Ghost Walks
Tread in the footsteps of Portsmouth’s unseen residents...
Fearfully follow our knowledgeable Guide through the streets of Portsmouth as they take you back in history, uncovering sinister secrets on every corner. If you have an appetite for the unexplored, or wish to tread in the footsteps of the city’s most notorious one-time residents, this is for you.
We bring history to life with night-time ghost tours around the Portsmouth area, using qualified, costumed tourist guides and actors.
Spirits, Sailors and Spice – the haunting of Spice Island
Possibly the most haunted city on the South Coast, Portsmouth has a dark history of murder, mayhem, plotting and politics. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the old quarter of the city - a place known as Spice Island.
The tour brings to life drink-sodden sailors staggering through crooked alleyways searching the pleasure of 'respectable' ladies of the night.
From the first terrorists to the murder of nobility, the dark streets of Old Portsmouth are witness to it all. Stick close to your guides as they take you deep into the 900 years of maritime history.
Your costumed tour guides will collect those brave enough from outside the Square Tower or Southsea Castle. Check the booking section of this site for dates and locations Ghost Walks dates>
