10 Terrifying Historical Ghost Tours in England

For fans of the fearsome, the ghostly and the macabre: discover england’s dark side at these 10 ghost tours and experiences around the country..

Harry Sherrin

21 oct 2021.

From brutal medieval torture methods to the grim crimes of Jack the Ripper, England has seen centuries of violence, gore and death. And relics of the country’s dark past can still be witnessed to this day – in the form of sinister prisons, gruesome torture chambers, infamous crime scenes and ghostly castles and churches.   

At some sites around England, even the faces of the country’s past are said to still exist, with ghosts and spirits purported to visit from beyond the grave.   

Here are 10 ghost tours perfect for those brave enough to dive into the country’s dark past. Expect tales of restless ghouls, sinister crimes and all manner of paranormal phenomena.

1. Pluckley: England’s Most Haunted Village, Kent

The English village of Pluckley was crowned ‘the most haunted village in England’ by the Guinness Book of Records and is reputed to be home to some 20 spirits and ghosts. Some of its most famed supernatural citizens include a highwayman, a horse and carriage and the body of a schoolmaster known as the ‘Hanging Man’.

Visitors to Pluckley can embark on a ghost tour through the village. Those with nerves of steel might like to join one of Ghost Hunt Events’ overnight tours through the village’s ‘ screaming woods ’, during which they’ll attempt to converse with spirits from beyond the grave.

2. Chillingham Castle Ghost Tour, Northumberland

The aptly titled Chillingham Castle makes for a spooky site that’s well worth a visit. It dates back to the 13th century, and as such the stronghold has seen its fair share of scandal, violence and invasion.

Chillingham is considered one of the most haunted castles in England and is supposedly a hotspot for spotting ghostly guests and paranormal events. Brave visitors to the former fortress can embark on evening ghost tours through its many rooms and dungeons, even venturing into its medieval ‘Torture Chamber’.

3. Chester, Cheshire

Chester, in northwest England, is considered to be one of Britain’s most haunted cities. It was established by the Romans and later proved a key battleground between warring Saxon and Welsh kingdom, so the area is steeped in history. And visitors to the city can uncover the darker side of the city’s past on a ghost tour through its historic streets and structures.

The ghost tour of Chester is an immersive, guided stroll through the city’s supernatural sites and eerie alleyways. The city is said to be home to dozens of ghosts and paranormal phenomena, so a tour through its most haunted locations promises to be an unmissable, though indeed unsettling, experience.

4. Jack the Ripper’s East End, London

The infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper terrorised Victorian London in 1888. His gruesome murders were never solved, and his true identity still remains a mystery. Many of the streets and alleyways he once stalked, and the sites of his crimes, can still be visited in the city’s East End to this day.

For an immersive guided tour, the East End Tour Company offers regular evening outings through the alleyways, streets and sites of Ripper’s London. Guides use projectors to shine clues and images on street walls, encouraging walkers to retrace the scenes of Jack the Ripper’s crimes and delve deeper into the mystery of his identity.

5. Oxford Castle and Prison, Oxfordshire

Arguably Oxford’s most unsettling sight, Oxford Castle is a looming 900-year-old fortress with a sinister history. It was built in 1071 and was later converted into a prison after the English Civil War.

In the Halloween period, Oxford Castle and Prison hosts Ghost Fest, an annual celebration of the supernatural perfect for the whole family. Visitors can embark on a terrifying tour through the stronghold’s walls and even venture into the castle’s crypt for a potion-making session.

6. The Ghost Bus Tour, London

Part comedy, part supernatural storytelling, the London Ghost Bus Tour is the perfect way to discover the city’s sinister history. The tour is hosted on a vintage Routemaster bus from the 1960s by a team of gifted, and sincerely funny, storytellers who spin tales of violence, slaughter and the supernatural.

Those who take a ride on the London Ghost Bus can expect to visit some of London’s most popular landmarks, from Downing Street to the Houses of Parliament, and learn all about their darker sides.

7. Shrewsbury Prison, Shropshire

Shrewsbury Prison is said to be one of the most haunted jails in the world, so a tour through its walls is not for the faint-hearted. Now a museum, the 18th-century structure hosts ghostly walks through its walls and grounds, which are said to be home to all manner of ghosts and otherworldly residents.

