Ghost Tours of Chepstow

Louise and Andy began the Ghost Tours of Chpstow in April 2007. The idea to do something of this nature, in an area so steeped in history at a time when ' Ghost Hunting' is more popular than ever, came quite naturally.

Turn on the TV any evening and you will find many shows dedicated to the paranormal and the unexplained ('Unexplained like Andi's hair cut! Hee hee' - Louise).

It is a fascinating subject, described by one TV personality as the last great thrill-seeking adventure.
 
Chepstow's written history goes back almost a thousand years and it's occupational evidence can be traced back to Iron and Bronze age times, possibly much earlier.

That amount of history provides an enormous amount of spiritual and sentient activity for us to delve into.
We have a never-ending supply of ghost stories, tales of murder, pirates, smuggling and intrigue with which to use as material on our tours.

It is very unusual for us to find a hotel, pub, shop or town residence in Chepstow that doesn't seem to have some supernatural tale to tell and with new stories emerging all the time, the tours are constantly evolving and improving. This encourages people interested and on our contacts list, to come back on our tours time and time again.
 
We now give people on the tours a chance to try out various paranormal investigation for themselves and this is proving to be very popular, especially with people who have seen programmes such as 'Most Haunted' and have wanted to try investigation.
 
We have made sure the tours are suitable for all as well as educational, fun and entertaining for local and international guests, young and old alike. We feel that as well as our supernatural content, it is also very important to relate the actual history of the town and it's surrounding areas and to cover it's attractions, tourist information and the promotion of Chepstow's businesses.
 
Since our beginnings, we have also progressed to providing special events, overnight vigils, theme nights, pirate walks, charity events, paranormal investigation of property and educational talks all over the country.
 
We are supported by and support, Adventa Tourism, S4C Television, BBC Television and Radio, The Welsh Tourist Board, Red Dragon FM, Bridge FM, GWR FM, Chepstow Tourist Information Centre, Chepstow Museum, The TWO RIVERS & MARI LLOYD events, Caldicot Castle, Usk Town Council, Chepstow Town Council and last but not least TV Phsychic Gavin Cromwell to name but a few.
 
We are the only official and genuine Ghost Tour in Chepstow.
 
See you on the tours soon,
 
Andi & Louise.
