Our 60-minute outdoor ghost tour. Wander through eerie streets where ghostly apparitions have been reported for centuries. We don’t use props or jump scares—instead, we share the fascinating supernatural stories that bring Cambridge’s history to life.
Hear about the restless spirit said to haunt a local pub and the ghosts linked to some of the city’s oldest sites. Discover the strange events at Peterhouse that made headlines nationwide, and learn about the dark history of Corpus Christi College and the tragic fates that befell many there.
The tour ends near the city centre, close to the lively parts of town—just in time for a meal or a drink to shake off the spookiness of your journey

The walk was a lot of fun and Annie was great. She told the ghost stories well and enthusiastically answered questions about the University and her experiences.

Annie was very knowledgeable and very nice. She was able to give insight as a former student. Highly recommend!

This tour, hosted by Fransesco, was a great way to spend the afternoon of Halloween before we went for dinner. Francesco brought Cambridge, and particularly certain colleges of the university, during the Middle Ages to life with creepy tales of ghosts and tragedies. Highly recommended for adults and older children.
