Join The Victorian Ghost Hunter, Haunted Blackpool author and founder of Supernatural Events, Stephen Mercer, on a Blackpool Ghost Walk.

He will guide guests from the Promenade through the town’s streets where he will stop at some of Blackpool’s most important – and most haunted – buildings, attractions and outside spaces to hear tales of terror, stories of the supernatural, horrifying hauntings, myth, mystery, the macabre and even murder.

The 2022 Blackpool Ghost Walks will feature three different tours – Thursday Thrills, Friday Frights and Saturday Scares – along with some new stories and a few ‘old favourites’.

And as the finale to the outside walking tours, everyone attending is invited to join their ghost host for the ‘Victorian Séance’ experience in a room on an upper floor in the former Stanley Arms Hotel, which is now The Brew Room on Church Street.

Stephen said: “I am so pleased to be returning this year with three different Blackpool Ghost Walks – Thursday Thrills, Friday Frights and Saturday Scares.

"Each of the tours has a separate route so those who join The Victorian Ghost Hunter on them will get to hear even more stories and tales at different locations throughout the town and along the Promenade.

"One of the most popular additions to the tours has been the ‘Victorian Séance’ experience when those who join the ghost host on the spooky strolls are invited to join him in an upper floor in The Brew Room, to try and communicate with the spirit world; just like they did in Victorian times.

"It’s going to be fun and, yes, quite a bit spooky. We are ready for a few screams from our guests this year again!”

Robert Wynne, owner of The Brew Room, said: “Since reopening this old Victorian Pub we have all noticed spirits of all kind in the building.

"It is fantastic that Supernatural Events is including the building in the tours again, not just tales told outside but actually coming inside; the upper floors are particularly well preserved and particularly spooky!”