The tour sets off from the gatehouse before descending into the depths of the former jail. Visitors will learn all about the structure’s reported ghosts and spirits and discover the prison’s sinister history, hearing tales of gruesome executions and killings that took place within its walls.

8. The York Dungeon, Yorkshire

The picturesque city of York in northern England is not without its horrors. Take the York Dungeon, for example, an eerie attraction that immerses visitors in stories of torture, plagues and violence. A tour through the dungeons lasts some 75 minutes, during which visitors will journey through eerie cells and passages, hearing all about the city’s terrifying 2,000-year-long history.

The Dungeon is the second attraction of its kind, linked to the original Dungeon attraction in London. Both sites’ exhibits are hosted by live actors, who reenact crucial moments in English history, from the Gunpowder Plot to the bloody story of the Viking invasion.

9. Durham Ghost Walk, County Durham

The city of Durham in northeast England is home to burial pits containing dozens – if not hundreds – of anonymous dead bodies. Given its grim history, the city has become a popular spot for ghost hunters and supernatural sightings.

Now, visitors to the city can embark on the Durham Ghost Walk, a unique and immersive ghost hunting experience. On the tour, guests can operate ghost hunting equipment as they search for spirits around the historic city, and they can even attempt to harness their own psychic abilities.

10. Bodmin Jail, Cornwall

Cornwall’s Bodmin Jail has a long and dark history. Built in the 18th century, it has seen dozens of executions carried out within its walls, primarily by hanging, and has housed some terrifying violent criminals. It fell into disrepair in the early 20th century, but has since been restored into an unsettling museum.

Visitors to Bodmin Jail can embark on a guided ghost tour around the prison, during which they’ll hear all about the site’s paranormal phenomena, fearsome former inmates and its life as a Victorian lockup. They’ll also hear about other scary sights in the area, such as the mysterious ‘Beast of Bodmin Moor’.

He managed and engaged with the crowd giving some great information. He was loud enough to be heard at the back of the group and didn’t allow the people who can distract the tour to do so, gently getting everyone involved. It didn’t feel rushed and he made you feel that you were the only one he was talking to. I was a little concerned when I booked because I read that they take tours of up to 40 people but ours had nearer 50 and it really wasn’t an issue. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that was thinking of gaining a little bit more knowledge about Jack the Ripper, especially if George is your guide. Read more Written November 10, 2023

• vganner 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Bringing History to Life What an amazing experience we had walking through the streets of Whitechapel as George brought every detail of the stories behind these murders to life. I attended with my daughter on a break to London and we both loved it. The way George weaved the facts into the theatre of the stories with a dramatic slice across his throat and many little asides, was really enjoyable. We met outside Aldgate Tube Station and I was worried that because so much of Whitechapel had been redeveloped it wouldn’t be enough, but George’s passion and knack for conjuring up images sorted that. His voice was clear and he projected well to our group of 30, even with City life as a backdrop. We’d been to the Jack the Ripper Museum on Cable Street in the afternoon which was a perfect starter before this tour. Highly recommended, many thanks George. Read more Written October 25, 2023

The tour begins outside of Tottenham Court Road Tube Station and lasts approximately 2 hours.

You will visit one of London's narrowest alleyways, a former plague pit, and leper hospital, and a tunnel so haunted that its guides are scared of walking down it.

Described as a comedy-horror show, the Ghost Bus Tours lead a 75-minute scary sightseeing tour around the city.

This is a comedy horror show that aims to make you laugh above anything else.

DARK SIDE OF LONDON

Dark Side of London Tours usually refrains from telling stories of the supernatural and instead, focuses on the city's darker history.

Murder Mile Tours and Insider London offer tours that are very similar in style and price, costing £15 per person.

However, their reviews are extremely positive with many guests raving about their experiences.

MURDER MILE TOURS

Murder Mile Tours offers just one tour: Soho's Infamous Murders Walking Tour.

The Death and Debauchery Tour offered by Insider London is another popular option for those looking to learn about London's darker history.

The tour begins near Oxford Street and takes you through Central London.

One of the great things about Insider London is that you never have to worry about the tour being canceled due to too few people signing up.

Their tours run regardless, so if you're the only person to book a spot, you will be able to enjoy a very intimate tour experience rather than having it canceled!

