He who is scared, shouldn't go into the woods (Eastern European expression), or to St. Fagans? Halloween has been and gone, for almost a month now. Even the Mexican celebration of death can only be seen in the new James Bond film (if you have not seen it yet, go!). Although, who can say that we can't be scared during the other months like November for example? Nobody! And hand on your heart, we like being scared a bit. So St. Fagan's Museum has a great tour for those who love ghost stories. You can wander around this famous museum and hear all the stories about ghostly encounters, love stories with very bad endings or superstitions about death and mourning. A piece of advice from me, do not go on your own. I made this mistake on a trip to London when I went on the "Jack the Ripper Tour" on my own. Never again!
Have a lovely week!
