“High Spirits = & Lot's of Fun” - Argus=

Inspired by the London Ghost Bus an= d Jack The Ripper tours in 1988, Mark Rose-Christie combined these conce= pts to launch The Mystery Ghost Bus Tours to South African audiences at = the National Arts Festival (Grahamstown ) in 2001. Since then the tours = have opened in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria & Port Elizabeth, w= ith Durban and the Midlands Meander (Kwa-Zulu Natal) to open soon. Altho= ugh we use tour coaches, this is actually a ‘theatre-on-wheels&rsq= uo; production, catering for both the Public and Groups (corporate event= s, team building, end-of-year functions, birthday parties & tour gro= ups).

<= span style=3D"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">The Media and our C= lients alike, have said that at “About half the price of the u= sual sight-seeing tours, and twice as long, The Mystery Ghost Bus Tour o= ffers more than any other ghost tour worldwide”, which is as = follows:

Sta= rting Pub to get you into the Spirit !
= Introduction about the History & Science of= the Paranormal
Explana= tions of the many different types of ghosts
= 3 Dramatised Stories with Haunted Music & E= erie Sound Effects, played on the coach
= Ride past many haunted, murder & mystery si= tes, with Four (4) Off-The-Bus stops as follows:
2 Pub & Grub Stops along the route, wit= h entry into a dark mystery room at one of the pubs
Off-The-Bus stop to detect energy f= ields using dowsing rods (audience participation)
Special Permission/Free Entry to an hi= storical cemetery at midnight, with an ending that jolts even sceptics
Instead of taking a Pub= lic Tour, get 30 people together to take a group tour and have the entir= e coach to YOURSELVES - for the SAME price per person.

PUBLIC vs. GROUP TOURS
