Murderers & Vagabonds - Alnwick 'Inner Sanctum'
This walk meanders gently through the inner sanctum of Alnwick. When we say meanders, we really mean twists, turns and throws up a few unusual alleys. The dreadful sight of a screaming woman is heard, you're also touched by a blind ghost. The most recent sightings involve childish ghosts with some very blood curdling sounds in the building. Each road brings a new surprise and a new revelation about the workings of a closely knit community willing to do anything to hide its own murderers and vagabonds!
Alnwick as a modern town has not lost the past ghetto's, where in older times many gangs toured the streets looking for favours brandishing thier own laws.
Imagine the feeling of coldness. Add a wierd sensation and you have a poltergeist!// check the history of witches and murderers of the past
The Inner Sanctum soon had a law of it's own as Alnwick's streets were once soiled and dirty, also laden with many a thief and the odd murderer. Public houses could be found on every corner, these became dens of crime and sordid events. This walk will take you through the tougher times of death which became so common it was not unusual to be stepping over bodies in the streets.
The towns folk became victims of the many plagues, killing 1 in 3 in such tight quarters that the disease spread faster than lightening. In one area you'll quite literally be walking knee deep in graves, meet a murderer head on and meet the screaming lady of the night.
