I am going in for a full-knee replacement on Wednesday 22nd May 2024. I will be in hospital until Friday and as a result no ghost tours will be bookable until I'm allowed or able to walk properly again! If booking via the website thecanterburytours.com only pre-allocated tours are available!
I do hope that you'll book with confidence that I will be back on duty as soon as I'm able!
If you already have a paid booking, it will be covered by my colleague Lee in my place!

I am just putting the finishing touches to my third book, "Haunted Canterbury Revisited", I am working in collaboration with Kirsten Mears of Norfolk, this is my second Ghost Story Book of Canterbury and its Haunted Past, I want to include as many stories as possible from local people, so my question is, do you have a story worthy of being included in the book, I have been researching for 30 years, but many people who have seen or felt a ghost are reluctant to share their stories, I respect that and I am happy to change your name or hide its location or if you are happy I will credit you with our contribution.

So get your thinking caps on and write me a ghost story preferably about a property you live in or visit, in or around Canterbury, and when I publish and it's included, I will send you an advanced copy as a thank you.

If you have yet to join my 'Ghost Tour of Canterbury' please consider booking via thecanterburytours.com and seeing what we have to offer, or join one of my daytime 'Hidden City Tours' from the Buttermarket, and discover many places you might well have overlooked whilst living in the city.

See here for links to my previous books. And thank you for your continued support.
