Great Stories, and Spokey Setting

Guide Sandra was incredible. Even though I'm a s***y c**t she kept me close by. The team were given the rod and EVPs which ours went crazy. The stories were heart breaking, however some well deserved. And the end video I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the witness accounts and the J ward back in the day .. Thank You

Informative

I enjoyed the format of the tour but the caretaker would be more suited to the role of tour guide because he is much more personable.
