#Halloween 2013: Ghosts of the… Old South
We loved this piece in The Washington Post. And if we weren’t leading our own Ghost Walks this Halloween, then this is where we’d like to be…
“I think we are the gothic part of the country. We have a lot of skeletons in our closets, here in the South,” said Diane Roberts, a professor of literature at Florida State University and author of books on Southern literature and culture.
“Ghosts can be a metaphor and the South has history of grinding poverty, slavery, war and genocide of native people,” she said “We are collectively very guilty and haunted by our past in this region.”
It’s a great article and you can read it all in The Washington Post HERE. 
ALL FOUR London Walks Ghost Walks go out on Halloween Thursday 31st October. For the full schedule visit our dedicated Ghosts Website or see www.walks.com
A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
