Williamstown Ghost Tour

The only thing I would recommend is listing the visitor information centre as the meeting place in the body of the email. Although there was a link provided in the email, it would be more user friendly if they included more information in the email.

No one showed up

Booked the tour and waited at the pick up point and no one showed up. I tried calling their number and was lead to an automated voicemail saying they are only open 9-5 Monday to Friday despite tours taking place on Saturday at 8:30. Will edit this review once I hear back from the company.

Where’s the Lsntern

A bit of a comedy without the laughs coming from the performer. This is definitely a make your own fun while being pushed from one spot the next. Do not expect to be in any way scared or feel a tingle up your spine. That is unless you get scared by hearing one lady participant thought she smelled lavender one night which must have come from a transvestite working boy/ girl over 100 years ago. Perhaps my favourite though was hearing about the window in the abandoned hotel that keeps opening despite, parks Victoria, yes, Parks Victoria inspecting a privately owned building regularly inspecting it. Weird or downright bull dust? Then it’s off to an old storage facility near the water where goods were stored. Well until she said the tide used to come in. Maybe then it wasn’t a storage facility after all. Regardless one lady, a cynic got her arm pulled through the bars and broke her nose. To this the host offered. Maybe she was acting. And then in to the morgue where the host left us to find our own way back through the dark morgue building. Did I say she didn’t have a lantern on the lantern tour. Anyway by then we had paid her money and our host was spruiking up other physic adventures for the punters.
