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.

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.

Disappointed

Ok, so we weren't really expecting to see ghosts everywhere but this tour was a bit of a letdown. Not even remotely spooky. My wife scares very easily, she was so scared before we took the tour, thinking it might freak her out and asking me if it was ok to leave early if she got too scared... Well, that didn't end up happening, there just wasn't enough atmosphere to make it even remotely scary. Not even on the final stop of the tour at the old morgue where the tour guide was kind enough to show off her skills at using remotely activated torches and other random fake ghost detection devices. One star feels like one too many.
