The Ghost Tour To Die For

Entitled Fright at the Museum, LUDS guaranteed a bumpy ride on Halloween night.

For just £3 you could enter into the dark gloomy realm of the LUDS Ghost Tour, where there stood before you a room of mannequins.These mannequins were actors of course, but this awareness only made it scarier.

Eerie mannequins prior to the show starting

Frances Greenfield, an actress who played the part of one of the mannequins remarked that the tour was “genuinely scary….but also fun.”

Everyone was holding their breath in anticipation, just knowing that these mannequins were going to come to life but aggravatingly not knowing when.

If I weren’t so scared myself, I would have described the effect on the audience when they did jump out at people and scare the ‘tour guide’ and ‘mannequin creator’ as one word….hilarious.

But it was terrifying: the anticipation, not knowing what was coming next and the general dark, gloomy atmosphere really got the blood pumping.

The not quite finished mannequins

After being chased out of the room by living dolls – as if this weren’t enough – the audience only encountered more in the next room and as a consequence were forced to walk around the apparently unmoving mannequin-cum-actors one by one.

This meant that people could no longer cling onto friends and loved ones. The effect was scary. Really scary.

The Tour overall was surprisingly frightening, even more so that most of the audience probably anticipated….it definitely made Halloween a terrifying experience.

We’ll be keeping the light on for a few more days
