Falmouth Ghost Tour: Haunted Stories & Hidden History
Description
A fun-and-fascinating ghost tour that aims to bring Falmouth's dark side to life. The top-notch storytelling will introduce you to those who once walked here — the shipwrecked sailors, the forlorn cannibals, the defiant 'working girls' — and change how you see the town forever. The Falmouth Ghost Tour is a wonderfully enjoyable way of connecting to the place and its past.
Tour Options
Itinerary
You begin your tour by meeting your undead guide in a haunted bank vault. It's a space with a palpably strange energy, still feared by the staff of The Touc Inn today.
You plunge into some of the wretched tales that once played out over Falmouth's harbour. Shipwrecks, undead sailors, disaster!
You take a jaunt through the story of Falmouth's 'night time trade' and hear about one community who refused to be ashamed.
You get to enjoy a wonderfully amusing story from 1881, when some bakers ventured into their kitchen and found something they're weren't expecting...
You gaze down one of Falmouth's most atmospheric opes and hear a story of cannibalism. But was it a crime?
If you're very lucky, your undead guide will feel able to share the dramatic story of how his life came to an end.

Myself and a friend really enjoyed our evening, hearing about the history of Falmouth, the gentleman that took the tour was very funny and friendly and very informative in regards to Falmouth. A great evening was had by all.
We went on the Ghost Tour this week, having previously done the daytime walking tour and enjoyed it. The Ghost Tour did not disappoint! Will is such an engaging and enthusiastic storyteller that he has the whole group enthralled. He makes sure that the stories are suitable for all ages if there are children present, and keeps the pace moving at a perfect speed. His accordion playing really helps with the atmosphere too. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn a little more about the hidden history of this amazing town, in an entertaining and amusing way.
A really fun experience. The guide is excellent. Highly recommend.
That was a very exciting Ghost tour many thanks for that experience Robert the dead pirate
Excellent! There were lots of true stories that could be verified. A good selection of gruesome historical tales mixed with humour. Brought to life by Bob in character. Walk took us through the town which is a bit of a climb at the end, but guide goes at your pace and still packs in the tales.
Entertaining walking tour of Falmouth with a very experienced deceased guide. As a local I learnt a great deal. Some staggering tales of local fact and legend and quite a lot of mischief.
Our ghost guide was very friendly and informative about tales and history. Will played beautifully too. Very enjoyable
Good fun tour. Bobby was a great guide and had lots of stories.
