Nottingham Guide Says City's Caves Hold Chilling Secrets

NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND — A guide who leads visitors through the darker chapters of Nottingham's past has shared some of his trade's secrets with a publication devoted to the haunted places of the British Isles.

According to a brief summary published by Spooky Isles, Simon Unsworth of The Original Nottingham Ghost Walk says the city's haunted caves and hidden history hold plenty of chilling secrets. The summary is the only portion of the interview available for this report.

The particulars of those secrets, including which caves are said to be haunted, what is alleged to have been seen or heard in them, and what history lies behind the stories, are not set out in the material provided. This newspaper therefore declines to guess at them.

What can be said is that the walk's operator is, by his own account, well acquainted with the subject, and that the city's caves, long a feature of Nottingham's character, are credited by him with a share of its more unsettling lore. Readers wishing to learn the full particulars are directed to the original interview at Spooky Isles.

No claim of a haunting has been verified, and none is endorsed here. The walk, for its part, continues to be offered to those with a taste for the subject and sturdy footwear.