An Oyster or TravelCard is required as the tour uses the Underground.

Death and Debauchery Tour

• From £15 per person
• Every Friday at 5 pm

Insider London has really excellent reviews for all of their tours, but their Death and Debauchery Tour is especially well-rated, averaging a perfect 5 out of 5 stars on both TripAdvisor and Get Your Guide.

One visitor even described the tour as one of the best (if not THE best) they have ever been on.

You really can't do better than that! TripAdvisor Rating: 5 stars.

Cloak and Dagger Tour

This interactive tour covers some of the lesser-known stories of murder and revenge from throughout the history of London.

Some reviewers even note that this covers more of the untold history of Southwark, going off the beaten path from other such tours.

SPOOKY ATTRACTIONS

The London Bridge Experience & Tombs and The London Dungeon are two popular attractions that bring London's darkest history to life with intricate sets, enthusiastic actors, and lots of scare tactics.

Of the two, London Bridge Experience & Tombs is regarded as more terrifying.

However, both successfully frighten people of all ages. 

The London Dungeon is a fair bit more expensive, starting at $30 per person rather than the $20 per person for the London Bridge Experience & Tombs.

Yet, the former maintains a better rating on TripAdvisor and has several reviewers who comment on its excellent value.

LONDON BRIDGE EXPERIENCE & TOMBS

The London Bridge Experience and Tombs is a spooky attraction that uses professional actors and intricate sets to showcase London's gruesome history.

The London Bridge Experience lasts approximately 60 minutes and spans 2,000 years of history.

After braving the horrors of the Experience, you are then led to the Tombs where you are meant to face your worst fears including evil clowns and nesting spiders.

This attraction has won the UK's Scariest Attraction for 8 years in a row and the Top Horror Attraction in the World.

London Bridge Experience and Tombs 

• Adults £22.50
• Children (ages 15 and under) £19.50

Reading through the reviews, it seems that guests either love or hate the London Bridge Experience and Tombs, with a 3.5 out of 5-star rating on TripAdvisor and a slightly better 4 out of 5 stars on Get Your Guide ( read the reviews ).

For many, the attraction is both hilarious and terrifying, while also incorporating lots of interesting British history.

Others found it to be overly cheesy and to rely too heavily on cheap scare tactics.

However, the general consensus is that you will enjoy it as long as you enter with an enthusiastic attitude!

TripAdvisor Rating: 3.5 stars.

THE LONDON DUNGEON  

The London Dungeon is a unique, interactive attraction in which you are guided through several different shows by professional actors who aim to make you laugh and scream in equal measure.

Each show brings to life a different moment in British history, with the entire production spanning 1,000 years of history.

There are a total of 19 live interactive shows, 20 actors, and 2 creep underground rides.

The London Dungeon

• Children (age 3-15) – from £23.50
• Children under 3 – free

Reviews of The London Dungeon

As one guest describes it, "it was so tacky, but so much fun!" Don't expect to be seriously scared during this attraction.

The London Dungeon is a fun and interactive way to see history come alive while having a few laughs along the way.

Some were disappointed with the long lines and overcrowding, however, that largely speaks volumes about the popularity of this attraction.

The staff has received several compliments for their enthusiasm and quality of acting.

LONDON GHOST WALKS

Frightfully good tours of haunted london, guided by the city's master of the macabre - richard jones, london's longest established ghost walks guide.

VISIT LONDON'S ACTIVE PARANORMAL LOCATIONS

If you want to encounter the darker recesses of haunted London, then be sure to join the only Ghost Walks to be led by Richard Jones - an internationally renowned authority on the ghosts of London who has written 22 books on the supernatural and who has been conducting walks around the Capital's most haunted places since 1982.

In Richard's company you will visit more of London's paranormally active locations and get to hear the most up to date and recent ghost stories drawn from Richard's extensive files on the Capital's paranormal happenings.

In fact, with Richard as your guide you are guaranteed a fascinating journey through the streets, graveyards and alleyways of old London, where a legion of lost souls have been just dying to make your acquaintance.

And, since Richard is widely regarded as London's premier expert on all things spooky and spectral, he is able to take you to places that other ghost walks never visit, places where those who have joined him on his haunted London tours have frequently encountered possible supernatural activity.

