Storyline

London has so many stories buried in history. Statues, paintings, characters trapped between words, all speechless—their stories long since lost to time. But you are a passionate historian, so the stories you uncover all come to life inside your head. Literally.

You can sense their spirits now, guiding you on a journey to find The Quill—their salvation. These spirits are the quiet ones, never before seen nor heard by anyone still living, or indeed anyone at all. Their lips were sealed forever, but you must be their voice. 

While you’re out and about on our best London ghost tour, you’ll be sure to get swept up in this gripping story brought to life by our top-notch writers!
