Went on the Ghost tour tonight.
Turned up at the muster point and met the guide (Looks a lot like Ron Perlman and has a voice to match).
He started the tour with the Mercat Cross describing the some of the gruesome methods used in executing criminals. The criminal would be suspended by a rope around their ankles and the rope release. It was only long enough to stop them about 2 feet from the ground and this was repeated.
He recounted the story of a building that has now been demolished and he told the story of the murder that took place. He wove a good tale about not actually telling the story on the site but one alley (close) over as supernatural events have happened when the story has been told on the actual site.
We went to a number of places on the tour including the South Bridge Vaults which were a arched bridge where the arches were enclosed by buildings on either side resulting in a large number of vaults.and the tour company runs historical as well as ghost tours.
The guide is expert at making you believe in ghosts. The vaults were not as low as the mine tour so I could stand up in most with a bit of headroom, but almost all of the vaults have wet floors and walls.
