Join local guide Phil Lister as he takes you on a tour of Haworth's dark and ghostly side: meet the ghost of Room 7 at the Old White Lion, the Grey Lady of Weavers Restaurant, and Ponden Hall's harbinger of doom, Old Greybeard. Tour the famous graveyard, in use for over 700 years ago and believed to house over 40,000 souls! Rediscover the Haworth of the Brontes, the blackened-stone buildings, washed by Pennine rain, the ginnels and alleyways of a forgotten time, overcrowded candlelit cottages, woolcombers, weavers, clogs, poverty and pride - and don't miss the Graveyard Cookbook, a veritable feast of ghoulish delights! Once they walked among us, laughing, whispering, keeping watch. We knew them. We spoke to them. We took them by the hand. We loved them. They were our friends, our families, our heroes. Now they may wait for us on quiet evenings, along their shaded avenues. Dare you walk among the temples, towers and stone blocks which are their witness in this time!
