The sandman a character in many children's stories. He is said to sprinkle sand or dust on or into the eyes of the child at night to bring on dreams and sleep. The grit or "sleep" in one's eyes upon waking is supposed to be the result of the Sandman's work the previous evening. Now called the 'Bogey' man.
Alnwick’s ghostly history is steeped in chilling tales and eerie happenings. The Grey Lady of Alnwick Castle is said to wander its halls, while phantom footsteps echo through the ancient corridors. The Market Square, once a site of public executions, harbors shadowy figures and faint cries. Legends of the Alnwick Vampire tell of a bloodthirsty lord terrorizing villagers until his body was destroyed. At the Bondgate Tower, a ghostly soldier lurks in the shadows. Haunted inns like the White Swan Hotel report objects moving by unseen hands. From spectral monks at Hulne Abbey to chilling whispers, Alnwick’s past is undeniably haunting.
These walks are aimed directly at children; they often hold their nerve whilst adults lose theirs.
The walks take you on a journey of Alnwicks streets and allowing all to be involved at every corner, even a few games thrown in as they walk. How brave a child is depends on how they are approached! Come along as an adult for free and see how they react and maybe you'll learn a few things as you go!
