The only Manchester Ghost Tours in the dark this December​

​These will be the most entertaining and thrilling ghost tours in the North West this Christmas. They all conclude underground in a dark and ancient space.

On the tour you will hear tales of world-famous opera singers returning from the dead, the devil seizing souls, the Manchester Ophelia who when she drowned wouldn’t stay dead and of the lover who died of a broken heart following the gruesome execution of her sweetheart and how her anguished cries still echoed around the city.

There are stories of enchanters, pig men and many other wonders of the supernatural that have been handed down through the generations.

AND all these stories are genuine Manchester stories. They are not gimmicks.

The tour starts above ground standing on the dead, so to speak, winds its way through the city a short way, before concluding beneath one of the oldest surviving buildings in Manchester city centre.

​It will be dark down there, it will be scary. Things may happen. 

As well as the thrills there are lots of laughs on the tour and a lot of background city history. Expect fabulous story-telling, drama and entertainment on a truly memorable tour.
 
The tours last for around 80/90 minutes. Minimum age is 12 years. Not all tours may be conducted by Jonathan Schofield. Corporate, educational and special occasion tours can also be organised.  Please wear sensible footwear. If you don't have access to Paypal to pay in advance, just give me a call on 07876235638 or email on jgschofield@btinternet.com. ​Please bring along the Paypal receipt as your booking confirmation and ticket. This is sent automatically by Paypal when your payment is made. Drunk or otherwise intoxicated people will not be allowed on the tour and they will not be refunded. 

COVID 19 NOTE: Despite ending in the dark these tours will be so arranged that social distancing will be maintained along with the obligatory use of facemasks in interior spaces. Your booking details will be used for track and trace.


MEET at the Boer War Memorial in St Ann's Square, between HSBC Bank and The Royal Exchange. M2 7HD.
  

Ghost tours
Some testimonials

"When you’re in the dark, in a very claustrophobic, strange area, you begin to question whether the person next to you just touched your arm, or if it was someone, or something, else. The Haunted Underworld Tour is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon – funny and scary. Schofield is an extremely adept tour guide and you’ll pick up a couple of secrets about the wonderful city of Manchester. But be warned, it is definitely not for those of a nervous disposition." Tracey Lowe, The Good Review

"Such a great ghost tour! Thanks for a spooky Halloween." Charlotte Stear

"I would like to thank Jonathan Schofield for scaring the bejesus out of me on the Haunted Underworld tour last night.” Andrew Jackson, Import Manager.

Hi Jonathan, I wanted to drop you a line following our Haunted Tour on Friday. Very simply put, absolutely brilliant!! Thank you for your knowledge and passion for Manchester. As a Mancunian ‘cemented’ to the City (I think Morrissey once said that!) it was fantastic to hear the stories and to experience areas of the city I guess not many have. I will most certainly be taking you up on the alternative tours of the City with other contacts/clients in the near future (I just need to earn a few quid first). Kindest regards, Andy T. Andrew Titterton. Director, for and on behalf of Studio KMA.
