Behind the Scenes with The Ghost Walk

Sebastian Beltain (on the right)

Sebastian, a strange character is based on not one, but four people. The main character of a Victorian Gentleman dressed in black is a true depiction of a wealthy man that owned a large property in Ludlows town center.

Ludlows streets are so wide due to the town being built on a feudal system. Wealthy land owners as well as owning land around Ludlow, also own parts of the town. These parts were brought from the crown (The King) and the streets so wide to indicate the boundary's between the families.

Sebastians name came from a play on words. 'Sebastian' meaning the Greek name for a single bachelor of an irritable selfish nature. 'Beltain' to represent the witches festival of 'Beltane' where witches would gather to do there dark deeds...

Being Sebastian

"Sebastian Intrigues me. He is very dark in his business. To portray him you have to almost take on the Jack the Ripper character of London's east end. He goes about his daily life as a perfect gentleman, his appearance is very smart, with his white gloves (he doesn't like getting his hands dirty) and his black cane. His persona is one of a sinister nature. You could almost say Sebastian could cut your throat whilst telling you a humorous story, just so you would die with a smile. It would be certain though, that not a drop of blood would pass on to his clothes" Spoken by Stuart Liggins who Portrays Sebastian Beltain

Sebastian does hand out his calling card from time to time on the walk. But as the card says "I would be most displeased if you are out when I call a second time" Please do come on the walk to meet Sebastian and make his acquaintance....
