This Place is Coming Like a Ghost Tour (sang in the voice of Terry Hall)

We had a bloody great night last night. The pub had organised one of those haunted house tours. A fiver each and that included a can of bitter, a warm sausage roll AND the coach journey to and from the pub so me, Dawn and our Mam all went.

Apparently Vincent House was the home of some smugglers who smuggled tea and brandy until they were caught and punished. Chubby John said they wander the corridors under the house crying 'get us a brewwwwww'. Which is actually a bit shit when you think about it really. I think if I was a ghost I'd shout something a bit scarier like 'your pubes are showing', 'the council are going to evict you for non payment of rent' or ' Your real Mother is Noel Edmonds'. 

Anyway, we got to there about half ten, it was quite late  but Flora the tour guide said that ghosts prefer to come out between 11pm and 4am. Which is fair enough, really as that's the time I get going properly especially if I've been drinking since 7, so me and the ghosts already had something in common. After we had a tour round the house we split into two groups and our group went into the basement and waited for some ghostly action. It was pretty exciting! At one point Dawn screamed and got really scared because the back of her skirt lifted up but it just turned out to be just Bald Pete. Then Flora got really jumpy and said the clapping noise and foul smell was 'indicative of paranormal activity' but it was just the kebab I had for my dinner repeating on me. Luckily we were in total darkness, so no one could see me having to change me knickers.

 Matt got hit on the head by something small and sticky which Flora said was ectoplasm it looked just like the piece of gum I'd just gobbed out when I laughed out loud at one of Trevor's jokes, luckily Flora spotted it first otherwise I would have grabbed it off his head and put it back in my mouth, especially as it actually smelt nice and minty. It was such good fun that we were really sad that it ended earlier than expected. Mam's group came down into the dark basement to join us and they'd only been there ten seconds when Flora screamed something about seeing a face glowing in the dark and then fainted. Turned out Mam got my glow in the dark massage oil mixed up with her Oil of Olay. Funnily enough, I think someone else in the group had the exact same thing happen to them too, as I could see two glowing faces, I never found out who it was as everyone else denied it, but Barry the landlord did have a glowing hand print on his crotch.
