London is full of historical facts and people who lived in this wonderful city. With 1,000 years of history, there is a good chance that we can stumble upon stories of ghosts, pirates and legendary tales. In this one-time class, we will take a look at a few of these stories that have been past down through the years. Some are in fact rooted in true events, others began as one story and developed into mythical legends. You'll have to be the judge yourself to see if these stories are fact or fiction. This class is a virtual adaptation of my Ghosts & Pirates tour that I developed for a class of 12yr olds who were touring London. It will include some fun facts and interesting stories that are all connected to a London location.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a London tour guide, I deliver evening tours with haunted themes on a regular basis. Tourists from all over the world enjoy learning about the reported ghosts seen around the city, and there are many stories to hand down. Is it in their imagination? Did they really see something in the distance? We may never know.... but there is always a story behind it to entertain or clear up any missing facts. Reviews
