The ghost tour was so much fun! The guide was amazing and had so many fun ghostly stories. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with Liah, it'll give you a whole new, fun and scary perspective of Scarborough!

Best ghost tour to date. Absolutely brilliant. We hadn't booked in advance but she was absolutely cool about it and let us pay with cash. The tales of Scarboroughs darker side really brought to life and she's so
informative and friendly. Definitely a must for everyone
