About This Tour
As darkness falls, Oxford’s haunted history stirs! Journey through the oldest parts of the medieval city, uncovering its grim and gruesome past. Hear of murders and executions, phantoms and spirits, ancient libraries and unsolved mysteries—and the real history behind them! From Martyrs Cross, where bishops burned in Bloody Mary’s reign, wander down shadowy streets to Dead Man's Walk, where a spectral soldier guards the city walls. Discover how Oxford’s brooding architecture inspired storytellers like Tolkien, Lewis, and Wilde, and hosted literary icons from Hamlet to Harry Potter. As you walk the moonlit passageways, your guide will share horrible histories and spectral stories from across the ages. They may even tell of their own eerie experiences on Oxford's most haunted street...if they're sure the resident poltergeist isn’t listening! Join us—and the ghosts of centuries past—for a tour of Oxford's macabre history, fantasy heritage, and sinister tales to haunt your imagination…
