Every week will be new stories fans of SGTB.
Ghost stories number 1, series 1:

What would you do if you heard footsteps in a locked museum, followed them into the library, and found an old man desperately searching for a book that may no longer exist?
Over the years, several people have claimed to see the ghostly figure of an elderly man wearing a distinctive frock coat inside the library at the Yorkshire Museum. Now, witnesses say he appears distressed, frantically hunting for a lost book, and does not seem pleased when anyone interrupts him.
The first reported sighting came in 1953, when the museum’s caretaker arrived early for his shift on a cold September morning. He knew the building should have been completely empty, but then he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the library and went to investigate.
When he stepped into the room, he saw a figure dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The man was muttering repeatedly to himself: “I must find it, I must find it.”
The caretaker cleared his throat to make himself known and told the stranger that the museum was closed and he should not be inside. But the moment he spoke, the figure vanished completely. The caretaker searched the entire building afterwards, but found no sign of him.
And he was not the only person to report seeing the mysterious figure. Mildred, one of the museum cleaners, also claimed to have seen a man in old-fashioned clothing. She was cleaning the floors when he walked past her and went straight through the locked doors into the library.
The sightings worried the staff so much that a small team was formed to investigate what was happening. They spent time inside the library, hoping the figure might appear again. Although the man himself did not show, they reportedly watched a book fly across the room.
Today, the old library is used as the museum gift shop. So, if you ever visit and notice an elderly man searching urgently for a book, it may be best not to disturb him…📜 👻

(NB: Although, after 70 years of searching, someone really should tell him to check Amazon.. 😂😜

Hey friends of SGTB! You maybe very suprised but the Vikings were in Bath.
Yessss, indeed the vikings actually DID get much further south in England than most people are aware of, hence the archeological evidence of the sword.
I too was really suprised about that fact. One of the most tangible links to this era is a rare 10th-century Scandinavian-style sword. It was discovered in 1981 in a ditch outside the Saxon walls on Upper Borough Walls. Crazy huh? Crafted from
crucible steel with a silver-thread handle, this high-status weapon suggests either a lost skirmish or a forgotten heirloom!

Be sure to book our tour to hear our eery, haunting story of the viking who held that very sword.👀

For those more interested in history, here are more details taken directly from this website: bythebyreholidays.com/history-of-bath/

"In 878 AD, the Vikings, led by a warlord named Guthrum, captured the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex and established a Viking kingdom in the east of England. The Viking kingdom was eventually defeated by the Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great, who forced Guthrum to convert to Christianity. Alfred also gave him lands in the east of England so Guthrum became King of East Anglia.

It is believed that the Vikings would have visited Bath and made camp there during this period and that they may have used the hot springs for their own bathing and healing, just as the Romans and Anglo-Saxons had done before them. Sadly archaeological excavations have uncovered little evidence of Viking activity in Bath, most efforts have concentrated on finding Roman artifacts instead.

Later in 1013 another Danish Viking king settled his army in the town and received tribute in the form of hostages and gifts from other local nobles. "

What smell friends, instantly tends to take you back in time? 👻

Freshly cut grass…
Rain on warm pavement…
Grandma’s baking…
Bonfires…
Bubblegum…
Suncream on summer holidays…

Well, you know scientists say smell is the sense most strongly linked to memory and emotion. One scent can unlock a forgotten moment from 20 years ago in seconds… which is exactly why we use scent on our ghost tours.

Because a ghost story you can SMELL…
is much harder to forget.

What nostalgic smell takes YOU straight back to childhood? 👇

A fun ghostly walk around Bath's historical centre with guests. 👻Question is, how many survived guides Dr Morgan Scream-man and Jaquelin Hyde!?🤔

Ever had a smell throw you back into a memory you were absolutely not ready for? 😱

That is one reason we use scent on our ghost tour.

Smell is closely linked to parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory — including the amygdala — which is why certain scents can feel so vivid, powerful, and unforgettable.

So no, we do not use scent just for fun.
We use it to make our stories feel more real.

Because hearing about something spooky is one thing…
but smelling your way into the atmosphere?
That pulls you in properly. 👻

What smell brings back a memory instantly for you?

Part 2:
Hey guys ever wondered whether nature can be just as unsettling as a ghost story? 👀🌺

No? So meet a rare flower... yep, the co**se flower, famous for smelling like rotting flesh when it blooms. Lovely hey? :D
Oh yeah and guys the foul smell is not a design flaw. It's actually its whole strategy.

The plant uses that powerful odour to attract insects that normally visit dead animals, helping it get pollinated. In other words, it smells horrific on purpose.
The best-known “co**se flower,” the titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum),
is native to the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, and is known for its huge size, rare blooming, and extremely short flowering window.
In fact people in Sydney, Australia lined up for a chance to view one aptly called "Putricia." 😋💀

We love this kind of thing at SGTB because it proves something important:
Sometimes scent is not just background detail. Sometimes it is a big part of the entire experience.

Part 1:
Hey friends, you know when a smell instantly throws you back into a memory you were not remotely prepared for? 😱 🧠
Well, honestl, it's one reason we use scent on our tour. I perrsonally studied neuroscience so know about it for a long time.

Smell connects unusually closely to the parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory - including the amygdala - which is why a scent can make something feel weirdly vivid, intense, and unforgettable.

So we do not use scents just for the fun of it.
We use them to make our ghost stories feel more real.

Because hearing about something spooky is one thing.
Smelling your way into the atmosphere like your brain has joined the cast? Much better.

Basically, it is science.
Slightly suspicious science.
But science. 😂

Have you ever wondered why paranormal investigators use EMF meters? 👻📟

EMF stands for electromagnetic field and these little gadgets are designed to detect changes in the surrounding environment. In ghost hunting,
some people believe unusual spikes can signal that something otherworldly may be nearby… or it could just be old wiring being dramatic. 😅⚡

At Scented Ghost Tours Bath, we’ve got new EMF meters for guests to try during the experience, so you can feel even more involved in the strange
goings-on as we explore Bath’s darker side. It’s all part of making the tour more interactive, more atmospheric, and a lot more fun.

Because let’s be honest… if a little device suddenly lights up in the middle of a ghost story, it definitely adds to the suspense. 👀

Fancy putting it to the test for yourself?
