Do you enjoy a good ghost story? A lot of us do! So why not find someone who can tell that story in such a way,that it will almost seem like the ghosts are there playing out the scene for you! I recently had the pleasure of finding such a person. Flecky Bennett! With his red eyes and snarling grin as well as his strange dress sense ,he engaged our group with his unique story telling abilities.
His ghost walks either take you around the streets of Manchester or on a dark and cold underground tour of the now abandoned air raid shelters and subterranean canals of the city. You can book, your tour found on his website where you can also find all you need to know regarding footwear (sensible,flat,don’t mind getting them wet) torches for the underground experience and all the health and safety do’s and dont’s so to avoid you ending up with your creepy tour guide giving you mouth to mouth resuscitation! (Haha)
I’ve been on both walks, but if I had to choose it would be the tunnel tour. With its dark tunnels and spacious arch ways it certainly creates a dark and foreboding place for ghosts to roam. His calls to the spirits sometimes create some strange results and his seance is very chilling to experience. With a helping of Flecky’s sense of dark humour thrown into the mix you’ll be fully engaged in his world. If you prefer something less dark and terrifying though, the street walk is perfect for taking in Manchesters architecture, local haunted sites and forgotten walk ways. You’ll even find out where the dead centre of Manchester is and what it has to do with a headless dog! (Even though the tunnel tour has changed it’s location it’s still a must for those with nerves of steel!)
A skeptic though I am I still enjoyed the sensation of feeling slightly scared of the unknown and also intrigued by some of the stranger knocking sounds Flecky’s spirit friends were supposedly? making for us. It’s such an enduring mystery as to what’s on the other side, I couldn’t help but be intrigued. Flecky’s website: Manchesterghostwalk.co.uk Warning!
