Dorset’s harbour towns and rural communities are rich with stories that have gathered over centuries — tales of shipwrecks, smuggling, unexplained happenings and figures said to linger in quiet lanes long after dark. Our ghost walks explore these accounts through a mix of history, local folklore and documented reports, brought to life through thoughtful, atmospheric storytelling.
Each walk is delivered in small groups, giving guests the space to absorb the stories or join in with real paranormal investigation using EMF meters, dowsing rods and other equipment. Involvement is always optional; the experience flows naturally from the setting, the history and the accounts associated with each location.
These experiences are designed to spark curiosity rather than fear. You’ll come away with new insight into Dorset’s lesser-known past and a deeper appreciation for the mysteries woven into the county’s landscape.
