Dorset’s market towns and coastal villages hold centuries of unusual stories — mysterious deaths, restless spirits, smugglers, shipwrecks and voices said to echo through ancient lanes after nightfall. Each walk explores history, folklore and reported hauntings through atmospheric storytelling and optional paranormal investigation.
With small group numbers, every guest has space to explore, observe or get more hands-on with investigative equipment. There is no pressure to participate — the experience is shaped naturally by each location and the history attached to it.
Our walks are not intended to terrify, but to intrigue. You’ll leave with questions, curiosity, and a glimpse into Dorset’s darker side that most people never see.