As London's Evening Standard put it:-

"...[ghost tours] of London are now a crowded market, but Richard Jones keeps ahead of the pack with impeccable research, and having honed his performance on more than 5,000 guided tours..."

LONDON'S LONGEST ESTABLISHED GHOST WALK GUIDE

Richard has been devising and conducting haunted tours since 1982, giving him the distinction of being the Capital's longest established ghost walk guide.

This track record means that, when you join him for a tour, you are being taken round by a guide who has both the knowledge and the experience to provide you with a quality tour.

However, Richard is not one of those dry-as-dust type of guides who drones on in a dull monotone about dry dates and dusty facts; his tours are dramatic performances that are as entertaining as they are enlightening and his dramatic style of presentation will breathe life into the history that surrounds you.

As The Orange County Register put it:-

"Richard Jones, a delightfully animated guide, takes his captivated audience past some parts of London it is a sure bet they would never see otherwise. It's hard not to shiver a few times, but it certainly adds an eerie, realistic air to the adventure..."

YOU'LL VISIT HAUNTED AND CREEPY LOCATIONS

Richard is up to date on all the most recent paranormal happenings in London and he knows the places to take you to where ghosts are seen and supernatural activity is experienced.

In these time-frozen places you will rub shoulders (so to speak) with the ghosts of Kings and Queens; the noble and the ignoble; the famous and the long forgotten.

The lost souls who have been biding their time throughout the daylight hours, just waiting for the moment when the shadows descend and every footstep echoes eerily through the darkness.

Then, and only then, can these restless revenants venture by moonlight into the courtyards and passageways of their city - the City of the Dead.

Are you fearless enough to follow in their footsteps?

Dare you walk the shadows to absorb the ambience of their night time haunts?

Do you have the resolve to listen to their stories in the darkness of this haunted hinterland?

A SPOOKY MIX OF THRILLS AND CHILLS

In the course of these ghost walks you'll enjoy a delightfully entertaining mix of thrills, chills, fun and fear as you make your way through atmospheric old  byways where you will find yourself looking nervously over your shoulder, ever wary of who, or what, might be waiting around the next corner or lurking just a few graves along.

And, because the locations you visit are genuine haunted hotspots, you might even be fortunate enough (or some might say unfortunate enough) to acquire evidence of their existence.

Indeed, you might even take away your very own souvenir of a paranormal encounter. It has been known to happen on Richard's London ghost walks.

DON'T JOIN A GUIDE WHO'S READ A BOOK JOIN THE GUIDE THAT WROTE THE BOOK

When you take a London ghost walk with Richard Jones you are not joining a guide who has simply read a few ghost stories in a book.

With Richard's tours you are locating the source, the man who wrote the best-selling and definitive guides to the capital's sinister and supernatural history Walking Haunted London, Jack the Ripper - The Casebook, Haunted London, Uncovering Jack the Ripper's London, and History and Mystery Walks in London.

Richard's books are often used by other guides to plan and research their own haunted London tours.

But, why join a guide who has read a book when you can join the guide who wrote the book?

The guide who has spent almost 40 years travelling the length and breadth of Britain's spectral landscape collecting the spookiest ghost stories and honing his abilities as a storyteller in order to present those tales in a manner that is both gripping and chilling.

As The Independent newspaper put it:-

“...This is among the most reliable of the many London Ghost walks. Richard Jones is a committed story teller...who shares his enthusiasm in the alleyways and hidden courtyards of the City.”

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS FOR RICHARD'S GHOST WALK

Those who have joined Richard's ghost tours have often commented on his spot-on timing and his superlative storytelling ability and many have written to say how much they enjoyed the experience.

Many of them have commented on just how contagious they have found Richard's passion for the subject and the sheer exuberance of his delivery.

Others have mentioned how his extensive knowledge of haunted and historic London shone through in the course of the tour.

Some have even written in to tell of strange occurrences that they themselves witnessed during a walk.

But, the one thing that they all feel compelled to comment upon is how much fun they had and how impressed they were by how much they learnt on their haunted tour.

“TRULY WHAT A FUN, FUN EXPERIENCE”

Dan Neidermyer took Richard's ghost tour on June 7th 1998. He later sent a letter applauding what he considered to be the "best" walk in London.

