Winter Ghost Tours at Hoghton Tower

Ascend the long drive of reputedly the third most haunted house in Britain.

Silent torchbearers take you on the ghost tour through the darkened halls of the Tower, where you may encounter spectres from the past and you will be told about the ghostly happenings from across the centuries.  Venture, if you dare, through the underground passages, where footsteps from another time may echo alongside your own. 

Do you see the black dog who haunts the Well House?  Greet Angry Peter, stare into the painting where mysterious faces may reveal themselves, before finally grasping the opportunity to reflect on what you have seen and heard.
