascinated by the supernatural side of London.