Dan is something of an expert on guided walks since he has "sounded out" and experienced Richard's competition over many years, making him ideally placed to make an informed decision on how they compare.

This is what he wrote:-

“...I had the privilege of being a member of that very-fortunate-for-choosing "THE-LONDON-GHOST-WALK" audience. Truly what a fun, fun experience! What an entertainer you are! I've been coming to England - and London in particular for many years. Over the years, I've done almost all "The Original London walks." In all honesty you are truly the "BEST." What a great evening. You gave so much to your group. You are a truly talented performer and what a privilege to watch you work. Thanks for caring so much about a Sunday night group...for truly enjoying performing so much and letting your tour group see your enjoyment...and for giving us a great evening in London, now and in its past!...” Dan Neidermyer Maranatha Productions

“THE BEST I HAVE COME ACROSS”

Andy Vine of Eastbourne Coaches organised a night time tour with Richard and brought a coach load of participants into London.

He later wrote to say what a great night his clients had had.

Again, Andy is in a position to give an informed opinion on the standard and the quality of a tour since he operates coach tours all over the country and so is able to make genuine comparisons. Concerning Richard's guiding and storytelling ability, Andy had this to say:-

“...Thanks for a great tour. As a coach operator we organize quite a few events that include guides and I must say yours was the best I have come across...thanks for your great work...” Andy Vine Eastbourne Coaches

“ODD. HISTORICAL. EXERCISING. SPOOKY . FUN!”

Annabel, a student at Imperial College in London, joined Richard on his Friday night Hidden Horrors Ghost Walk. She enjoyed it enough to make it the subject of her student blog on the college website.

This is what she had to say:-

“Our tour guide, Richard Jones, who possesses a superbly oratory and expressive voice, guided us from place to place in the local area. The guide put in neat bits of acting, stuttering or pausing to flinch as his delivery was distracted by unseen flickers in the background, throwing cautious glances, askance, and making all of us jump with perfectly timed volume changes in his storytelling. "BANG!" he screamed at one point, and "AAAAAARRGGH!!!!" at another, into the face of a poor girl who instinctively replied "AAAARRRRGGGHH!!!!!!!" right back. Odd. Historical. Exercising. Spooky. Fun!” Annabel's Student Blog Imperial College, London

“THIS MAN WAS A STAR”

The staff social club from the department store Caleys in Windsor booked their own private London Ghost Tour with Richard.

As it transpired the skies opened that night and the rain came hurtling down.

However, this didn't detract from their enjoyment and one of the participants published the following report in the staff newsletter:-

“Onwards and we find ourselves on the night in question being battered about by horrendous high winds and torrential rain. I was surprised to see the coach was full. If anything can get this amount of people out on a night like this it must be something special. On stepping out of the coach it came as a bit of a shock to be confronted by a man all dressed in black, who turned out to be our guide. Now, why was I with umpteen layers and coats on shivering on this vicious night and our guide was in just an old fashioned suit and looked perfectly warm. The guide's name was Richard, and what a clever dick he turned out to be! I mean that in the nicest possible way, as this man was a STAR. Not only was he a great orator, but he was also a first rate magician. A great evening out enjoyed by everyone I am sure...” Staff Newsletter Caleys, Windsor

“WE WERE AFRAID WHAT WAS AROUND THE CORNER”

On a dark and wet Saturday night, Michelle Armstrong joined Richard's Alleyways and Shadows Old City Ghost Walk.

Sheltering in one of the old covered alleyways that the tour ventures in to, she experienced something that proved somewhat distracting, not to say disturbing.

Now, it must be said that this particular alleyway is one of those aforementioned hotspots when it comes to paranormal occurrences, and many people sense a certain something when passing through it. So Michelle's experience was very much business as usual at this decidedly creepy location.

