Top Cambridge Pop Culture

Cambridge is known for its University and ancient buildings, but a lot of visitors miss out on the haunted history and mysterious stories associated with its famous buildings.

This is no ordinary walking tour—it’s a ghostly adventure through haunted lanes, mysterious pubs, and historic chapels, led by tales of tragic scholars, spectral ladies, and phantoms both gentle and sinister.

You'll be armed with a built in EMF reader to detect spirits when they are near. Go at your own pace, anytime. The tour never expires.

Many people come to Cambridge to see its magnificent university buildings, but if you’d like to discover a different side of the city, and hear the stories that don’t usually feature on traditional walking tours, then this ghost tour is a great pick.
