This is the perfect experience for anyone who loves ghost stories, history, and a little after-dark adventure.
Uncover the haunted side of Oxford on a thrilling 90-minute evening walking tour through the city’s mysterious streets and hidden corners.
Led by the wonderfully theatrical paranormal expert Ms Morgana McGhoul, the Spectre Ghost Tour blends spine-tingling storytelling, fascinating local history, humour, and live entertainment into one unforgettable night out. From the very first step, guests are drawn into a world of eerie legends, unexplained happenings, and ghostly tales that have haunted Oxford for centuries.
Starting at the iconic Oxford Castle & Prison, the tour ventures through some of the city’s oldest and most atmospheric locations. Along the way, visitors will discover chilling stories of apparitions, strange encounters, and mysterious events linked to Oxford’s 1,000-year history.
But don’t worry, while the tour delivers plenty of spooky moments, it’s designed to be fun as well as frightening. With clever storytelling, theatrical performances, and touches of humour throughout, it’s suitable for families with kids looking for a memorable evening with a supernatural twist.
The small-group format also makes the experience feel more personal and immersive, allowing guests to truly soak up the atmosphere of Oxford after dark.
