Pontefract Ghost Walk

👻 Pontefract Ghost Walk – Legends, Lore & Restless Spirits

Step into the historic streets of Pontefract and uncover the ghostly tales woven into the town’s past…

Led by The Curator, this guided ghost walk explores Pontefract’s documented hauntings, folklore, and darker history, blending traditional storytelling with real locations and local legend.

This is a classic outdoor ghost walk — atmospheric, narrative-led, and rooted in the town’s streets rather than staged scares or indoor investigations.

Please note: this tour does not include 30 East Drive or entry inside Pontefract Castle, as these are covered by other fantastic specialist tours.
