Simon’s spooky tour of town certain to
draw tourists by Tim Procter
A TELEVISION programme is due to feature Ribble Valley ghost expert and uncannily skilful sound imitator Simon

the castle and town centre has been enjoyed by many local people as well as tourists from
Entwistle. His regular Wednesday night “ghost tour” of
all over the world. Last night a BBC crew was due to follow his tour
and this week Mr Entwistle was busy trying to make sure there was a good crowd for his blood-chilling
evening trip. It’s all good publicity for the local tourist trade and

readily responded to an appeal in this newspaper for information about the area. Mr Entwistle even received a piece of a bomb dropped on Chatbum in 1940! So the ghost route, the stories and the sound effects

later times*Mr Entwistle’s skill at imitating trains once led to a contract with British Rail, and it certainly made our office windows rattle this week. There are few sounds of any period in history he cannot realisti

Ages for the television cameras and was hoping for a good turn out of people to thrill, shock and entertain.
