Ghost Tour 26th & 27th September 2014
Following the recent highly successful "ghost tour" of the Castle of Good Hope the Cape Town Highlanders Regimental Association have decided to invite the public to once again experience the eerie appearance of Governor van Noodt, hear the story of the mysterious Grey Lady (and perhaps even see her--- or perhaps think that you saw her).
Venture into the confines of the torture chamber and the Black Hole, haunts of many poor souls who had been left to perish there.
Join the guided tour exploring the many hidden nooks and crannies and find out why these spirits still haunt this ancient building.
Learn some of the history of one of South Africa's oldest regiments, The Cape Town Highlanders, in the Sergeant's Mess after the tour. Refreshments and hot dogs will be on sale.
The tours will take place on the evenings of Friday and Saturday (26 & 27 September 2014)
To ensure a place on the tour and for further details contact Cheryl Haylett (021 7154027 or 073 833 5615)
