Follow a quest to solve creepy clues, listen to spooky stories, and join the resident Victorian ghost hunters for a family-friendly adventure. They'll share interactive, spine-tingling tales and reveal 19th-century ghost-hunting techniques, even exploring how Victorians tried to speak with spirits.