Here is how Michelle put it in her subsequent email:-

“I just wanted to mail you to tell you about something that happened to us whilst we were on your tour of the alleyways and shadows last night. Whilst you were talking, some of us had taken shelter in a covered alleyway. You were talking in front of the alleyway in front of a window above was some particularly spectacular Victorian decorative works on the building. I cannot recall what you were talking about because from the other end of that alley way there seemed to be a commotion. We (there were 4 of us) could all hear, whilst you were still talking there was a woman's scream. Then it went quiet apart from the sounds of some keys jangling. When it came time to pass through, we all stopped and let you go ahead, actually for fear of what was around the corner. Once around the corner, and to my surprise, there was not a street as expected, where revelers may have been, just an entrance to a restaurant. Absolutely no one around...Just thought I would share that... Hope to see you again sometime! Had a really enjoyable evening. Thank you” Michelle Armstrong Tour Participant

WHAT RICHARD'S WALKERS SAY Feedback from some of those who have taken Richard's Ghost Walks

"I have done a lot of guided walks with different guides and walking companies in London and I can honestly say the guided London ghost walk I did with Richard was the most fun guided walk I have ever been on and was also very informative"

John Scovell Posted On Richard's Facebook Page

"It would be very hard work for some orators to keep the attention of such a large crowd in such foul weather. You carried it out effortlessly and with apparent ease. Your attention to detail - demonstrated in one instance by the simple task of picking up a cold, wet cobblestone and bringing it to life - was evident throughout the evening.

Fond Regards

Thanking you again."

Paul and Maureen Lycett

"...I've been on several of the London walks ghost walks. While they have been good, my favorite is actually not a London walks but Richard Jones...."

Destination Expert Tripadvisor Forum

"I just wanted Richard to know that we had an absolutely fantastic time.

His passion and enthusiasm is what makes the walk so pleasurable. His historical knowledge of London and the buildings themselves add to the excitement of the stories."

Scott & Brittany Ferrara

"Good morning

Just a quick thanks for the entertaining ghost tour that my fiancé and I went on last night at 1900hrs, we thought Richard was very informative and had a great voice to listen too.

Thanks once again"

"Hi Richard,

I hope you're well?

I just wanted to email to say a massive thank you for the tour last night...it was really interesting and you're a very captivating tour guide.

All the best"

Zeina Samaha

"I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with you Richard. You are a gifted story teller. And I will be sure to recommend this to any friends visiting in the future."

Lynn Yarndon

"Just wanted to thank you for the excellent Haunted London tour we went on in August.

I have been a fan since I purchased your Haunted Britain and Ireland book years ago."

WALK THE STREETS OF HAUNTED LONDON

With paranormal author richard jones london's longest established ghost walk guide (walking the shadows since 1982), chilling encounters in the city of the dead.

Twilight creeps its weary way through the narrow alleyways and hidden courtyards that snake their way through the historic heart of the City of London.

Its gnarled fingers unlock ancient secrets of dark deeds that lie entombed behind the time-encrusted walls of the old churches and tumbledown graveyards.

Its rasping whisper echoes into the shadowy recesses of the forgotten nooks and corners of the City of dreadful night.

Long departed residents hear its call, and London's ghostly populace awakes from its slumbers and the spirits of the past cross the divide and begin to walk the streets as ghosts.

And now, in the company of paranormal author and renowned ghost hunter, Richard Jones, you have the opportunity to explore the City of the Dead and to, possibly, come face to face with London's eternal inhabitants.

"AHEAD OF THE PACK"

Richard's tours are widely regarded as being the best ghost walks on offer in London.

He is, after all, the author of 18 books on London and the paranormal, and he has the distinction of being London's longest established ghost walk guide.

As the Evening Standard put it:-

"Richard Jones keeps ahead of the pack with impeccable research, and having honed his performance in more than 5,000 guided tours...."

As a result of his "impeccable" - and ongoing - research, he knows the places to take you to where ghosts are known to lurk.

Indeed, having devoted 33 years to introducing residents and visitors alike to the darker and more sinister side of London's history, he can offer you more experience in the field than any other London guide.

In fact, many of the guides who conduct tours of haunted London use Richard's books - such as Walking Haunted London and Haunted Britain and Ireland - as the source for their material, which is all well and good and, in many ways, rather flattering, as it attests to the depth and thoroughness of his research.

But for you, the participant, wouldn't you rather be taken around by the source, the author of the books, as opposed to someone whose just read the stories in the books?

SEE THE PLACES WHERE GHOSTS LURK

On a Richard Jones ghost tour you don't just get the traditional ghost stories that you will hear on other London walks, you get to know about the most recent ghostly activity in London.

These are up to date hauntings that occurred, not on some unspecified date at some stage in London's distant past, but rather they are hauntings that happened last week, or last month and, in some cases, just the other day.

