Description

Cambridge is 'Alive' with Ghosts! (see what we did there?!) - Hear chilling tales of phantom Fellows and spooky Scholars that haunt the city.
What do you get when you stir together 2,000 years of history, a generous helping of ancient buildings, and a cast of some of the world’s most colourful—and cursed—characters? You get a city that’s not just old… it's alive with ghosts.

This isn't your typical walking tour. The Creepy Tour takes you on a spine-tingling journey through Cambridge’s shadowy corners and sinister past. You’ll:

Meet the victims of horrific punishments and explore the darkest chapters of local justice
Stand before the ominous hangman’s house and hear tales of gruesome retribution
Walk down one of the most haunted roads in England, where the brave still shudder
Discover chilling stories of phantom Fellows and spooky Scholars who refuse to leave their colleges behind
Marvel at atmospheric alleyways, secret courtyards, and centuries-old architecture—all hiding secrets you won’t find in the guidebooks
This immersive storytelling tour blends local folklore, real history, and a dash of theatrical flair for an unforgettable evening of thrills, laughter, and the occasional ghostly chill.Important Tour Info
