Overview

St. James Cemetery is one of the most strangely beautiful and haunted locations in the world. We will guide you by lantern light through this remarkable, ancient site, taking you to all of the most interesting hotspots and story locations, bringing the incredible (and often terrifying) true local tales - of real vampires, witches, ghosts, shadow entities and even fairies- to life with our rich background in street performance and theatre acting.

We will take you on a true adventure. If you are even vaguely interested in the strange and supernatural, you simply cannot miss out on this tour!
