Daniel Griffin, age 16

On a trip to London a few weeks ago, it was raining one evening when my dad spotted a leaflet
advertising a ghost bus tour of the city. We had been walking all day and it sounded like a fun
and relaxing way to go sightseeing, so we decided to go on the tour. Well, we didn’t regret our
decision. From the moment we stepped onto the ‘fright bus’, we had such a great time! It was a
converted London double-decker bus, which was painted black instead of red. Inside, it looked
like an old railway carriage with comfortable seats, lamps and curtains. A creepy conductor
welcomed us on board.
The tour wasn’t at all what we had expected. From beginning to end, it was more like a theatre
performance than a bus tour. I felt a bit nervous at first but I was soon giggling along with
everyone else after the conductor’s instruction. He told us: “Expect to hear stories about
murders, deaths, ghosts and ghouls but… most terrifying are the comedy moments!” Along the
route, he told us the story of haunted London landmarks such as theatres, underground stations
and tourist attractions including Tower Bridge. Some of the stories sent a shiver down my spine,
like the one about the demon barber (a men’s hairdresser) of Fleet Street. Mostly though, it was
just funny because the conductor was a great actor and added his own amusing twists to the
stories! There was even CCTV showing rats running around the passengers’ feet and spooky
music to go with the scary tales.
This was a very funny and original way to see London – my dad and I are still laughing about it!
This tour is suitable for people of any age and I highly recommend it.
