Part of Hair Raiser Tours’ Haunted Heritage Festival | October 2025
Step into the shadows this October as we celebrate 50 million steps into the unknown. Haunted Heritage brings Otago’s hidden and haunted secrets to life in a month of chilling tours and anniversary events.
This special edition tour takes you back to 1865 – a year that shocked Dunedin to its core.
From hangings and holdups to scandalous crimes that rocked the city, you’ll walk in the footsteps of those who lived – and died – in an infamous year of unrest.
Guiding you through it all is Andrew Smith – historian, New Zealand’s original ghost guide, and pioneer of dark tourism. With decades of research and storytelling behind him, Andrew combines chilling history with spine-tingling atmosphere, lighting the way into the shadows of Dunedin’s past.
🎟 Your ticket includes exclusive entry to Dunedin’s Old Gaol – a site steeped in chilling history and restless echoes.
🎟 Bookings essential – limited spaces available.
Reserve your place now.
