Tour
Review
My sister, my best friend, my daughter and I went on a night Ghost
tour of Richmond on 16 August 2007.
At first we were very apprehensive but I must say that we thoroughly
enjoyed every scary experience.
You could not ask for a better tour host than Alan, his stories
were very dramatic and entertaining.
We huddled close and listened attentively to every word and the
chills that ran up our spines were intensified by the
chill in the night.
We have not stopped talking about the tour and we took some great
photos. Most of the shots are full of orbs,
particularly at the cemetery, just outside the gaol and under the
bridge. We will be sending Alan the photos
and he might choose some for his website.
We can’t wait to return and go on another of Alan’s
Richmond Ghost tours.
