This is the student's story. All the guides on this walking tour are either current or former students at the university. They have lived in the drafty buildings, shivered in the dark corners, and even experienced ghosts.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
This is the world's most haunted university. Visit the haunted bookshop, a seemingly quaint, idyllic bookshop where a young woman still hovers, in an ethereal sort of way, by the shelves. Who are the unhappy ghosts of Corpus Christi? And what must you do when you hear a panting hound behind you?
This is Cambridge as seen by the ghosts who haunt it. Over the course of an hour you will come to understand more about the supernatural events in this iconic city. It is a walking tour packed with witches, bodies and floating horses. In this, the most educated of places, what sort of meat were they burning in the marketplace? Really ?
TELL ME MORE
If you like a walk on the spooky side of the street, then sign up now. The skeleton in the cupboard is not just a phrase; an actual skeleton was kept in Jesus College in the Old Library. Newspaper articles about the famous skeleton now form part of the college collections.
The Alumni leading this walk have let these stories seep into their bones. They have lived the walk and now want to share the talk. Prepare for a thrill, and do look out for the ghost of Oliver Cromwell, as you listen for the sound of ancient soldiers as they scrapped their boots on the floor of Kings College Chapel - a chapel that doubled as their barracks during the civil war.
Gruesome happenings? Fabulous. Don’t look behind you, and remember, keep close to your guide.
