Great Spooky Walk with Jamie! - What an enjoyable outing. A two hour walk with a wonderful storyteller. Great history, ghost and murder stories woven together for a spooky fun experience. Would be difficult for anyone who has trouble walking upstairs stairs, uphill and/or standing for 1.5-2 hours. Would go again!
