Itinerary
When Liverpool falls under the atmospheric cloak of darkness, you’ll weave your wicked way to a central spot and greet your guide. Take your first tentative steps into Liverpool’s gruesome history as you stroll towards Rodney Street, on which 40 ghost sightings have been reported.
As you walk along one of Britain’s most haunted streets, listen to stories of restless specters said to roam after dark. Hear the tragic tale of Polly, a woman reputed to haunt the former nurse’s home, and feel your spine tingle at the story of ‘Lantern Jaw’, a ghost with a colossal jaw, top hat and flowing cape.
Continue to St Andrew’s Cemetery and uncover the mystery behind the legend-shrouded pyramid, said to contain the remains of a Victorian man who sold his soul to the Devil during a poker game.
Conclude your terrifying tour at the Anglican Cathedral — the largest, and reputedly most haunted, cathedral in Britain. In the graveyard, more than 58,000 bodies rest and recorded sightings of restless souls are countless.
After a 1.5-hour walk, bid your guide farewell outside of the cathedral.

One of the best walks i've been on very informative and funny . wIth time to see things you would normaly walk past .
I have never been to a ghost tour quite like this one. Our guides (the sisters - I’m so sorry I forgot their names) were entertaining, enthusiastic and theatrical. You couldn’t help but be hooked throughout the entirety of a tour.
I loved the use of props for a jump scare as well as the extra third person.
Quite simply The best ghost walk we've been on. Brilliantly hosted and a superb way to see parts of Liverpool you wouldn't discover alone. I can't say much more as I don't want to spoil anything for anyone going but it's blooming brilliant value and entertainment!! Loved every minute!
I had the absolute pleasure of joining the Shiverpool Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour on the evening of Friday 22nd May, and it quickly became one of the standout highlights of my trip. Led by the marvellously macabre “Chiller Black” (Lucy) and her wonderfully “wyrd” sister (whose name, much to my shame!, cannot now remember 😔), the tour wove through both iconic and tucked‑away corners of Liverpool, each stop accompanied by deliciously eerie tales of hauntings, history, and sinister goings‑on. What truly elevated the experience was the duo’s razor‑sharp wit — quip after gag after perfectly timed jest had our group in stitches all evening, without ever breaking the spooky spell they cast over the city streets. After the tour, I had a lovely chat with Lucy, who was every bit as warm and charming as she was "in character", and she kindly pointed me back toward the city centre from the Cathedral. It was a brilliantly entertaining, atmospheric and joyfully theatrical evening that I would recommend to anyone visiting Liverpool.
Nice spooky atmosphere, clear presentation of the story, and very enjoyable overall. It shows a different view of Liverpool altogether.
Unmissable entertainment and excitement with the fabulous Shiverpool team.
Thank you for a great tour.
brilliant hosts, fascinating stories and a lovely area to walk around with a fun crowd - we loved it! Thanks
Amazing experience, tour guides were very enthusiastic and engaging. The tour itself was very interesting, and great to do solo!
Absolutely the best experience...the 2 guides were terrifying in the best way possible.
My 2 friends and I were all made to feel genuinely welcome and included during the tour. It was very informative and although the weather was atrocious, we were all kept safe from the slippery paths, it actually added to the experience. Its a must do when visiting Liverpool.
The best ghost tour we've ever seen,highly entertaining,funny,interesting.
Would give 10 stars.It is a "Must do tour"when visiting Liverpool
Very interesting and scary and funny , the hosts made the experience entertaining, very good locations as well
Chiller Black was extremely entertaining and engaging -- and a very talented actress! She and her sidekick were also very effective at herding the group along. We enjoyed every minute of the performance. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
The best ghost tour we've ever been on.
Not only was it knowledgeable, it was entertaining and fun. The theatricals were brilliant. Everybody should do this.
This tour ended up being so different than I expected. The subject matter of the tour took a complete backseat to the animation of the two tour guides. I've never met a pair of individuals that could entertain me and captivate the attention of the group more than these two. Grab a pint and join this tour for a great time in downtown Liverpool. Highly recommended.
We had a good time on the ghost tour, tour guides were funny and acknowledged. We enjoyed the evening with the ghost story. We recommended it
We’ve done a lot of walking tours across the world, and I think this was the best large-group one we’ve ever had. The guides (a guy and gal whose names I now can’t remember 😩) did really well herding us all throughout the tour, but also employed so much theatricality and teamwork it was impossible not to enjoy! Their performance was really well-choreographed, providing information and LOTS of entertainment. Also, it’s definitely a city full of students and/or young people, and the guides did really well redirecting heckling. The finale was my favorite, but the whole tour was a blast!
It was fun and entertaining. We got to go to a cemetery and find out about all the ghost. Fun stories.
My family has done quite a few wonderful ghost tours in different locations over the years, and this one is by far our favorite. Our two guides on Saturday, April 12th were absolutely perfect - maybe even better that perfect, if that is possible! We laughed so much, and enjoyed all the spooky tales. This tour is well worth your time in Liverpool! In a league of its own, truly.
excellent tour , would recommend for a fun evening, great knowledge for the area, and very ghoulish,
We had a really enjoyable evening
Our hosts were both knowledgeable engaging and funny and we all agreed that Shiverpool was the highlight of our short trip to the city
Would definitely recommend this trip to others
Superb entertaiment and great scares all around the route. Really good. I will definitely recommend this to everyone who is traveling to Liverpool to get around the Shiverpool, for both history and how they tell the story.
I would have given they six starts if it was possible
Excellent tour guides that gave us such a fun and also more importantly an educational guide and I will tell my friends about this!
Both guides were incredibly funny and great actors! This was a birthday present for a friend and she loved it.
The scare at the end in the cathedral was great.
Meeting Chiller Black and Indiana Bones was very exciting.
Great theatric performances.
Very informative and inclusive and engaging of the guests
The tour took us around Liverpool giving us some great views of the city. Our guides put on an excellent show, keeping us entertained the entire time. The show will run the full 90 minutes so plan accordingly.
Wish I could give you more stars! Had a fantastic time. The tour guides were informative and so entertaining. My cheeks are still aching from laughing. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. We will definitely be back to do it again
Our guides were fantastic and entertaining, their knowledge of the city and the history of Liverpool lent much to the evening. When we come back we'll definitely book one of their other tours.
Absolutely hilarious and really interesting absolutely worth every penny and honestly truly hilarious 🤣🫶🏼
A fun, theatrical and interesting night out. Our two hosts were amazing with energy levels that kept us all enthralled and laughing. Recommended.
The lot.hosts were sensational! Great experience.real good entertainment . would go again.doughters birthday so she loved it. Best regards Mark and Melissa x
