Lincoln Ghost Walk Guide Says Some Stories Still Unsettle Him
Dan Pounds, who leads tours through the city's haunted streets, discusses castle legends and uneasy moments at Greestone Steps, according to Spooky Isles.
LINCOLN, ENGLAND — A guide who leads visitors through the darker history of Lincoln has told the website Spooky Isles that certain tales on his route continue to trouble him, even after repeated telling.
According to the site's summary, the guide, Dan Pounds, shares ghost stories connected with Lincoln Castle and describes unsettling moments at Greestone Steps, one of the stops on the city's ghost walk.
The piece also notes that visitors themselves bring encounters to the tour, suggesting that the walk is as much an exchange of stories as a recital of them. The summary does not specify what these encounters were, and this newspaper has not been able to review the full interview.
No explanation, mundane or otherwise, is offered in the material available. The reader is left to decide whether the unease lies in the stones, the steps, or the long habit of telling stories after dark in an old cathedral city.
