Halloween: The Ghosts of Manchester at St Ann’s Church, City Centre 31 October 2025 Tickets from £25.00 — Book now

Explore Manchester’s creepiest corners this Halloween, when Jonathan Schofield Tours will reveal the city’s ghosts with the most.

With its historic buildings and dark industrial past, Manchester is considered to be one of the more haunted cities in the UK. Lurking around every corner is a supernatural tale. There are gruesome executions and wails of lovers left behind. There are tales of world-famous opera singers returning from the dead, the devil seizing souls, and the Manchester Ophelia who, when drowned, wouldn’t stay dead.

But it’s not all ghosts. There are tales of enchanters, pig men and many other wonders of the supernatural world that have been handed down through the generations. These are genuine Manchester stories, not contrived for your entertainment. They just happen to be very entertaining indeed.

Starting at St Ann’s Church, this walking tour will take you all around the city centre, finishing in a dark place for a surprise. Along the way, your knowledgeable and experienced tour guide will illuminate the rich history of the city through the lens of the paranormal. Expect fabulous story-telling, dark thrills and lots of laughs.

“When you’re in the dark, in a very claustrophobic, strange area, you begin to question whether the person next to you just touched your arm, or if it was someone, or something, else. The Haunted Underworld Tour is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon – funny and scary. Schofield is an extremely adept tour guide and you’ll pick up a couple of secrets about the wonderful city of Manchester. But be warned, it is definitely not for those of a nervous disposition.” – Tracey Lowe, The Good Review
