Explore one of the most haunted cities in the country on 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.
Available in English, 中文, and Español.

5.00Always with the intention of knowing urban legends I could not overlook this place to do this ghost tour and its excellent exhibitor Anny left us a pleasant experience with her knowledge. I recognize the work and formality of the company, is not always the case elsewhere.
Great experience and excellent quality/price for private tour

5.00Giri our guide was amazing! Made the tour entertaining, interesting and engaging. We did the tour as a Team Social and we really enjoyed it. A nice walk around Cambrige Colleges and a Cemetery which I think would be really spooky at night. Giri made the tour - really lovely and pleasant to speak to, turned up on time (absolute bonus) ... I would highly recommend!
