Legend has it that when the Guildhall clock glows orange at Halloween, Sam Mackeyโ€™s ghost is never too far away... ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘ป

Passed down through generations, the story lingers in whispers, strange encounters and unexplained sightings around every corner. Thatโ€™s the magic of Derry Halloween, steeped in folklore, where old tales still live on in the cityโ€™s bones.

Listen to the story of Sam Mackey...if you dare! Have you had any spooky encounters at ? ๐Ÿ‘‡
