Halloween Ghost Tour

A few years ago we all went on a Halloween ghost tour of Fort Amherst, so when I saw signs for it again this year I decided to ring around and get a group of us together like old times.

Me Naomi, Paul, Lisa, Lou and Paul were the only ones that could make it, but it was cool... unfortunately we were traveling back from Oxford so we only just managed to get there on time.

For anyone that's never been on one of these I highly recommend going on one. With this particular tour you all start off by walking through a pitch black tunnel (The only way through is to walk with one hand against the wall). All the way through actors jump out and grab your ankles and arms and frighten the crap out of you... it's always great to have my sister along on these because she screams so loudly!

After we get through this we go on the tour proper, where we go through themed rooms, the first one I remember us going through was a mock up of a ritual sacrifice... the "priest" walked amongst the group of us and picked out Lou (Must've known she was a good screamer), and proceeded to place a (What we assume) was a cow liver in her hand. Then swapped her for an actress that was previously added to our group (It'd have been far more effective an illusion if we wasn't all friends), who he then sacrificed... she screamed almost as loudly as Lou :-)

We then walked down a corridor and one of the 2 extra guys that we didn't know was grabbed and stuffed into a coffin... to his mates amusement, apparently thy played a little girl laughing to him whilst he was trapped.

The next stage was a meal where everyone was presented severed hands to eat... Paul wanted some tomato sauce to go with his :-)

Naomi was not so impressed with the next theme tho, as it was a "Childsplay" theme, several Gothic dressed dead "girls" and some rather scary clowns then grabbed Lou and put her in a giant Jack in the box (All with a strobe going off)... I'm glad they didn't grab Naomi, as I'd probably have had to carry her out.
