Haunted Heritage: The Ghost Garden

Part of Hair Raiser Tours’ Haunted Heritage Festival | October 2025

Step into the shadows this October as we celebrate 50 million steps into the unknown. Haunted Heritage brings Otago’s hidden and haunted secrets to life in a month of chilling tours and anniversary events.

This evocative tour invites you into the Gothic Northern Cemetery for an exploration unlike any other. By lantern light, you’ll uncover the supernatural significance of its mysterious plantings, tracing connections to Dunedin’s rich botanical history and the ancient Celtic beliefs that echo through the grounds.

Guided by Andrew Smith – historian, New Zealand’s original ghost guide, and pioneer of dark tourism – this walk reveals a world where superstition, folklore, and botany intertwine. From tales of pixies and fairies to whispers of otherworldly lore, every corner of the cemetery holds secrets waiting to be unearthed.

🌿 Prepare for an evening that is equal parts enchanting, eerie, and unforgettable.

🎟 Bookings essential – limited spaces available.
