Bath Ghost Tours is the creation of Brother Fergus and Doctor Blood, two rather unsavoury characters both quite dead of course. The tours themselves have been running since December 2015, taking visitors to the city to the most haunted locations in the town. Bath itself is literally crawling with ghosts from all of periods of the city's history, far too many to fit into just one 105 minute tour. Consequently the hauntings and stories that are included in the tours have been selected for their uniqueness, gruesomeness and even their likelihood of a genuine sighting!
After just a few months, it became increasingly apparent that in one particular location of the city, experiments using the visitors to capture photographic evidence of paranormal activity, was increasingly successful.
Because of these sometimes quite shocking results, the tours themselves have become a blend of gruesome tales, theatre, fun and paranormal experiments... So what are you waiting for? Contact us now for a uniquely fun and frightening night out in Bath!
The Tours
Each tour takes our guests through various parts of the city, Roman, Medieval and Georgian locations, many of which would otherwise remain hidden from the casual visitor. We begin outside the famous Abbey and eventually return you all quite alive back in the centre of town in or around Queens Square. The tour itself is suitable for all ages, even children as young as 6 or 7, there is some walking involved, with one small set of stairs to negotiate, but otherwise it is a gentle stroll, as you will need all your strength to deal with the ghosts!
The tours run for 105 minutes and is a wonderful way to see this beautiful city at night. Of course that is just the bonus of the tour, the main reason to come on a tour is to discover some of the many haunts that exist within the walls of this very old city. On each tour you will hear gruesome tales of murder, horrors, witch burnings, tragic suicides and relentless hauntings from beyond the grave! There are in this town, ghosts of Roman soldiers, medieval monks, witches, victims of sword fights, restless spirits of the executed, the insane and even the hopelessly romantic
(not every ghost has a dark reason to haunt). Guests on the tours are encouraged to participate in the theatre of the night as well as in some of the paranormal experiments which we conduct, although you do have to be brave to volunteer for such. On some evenings, the results of these experiments can be quite nerve-racking!
Group sizes for the tours can fluctuate between 4 and 34, Friday and Saturday nights are naturally the busiest so it is always wise to book in advance for those evenings. On very busy nights, particularly during the summer, there will be 2 guides/2 tours per night.
Private bookings are also available for parties, corporate functions, hen nights or just because you want your own private ghost tour, minimum numbers apply, please contact us for further details, or click below to see availability for our regulat 7.30pm Private Tour option.
