GHOSTLY WELLS
Haunted pubs, ghosts from the plague. And a chilling graveyard. Who knows what you'll encounter on the Ghostly Wells walk?
A 60-minute tour through the weird events and ghostly happenings in Wells. Your host will be Wendela, the Wells Witch, who's seen five centuries of ghosts and the paranormal. She died in 1680, but will return to show you the places where the ghosts of Wells lurk. You'll hear about the dead lying in plague pits, who can be heard moaning about not being buried with due rites. Wendela (pronounced WEN duh luh) may tell you about apparitions seen in Wells Cathedral, and strange happenings at the Bishops Palace. For 1,300 years Wells has seen struggle and death, ghosts and ghouls. They're all around us, if you let yourself hear them.
