Description
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.

Itinerary
Clare College
Cambridge is not just about folklore and ghost tales—it’s also a city of science. Discover how science and the supernatural come together in this remarkable city of explorers of the otherworldly.
Visit one of the nicest parts of Cambridge, which hides a darker past. Long ago, it was the site of horrific executions and terrible acts tied to heresy and witchcraft. Beneath its calm today lies a history of fear and suffering.
Learn about a quiet bookshop believed to be haunted by the friendliest ghost in Cambridge. Keep your senses sharp—something unseen may be close.
Stop and, if time allows, step inside the Eagle Pub—known for more than just pints and RAF graffiti. Hear the story of a deadly fire, and the presence said to remain ever since.
Walk across Free School Lane and sense the lingering darkness some say still hangs in the air. Many believe the energy of this place quietly permeates the street even today.
Corpus Christi College
Learn about Corpus Christi, a college wrapped in silence but heavy with unsettling tales. Behind its dark walls linger stories of restless figures, unexplained noises, and shadows that don’t belong.
Peterhouse
The oldest college in town hides the secret of the most famous and recent ghost haunting, which caught the attention of the whole nation. To this day, no one truly knows what happened.

Among certified myths and facts, a good taste in the mouth
Always 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 Tour - very interesting information
Giri 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!
