Halloween Special - Terror Tales Of Torry

Join for a spooky trail with an intrepid ghost hunter to raise the spirits from Torry's dark past!

The terrifying tales of Torry's history include:

The ghostly bride of Tullos, a lost soul or something far worse? Why was she left in a hollow tree stump on her wedding day?

The heart-broken captain of the Oscar, the whaling ship which was wrecked at Greyhope Bay in 1813 with the loss of 42 out of 44 crew. Will his spirit ever find peace?

The fisher wife of Victorian Torry who healed the child of a visiting gutter using a magical ritual at the old Corbie Well of Mansefield Road. What power did the well water have to cure the sick?

The intrepid patriots who planned to recover William Wallace's arm from the spikes of Aberdeen Justice Port in 1305. Did they bury this relic at St Fitticks?

The unsolved murder of Betty Hadden, who was brutally slain in 1945, and only her disembodied arm ever recovered. Did she fall foul of a soldier who lost his mind?

And finally - William Milne, tenant of Kincorth, defender of the Covenant in Burleigh's army on 16 Sept 1644, how did he lay down his life for the cause of religion?

This unique street theatre show will thrill and terrify audiences as they are guided around old Torry by our ghost hunter and doughty stewards. The event starts at Old Torry Community Centre, where customers can enjoy a hot drink before they embark on this Halloween special from Hidden Aberdeen Tours.

This event is designed for adults, and therefore unsuitable for children under 16. Dogs are not allowed. Flash photography is not permitted. Please ensure you wrap up warm! The tour will be approximately 2 hours long.
