I’ve been attending Shiverpool’s Spooky Tours for several years now and their latest addition around the gravestones of St James’ Cemetery is the perfect setting for such eerie encounters. The atmosphere of the Necropolis is only emphasised by the storytelling abilities of the talented tour guides and their flawless ability to capture your attention and imagination while entertaining so effortlessly throughout. I recommend any of their tours to anyone and everyone as each one has something different to offer you, so the question is never about whether you should attend, it’s more about which tour you should attend first! Exceptional as ever! 👻
