Why choose this Oxford tour ?
Follow me down a dark alleyway into Oxford’s mysterious and bloody past.
Oxford is one of the most haunted places in Britain, with good reason. It was the murder capital of medieval England, largely due to its extremely badly behaved student population.
I will take you on a tour round the city’s most sinister streets and baddest back-alleys, where we will hear about the terrible events that have left so many spirits wandering eternally. Burning bishops. Enraged poltergeists. Abandoned lovers. The Devil himself!! All have made their restless presence felt over the centuries and if we’re (un)lucky, we might spot one of them tonight – it has happened on my tours before.
This tour is thoroughly enjoyed by children, but it does contain some quite gory details so check they are ok with that. It needs to take place when it’s dark, as that’s when ‘they’ come out. It could well be cold, and possibly wet, so please dress accordingly.

What makes Ghost Tour of Oxford a unique experience ?
We will start at the oldest building in Oxford: the Saxon tower at St Michael’s at the North Gate, on the ancient street of Cornmarket, where the decapitated heads of executed prisoners used to be displayed to all who entered, as a warning. . .
The place three bishops were burned by Bloody Mary.
Here we will see a haunted pub overlooked by a haunted tower…
This spooky medieval lane is home to two college hauntings and some rather dramatic poltergeist activity.
Where a famous author’s ghost often leaves a whiff of tobacco smoke in his wake, and a civil war colonel’s spirit cannot forget the great injustice done to him.
Where a poor student died possibly the grossest death imaginable…
Where the Devil himself came to Oxford, with gruesome results.
