This ghost tour of old London is worth going on and would recommend. Don't get scared now. - Last year I went to the Haunted London Pub Walk by Lantern Ghost Tours. I was extremely impressed, this time I decided to give the Paranormal Activity Tour in Old London a go.
I was extremely impressed with Stephanie who was our tour guide and her knowledge of this subject, apparently she told the guests that she is empathic. I can relate to her because as I mentioned on my review of the Haunted London Pub Tour last year, I'm a paranormal enthusiast and have been studying this subject for many years.
I've been on another ghost walk of London many years ago. But this one is a lot better, because you also get a chance to use devices that a paranormal investigator would use. I used a K2 meter and there were times that I was picking up some activity along the way.
There was one location that we went to which was Cock Lane. (which to the paranormal community is a very famous haunting, another one is 50 Berkeley Square London) I was already aware of the story and when Stephanie related it to the other guests, she got it absolutely right. I also told the guests that this case is genuine, which took them by surprise.
Stephanie also issued a warning to the group to not use a ouija board just before the tour ended, she herself stopped using one ages ago. When she said that, I then told the guests, when it comes to using a ouija board "Don't tempt fate". I personally wouldn't touch those things with a ten foot barge pole and neither should they.
If you are considering going on a ghost tour and walk of London with any tour guide. I strongly recommend that you go with Lantern Ghost Tours and not the others, because I can tell from my own research of the paranormal that these tour guides really know their stuff and this is especially true with Stephanie.

Ghost walk - Very interesting collection of historical stories, the tour guide was very polite and friendly. However, as a suggestion the tour could do with abit more paranormal in terms of, more instrumentation to try and obtain more evidence, on the whole is was a pleasant experience.

Very fun and very interesting - Went with a group of friends on a first visit to London. The tour is a great mix of spooky ghost stories and historical facts. Despite my group being late the guide helped us to meet up with the tour a couple of stops later where she could have just as easily told us off.

Worth every penny - and more! - Our guide was Jen. The amount of knowledge she held and imparted was priceless. London’s history came alive through her words, and our experience was improved tenfold as a result. So very, very glad we booked this tour! (We also had some incredibly interesting experiences on the tour that blew our minds!!)

Would recommend the Paranormal Experience! - We did this on Friday 14 December and Stephanie was our guide. We loved how she explained the different stories with obvious historical interest and enthusiasm and was the perfect guide.
There were only 8 of us on the tour, which was an ideal number as everyone got to use the equipment if they wished to - black mirror, emf meters, divining rods and ouija board.
Lots of interesting stories and stops. I had a lovely 'conversation' with a 12th century prior about his lost sandal using the divining rods.
Tour was just over 2 hours and ended in a pub cellar with remains of Newgate Prison cells doing the ouija board. I didn't find it frightening - just very informative and fun. A great evening!

Surpising interesting - Our guide was very passionate and was a catchy storyteller. The tour had very interesting plots and sightseeing. With a grand finale in the end. Too bad the tour ended 25 minutes sooner than planned

Friday13th Paranormal London tour - My partner & I had an awesome time doing the Paranormal Activity tour!
Ghost tour, Friday the 13th, & we arrived in London to a thunder storm, perfect for a Paranormal tour!
Friday 13th we was taken on a 2hr ghost walking tour, our tour guide being Stephanie, who was great. She had a really nice way of delivering the tales as we walked round, getting us to interact with props she had brought along if we wanted to, some of the stories really, really moved us!
I'm a total believer (although I do try to debunk things 1st) My partner is a total sceptic, & on one stop I took a couple of pictures, not thinking about capturing anything, just for scenery & making memories... I think I caught something! I've attached the photos, my partner a non believer even thinks he can see something :)
Tips for anyone thinking of going on the trip:
* Wear comfortable walking shoes, the 2hrs are continuous walking, with a few stops here & there.
* Check the weather, the tour is outside, with one indoor stop at the end.
* If your travelling long distance i'd recommend staying in a hotel, my partner & I travelled up from Northants, it would'v finished off the evening perfectly if we'd stayed overnight somewhere & not have to drive back so late (10/10.30pm)
* If you are driving down, we found a multistorey car park just a short walk from the meet up point at Farringdon Tube Station.
* Bring a camera, plenty of photos to take!
Overall a fab evening, something different, learned some new things about the darker side of London. We will definitely be doing more tours!
A fab spooky evening! 👍

We Encountered A Ghost - The Tour Guide - The only ghost on our tour was the guide - they never showed up. We waited for 30 minutes without receiving any communication, paranormal or otherwise, about what was going.
The amount of money wasted on this tour was terrifying, so I suppose it did deliver on the promises of both ghosts and terror. It just didn't do so in the way I was expecting. Perhaps it's some kind of high concept performance art?
