Ghost tour Cambridge: Haunted colleges and witch trialsYou walk through central Cambridge visiting seven haunted sites — a ducking stool, an exorcised church, a college with a skeleton cupboard, and a pub where ghosts suffocate if the window closes — while your guide tells the specific deaths and punishments tied to each location. The tour adjusts its stops and stories based on your group's questions, and takes roughly two hours through fully accessible streets.Is it for me?Right for anyone who knows Cambridge's surface — the colleges, the river, the tourist squares — and wants to learn what actually happened in those places. Expect stories about witches, hangings, and exorcisms told by someone who knows which buildings still unsettle people, not a generic haunted-house narrative.

Hear Market Square’s famous bells, try (and probably fail) to pronounce “Caius,” and end up outside the pub where DNA was toasted over beer. You’ll laugh more than you expect — and see Cambridge as locals do.

The walking section covers Trinity College, Queens' College, the Mathematical Bridge, the Bridge of Sighs and other landmarks; the punt then passes eight colleges and nine bridges from the water.

If you want to see inside King's College Chapel, add it at checkout; it's a self-guided visit that fits between the walking tour and the punt, so you don't need to arrange a separate trip.