And, let's be perfectly honest about this, wouldn't you rather enjoy a ghost walk with a guide who knows the places to take you to where ghosts are still seen, as opposed to locations where they might have been seen a hundred or more years ago?

GHOSTS ON FILM

It is quite common for people to catch inexplicable images on photos that they take on the ghost walk.

A spectral girl who looks down from a time-smeared window pane is one of the regulars. The hooded figure that appears by a section of the old Roman wall is another.

Then there are the ubiquitous orbs that frequently appear on photographs taken in the course of the London ghost walk.

Whether these mysterious figures offer actual proof of paranormal activity is open to debate. But, when they do honour us with an appearance, their presence certainly makes for a great talking point amongst tour participants!

STORYTELLING AT ITS MARROW CHILLING BEST

It goes without saying that the most important part of a haunted tour is the ability of the guide to tell ghost stories in a way that can keep you gripped and on edge for the entire duration of the walk and, in this respect, Richard Jones is in a league of his own.

He has spent 33 years honing his performance to ensure that his tours achieve just the right mix of historical fact, creepy happenings and spine-tingling tales.

However, he doesn't just recite the facts and stories, as so many guides do, but rather, he tells the stories, acting them out in front of you against the backcloths of the locations where the events of each story occurred.

Dressed in his trademark outfit - that of an esteemed Victorian undertaker - he possesses the presence and panache of a seasoned trouper, coupled with the vocal range of a skilled orator.

As the Orange County Register put it in a review of his tour "...It's hard not to shiver, but it certainly adds an eerie, realistic air to the adventure..."

JOIN THE DOYEN OF THE DARKNESS

So, if you really want to see and experience the streets of haunted London on a ghost tour that is as spooky as it is fascinating, then be sure to join the only London ghost walks that are led by the undisputed doyen of the darkness and prepare to enter a twilight world of mists and miasmas where, to quote the Mandatory Travelogue, "even the strongest and stoutest laugh nervously..."

UK Travel Planning Guide: the FAQs

🏥 Should I buy UK travel insurance?

Absolutely yes. Basic coverage is not expensive, and as a visitor you are NOT covered under the NHS. Compare policies and prices with Travel Insurance Master here , a big name in the travel insurance business, and cross that off your list.

🔌 Do I need travel adapters for the UK?

Yes, you do, otherwise you won’t be able to plug in your electronics/phone/lifelines. I recommend this one , which is all-in-one so you can use it in other countries.

🚗 What do I need to drive in the UK?

The first thing you need to check out if you’re planning on renting a car in the UK is this guide to driving in the UK for visitors – the roads, signs, and driving experience will likely not be what you’re used to and it’s essential to prepare yourself to stay safe and aware.

🛌 What’s the best way to book hotels in the UK?

For UK hotels, Booking is the best site as it offers free cancellation on many properties. If you want an apartment, I always recommend VRBO over AirBnb.

📳 Will my phone work in the UK?

Yes – if you set it up right. Check out my guide on making your foreign phone work in the UK to ensure that you get the type of service you need.

🚿 Can I drink the water in the UK?

Yes, UK water is great and perfectly safe. But drink out of taps in any kitchen or use water fountains. Double check before drinking out of the taps in hotel bathrooms, though, as they may be on a different system. London water is safe to drink .

Heading to London? Want the best tips?

We have done several other tours before (in different locations) and George is by far the best tour guide I have ever seen. I don't usually leave reviews but was very impressed and hope to book some of his other tours in the future.

This ancient seat of learning holds many dark secrets.

Oxford’s streets have played host to agony and horror, torment and terror.  Morbid phantoms of the past stalk shadowy recesses in colleges, condemned to rehearse their lamentable ordeals for all time.

The ‘Dreaming Spires’ is a place of nightmares.

The Ghost Walk is an unsettling journey through the bleakest moments in University history…

Spring and Summer tours, and 4pm and 5pm tours in Winter include entry to a haunted college.  The pricing reflects that.

Both last approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, and depart from outside Trinity College gates on Broad Street.

Tickets can be purchased from the guide prior to departure, or online in advance .  For Enquiries and Group Bookings please call Stuart on 07790 734387 or see the booking form .
