If you’re bored to death of the usual ghost tours, how about a history tour with a difference? Discover the gruesome history of Nottingham with tales of the morbid and macabre. Wrap up warm and step out to explore the sinister side of the city…   

We met our ghostly host for the evening, the enigmatic Ezekial Bone, outside the Cross Keys pub on Byard lane, where the crowd assembled awaiting to acquaint themselves with the apparition who haunts the city, sharing his recollections of the grisly and gruesome happenings on the streets of old Nottingham town.

The engaging Ezekial is a real raconteur, spinning a thread of executions, disease and blood-curdling murder as we wander the streets of the historic Lace Market. He paints a vivid picture of the public hangings at the Old County Goal, dismembered bodies and cadavers on the streets of High Pavement, all delivered with his unmistakable, wicked sense of humour.

His theatrical performance is underlined by his extensive historical knowledge, and his tour was a fascinating insight not only into some horrible historic events but also into Nottingham’s life in days past. There were even a few unexpected but much appreciated lessons in etymology along the way.

With the tour nearing to its end and the atmosphere turning even more sinister, we headed towards The Angel pub where excitement reached its peak. Ezekial Bone invited us all down to the cave nested deeply under this historical pub, and you could feel excitement in the air as we slowly descended the steep stairs into the darkness of this atmospheric cave. We were all really looking forward to it and couldn’t wait to step into a place where the public has no access to in normal circumstance.

    Nottingham has such beautiful things that I didn't expect to see. This city is filled with beautiful people and outstanding writers who have contributed greatly to English literature. This article discusses the daily routine of people in Nottingham and how busy their lives seem. Now I would like to see an example of an essay about William blake at https://blablawriting.net/essay-examples/blake website according to my information he lived in this city for many years and wrote many essays during his stay.

    I needed to convince the sponsors that my project was worth their time. This was not an easy task, so I didn't want to risk it and turned to https://www.phdresearchproposal.org/ for help, where a team of highly qualified writers with experience and skills in various fields did an excellent job. The specialists were able to analyze and improve every aspect and ensure the high quality of the article. This significantly increased my chances and ultimately led to a complete victory, so I intend to work with this resource in the future.
