Shanty Baba's Lantern Ghost Storywalk...the darker side of St Ives. A night that will haunt you for a long time to come!
Ahoy, fellow ghost enthusiasts and fearless sailors of the supernatural seas! If you're in the mood for some spirited adventure and phantom fun, look no further than the "Shanty Baba" Ghost Tour in St. Ives. Prepare to embark on a spectral journey filled with eerie tales, spine-tingling excitement, and maybe, just maybe, a hint of the afterlife! Upon arriving at the meeting point, we were greeted by Captain Shanty Baba, a ghostly pirate guide with a flair for storytelling that could raise the dead! He took us through the cobblestone streets, once home to notorious pirates and mischievous spectres. Now, while we did hope for a few more firsthand accounts of actual ghosts, I can't deny that the tales of haunted taverns, spooky lighthouses, and a few too many accounts of dead children to be entirely appropriate or normal did set the perfect eerie atmosphere. Just when we began to wonder if we'd encounter any actual phantoms, the unexpected happened - the tour took an electrifying turn! A real ghost (yes, you read that right) made a cameo appearance, and luckily, I managed to get a photo. It happened in the middle of the graveyard portion of the tour - right on cue. Captain Salty Bones handled the ghostly encounter like a seasoned sailor, and I must commend him for keeping his cool amidst the supernatural shenanigans. In conclusion, the "Shanty Baba" Ghost Tour is an entertaining and spooky adventure worth experiencing. With Captain Salty Bones at the helm and a genuine ghostly surprise, it's a hauntingly hilarious way to spend an evening in St. Ives. Whether you're a sceptic or a die-hard believer, this tour will surely leave you with a tale to tell - and maybe even a spectral dance partner! So, hoist your ghost detector high and set sail with Shanty Baba - where real ghosts party!
Excellent wee night. Exploring areas of St Ives we wouldn't have probably missed and stories that were really entertaining. Story telling was great, Shanty was brilliant.
Cannot recommend enough. Shanty is a consummate storyteller. The stories are just the right amount of chilling & scary but Shanty's faultless delivery elevates it to street theatre. Compelling & brilliant. Do not miss it when in St Ives.
Amazing day out, Shanty has some fascinating tales to tell that kept me and the family captivated. If you are down in St Ives I would say this is a must do for the family. Thanks again for a wonderful afternoon
We booked this experience for our 12 year old son as a surprise. As a family we were very impressed and surprised by the fascinating stories told by Shanty. He was very engaging and we were hooked by his story tell ing. We would thoroughly recommend it and we enjoyed every minute of the walk experience. Shanty thank you for sharing your meditation method with us and look forward to trying it. On our next visit we hope to join you on your other experiences:
Myself, My daughter and partner had a great time listening to the stories and taking in the scenery. What a relaxing experience and shanty was enthusiastic, interesting and has a great way of story telling. Thank you so much
