Unlock the Chilling Secrets of Old Portsmouth – If You Dare.
Step into the shadows of Portsmouth’s haunted past on this spine-tingling theatrical ghost tour. Journey through the eerie streets of Old Portsmouth and uncover terrifying tales that have lingered in the dark for centuries.
Your adventure begins inside the historic Spice Island Inn, where you’ll delve into the city’s ghostly history. Meet the spirit of Jack the Painter, executed for his attempt to sabotage the Dockyard, and encounter the infamous Nun, whose presence is said to chill even the bravest souls.
But that’s only the beginning…
Prepare to face the chilling rivalry between two of Portsmouth’s most notorious spectres: John Felton, the assassin of the powerful Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers. Discover the dark motives behind their hatred—a feud so intense it ended in cold-blooded murder at Buckingham House.
Wander deeper into the misty alleys, where the restless ghosts of smugglers still linger, forever searching for stolen goods. But what terrible fate sealed their doom?
