GHOST WALKS<br />
EXPLORE SIMON’S TOWN, THE MOST<br />
HAUNTED VILLAGE IN SOUTH AFRICA<br />
Fancy something different on a cold<br />
winter evening? Explore Simon’s Town,<br />
the most haunted village in South Africa<br />
with the unique Ghost Walks.<br />
The Ghost Walks were started in<br />
Simon’s Town in October 2015 and to<br />
date, have had around 700 guests take<br />
part in these unique walks.<br />
Simon’s Town is the third oldest village<br />
in South Africa, and by far, the most haunted. What better way<br />
to explore this famous town, from a different angle, by going<br />
on a unique and one-of-a-kind Ghost Walk! The Ghost Walks<br />
start at six on Fridays and Saturdays from Jubilee Square. You<br />
will walk the historic mile with your guide, while they tell you<br />
about some events key to the shaping of South Africa. They<br />
point out and explain various haunts, both current and historic,<br />
throughout the village, ending with a meander through the<br />
Old Burial Grounds at the end, where they will point out and<br />
explain some historical burial sites of interest.<br />
They cover hauntings such as haunted hotels, pubs, hospitals,<br />
schools, an old rectory, places of worship and old navy<br />
buildings. Baby killers, mass murderers, concentration camp<br />
deaths, mysterious ladies and appearances around the village<br />
and strange phenomena are discussed!<br />
This well researched Ghost meander lasts about two hours and<br />
the cost is R70pp and R50 for kids. A “meal included” option is<br />
also available at R150pp and R100pp for kids.<br />
Look out for the winter holiday programme with various<br />
kids activities, for example, a Daytime Historic Ghost Walk, a<br />
Historic “Just Nuisance” treasure hunt through the village with<br />
some great prizes, some beach activities, a visit to the famous<br />
penguins and a lot more. The cost is R100 per child and includes<br />
snacks. There is also a Historic Cannon Tour in the pipeline from<br />
R150 pp and guests will get to visit various cannon sites around<br />
Simon’s Town and also visit the gravesite of Just Nuisance on<br />
the mountain. For R950pp, you can book an overnight package<br />
at the Lord Nelson Inn which includes a Ghost Walk, supper and<br />
breakfast and a trip to the Labyrinth in Glencairn, or a Cannon<br />
Tour.<br />
Bookings essential. For more information contact Andre on 076<br />
