Haunted Oxford - Ghost Tour

Step into the shadows of history and embark on an uncomfortable ghost tour as we learn about the events that have sparked the many eerie tales of hauntings in Oxford. This tour was researched and designed by two historians who study the history of hauntings and ghost stories, and it examines how hauntings live on through oral histories and social disquiet.

Our Haunted Oxford tour delves into the real stories behind the supernatural, revealing the unsettling moments from the past that sparked their telling. Throughout this walk, you will discuss the underlying social frictions that fuel ghost stories, and examine why we are so fascinated by dark histories. 

This unique ghost tour examines haunting through the echoes of gender disparities, oppression, violence, social division, and the powerful grip of memory.

All our tours are led by university researchers who have completed our official Uncomfortable Oxford™ training programme. Our guides combine expert knowledge and performance, ensuring each tour is a fun and educational experience.

Tour recommended for teens age 12 and older.
