Ghost hunting take two
I’m attempting another go at my ill fated #ldnghoststories tomorrow night. This time, however, I have secured a small group of people from all walks of life to join in. All I had to promise them was a plethora of pubs along the route. I have delivered. However, there is a proviso that the pubs are haunted. This means revisiting bleeding heart yard, but I don’t mind.
It’s an interesting concept that I’ve been kicking around for the past month or so. These little ghost walks (I now carry around my book, just in case I chance into a chartered area) are teaching me a fair bit about London’s history, albeit the slightly stranger, innacurate version. It has become a bit of an obsession too. I’ve purchased a ghost radar app for the iPhone (you wouldn’t believe how many trains are haunted. Same goes for my work’s relatively new office block and a brand new cinema!). I’ve also downloaded some other supplies, such as dark room (to take photos in the dark), night vision (for night vision…) and spooky ghost noise (for when imagination isn’t enough). Sure, the iPhone can’t take photos in the dark, doesn’t have the technology for night vision or have ghost living inside it, but that’s completely beside the point. It’s really the same way that people download Facebook or a Twitter client to pretend they have friends. I download these to pretend I’m a ghost hunter.
The ghost hunting starts at 7pm GMT on Tuesday 23rd. Follow our live updates by searching #ldnghoststories or wait for the full blog posts and photo evidence of my ghost hunting group’s soiled undergarments.
