Haunted Heritage: The Poltergeist of the Precinct

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 spine-tingling journey takes you to the White City of Oamaru, where cobblestone streets and grand Victorian architecture conceal stories the history books left behind. Among the precinct’s quiet façades linger chilling tales of resident hauntings, whispers of restless spirits, and legends that refuse to die.

Guided by Andrew Smith – historian, New Zealand’s original ghost guide, and pioneer of dark tourism – you’ll encounter eerie accounts that have haunted the city for generations. Along the way, prepare to meet the terrifying legend of Spring-Heeled Jack, whose sinister shadow once leapt across Victorian imaginations.

🎟 Bookings essential – limited spaces available.
