👻 Make 2026 the Year You Try Something Unforgettable 🌙

Trowbridge Ghost Walk Returns!

New year, new experiences… and maybe a few unexplained encounters along the way.

The Trowbridge Ghost Walk is back for 2026, inviting you to step away from the ordinary and into the darker history of one of Wiltshire’s most intriguing towns.

Behind Trowbridge’s familiar streets lie centuries of industry, folklore and chilling reports that refuse to fade. As night settles in, we explore the stories, sightings and strange activity recorded across generations — then give you the chance to investigate them yourself.

This is a fully interactive experience, combining true local history with live paranormal investigation. Using genuine ghost-hunting equipment, you’ll pause at key locations known for unexplained events, creating unscripted moments where anything can happen.

Whether your New Year’s resolution is to be braver, try something new, or see your hometown from a completely different perspective, this is an experience that delivers.

To protect the atmosphere, group sizes are deliberately kept small, and events frequently sell out.

The Night Wells Learned to Fear the Silence

As dusk fell over Wells, the building that would later be known as The Crown stood solid and watchful.

But in the autumn of 1685, there was nothing routine about Wells.

News had travelled quickly. The Monmouth Rebellion had failed, and Judge George Jeffreys was coming west. His reputation arrived before him — a man known not for mercy, but for spectacle and severity. When he reached Wells, the city’s Market Place was chosen as the setting for justice.

Trials were held in public view.

From the upper rooms of The Crown, witnesses could look down onto the square where men and women stood accused of treason.

The square echoed with fear. Bells rang. Crowds gathered. And when it was over, Wells was forever changed.

The Crown endured. Long after the gallows were gone and the Bloody Assizes became history.

Centuries later, people began to notice things they couldn’t explain.

Guests spoke of footsteps pacing corridors late at night, though every room was occupied and every guest asleep. Staff reported the feeling of being watched in empty rooms. Some described seeing a tall, silent figure standing near fireplaces or doorways.

Others encountered a woman in old-fashioned dress, moving purposefully through the building as though still following a routine long forgotten. She never spoke. She never acknowledged anyone. She simply vanished.

Stand in the Market Place after dark and imagine the silence that followed the Bloody Assizes.
Some say that silence never truly left.

These are not legends invented to frighten — they are historical moments, real locations, and modern experiences, layered one upon another across centuries.

Hear the stories where they happened. Stand where history still feels close enough to touch.

👻 Join a Wells Ghost Tour with Extours

🚨 LAST-MINUTE TICKETS AVAILABLE — NEXT WEEK
👻 Dead Woman’s Ditch Paranormal Investigation

📅 Friday 9th / Saturday 10th January

High on the Quantock Hills, Dead Woman’s Ditch is one of Somerset’s most unsettling locations — a place of legend, tragedy and long-reported unexplained activity. Once darkness falls, the atmosphere shifts… and there’s no turning back.

This is not a ghost walk.
It’s a 90-minute, after-dark paranormal investigation, carried out in small groups using genuine paranormal equipment. Previous guests have reported strange lights, sudden cold spots and voices in the trees.

🕖 Investigation times:
🌙 6 PM & 8 PM each night
🎟️ Book now: www.extours.co.uk

⚠️ These are the final chances this week — once sold out, they’re gone.

Will you step into the darkness of Dead Woman’s Ditch… or scroll past and wonder what you missed? 👁️

In the late 18th century, Redruth was a town built on darkness.

Men worked deep underground by candlelight, hauling tin and copper from the earth. Above ground, once the mine engines fell silent, the town itself disappeared into shadow. After sunset, Redruth was lit only by flickering tallow candles and smoky oil lamps.

Then, quietly, something extraordinary happened.

On Cross Street stood the home of William Murdoch, a Scottish engineer employed by Boulton & Watt to improve the steam engines used in Cornish mines. Murdoch was known as a practical man. By day, he worked on engines that drained the mines. By night, inside his modest Redruth house, he experimented.

Murdoch was investigating a radical idea: producing light from coal gas.

Using iron vessels, he heated coal and captured the gas it released. He stored it, piped it through metal tubes, and fitted burners he designed himself. Coal gas was volatile, and mistakes could be fatal.

But Murdoch succeeded.

In the 1790s, he illuminated his Redruth home using gas, becoming the first person in the world to light a domestic building this way. The steady, bright glow was unlike anything people had seen before. It did not flicker. It transformed night into something close to day.

Soon after, Murdoch used gas lighting in the nearby foundry. When he later moved to Birmingham, his Cornish experiment laid the groundwork for gas-lit factories, streets, and cities across Britain.

And it began here, in Redruth.

Murdoch House still stands today, quietly marking the place where the modern, illuminated night was born. Yet like much of Redruth’s history, its story is easy to pass by without noticing.

Want to uncover stories like this after dark?

👻 Join an Extours Ghost Walk to explore Redruth’s streets by night, where real history meets legend, folklore, and the lingering echoes of the past.

Learn where innovation flourished, where tragedy struck, and why some places still feel watched long after dark.

➡️ Book your ghost walk with Extours and see Redruth in a whole new light.

👻 Step Into Taunton After Dark — Ghost Walks Return This Year!🌙

Some towns sleep at night. Taunton remembers.

Beneath its familiar streets lie centuries of unrest, hidden burial sites and stories quietly passed down through generations. In 2026, we’re returning to Taunton to explore the town once the daylight fades — and to investigate what history may have left behind.

The Taunton Ghost Walk is not a theatrical show or scripted scare. It’s a live, immersive experience where real local history meets hands-on paranormal investigation. Nothing is staged. Nothing is rehearsed. Every walk unfolds differently.

As we move through Taunton under cover of darkness, you’ll hear disturbing accounts tied to real locations — from forgotten graves to unexplained sightings still reported today. At selected stops, you’ll have the chance to take part using authentic paranormal equipment, helping us explore the unexplained activity linked to the town.

You’re welcome to observe or fully immerse yourself — either way, the atmosphere builds naturally, creating a night that’s tense, fascinating and unforgettable.

To keep the experience intimate and genuinely immersive, places are strictly limited.

📅 Taunton Ghost Walk Dates – 2026
• January: 15, 18
• February: 20, 21
• March: 13, 15

🕖 Walk Times
6 PM — Family Friendly (ages 8+)

Most people walk past the old pub on Waterbeer Street without a second glance. They shouldn’t.

Late at night, when the lamps dim and the street grows quiet, the building seems to watch those who pass. If you step inside and carry your drink upstairs, you’ll find a room that looks out over the road below. This is the very stretch of ground where screams once echoed and ropes went tight. Some say that if you stare long enough through the window, figures begin to move where none should be, drifting silently through the shadows, replaying their final moments.

Few know what lies beneath the floorboards. The cellar remains untouched by time, its stone walls once holding the condemned before they were led outside. The air down there is heavy, as if it remembers every breath taken in fear. Bar staff joke that the beer tastes stronger on certain nights but they never explain why.

Some locals whisper that the pub was never truly abandoned by its first keeper. And if you feel a presence behind you as you raise your glass… it might be best not to turn around.

Last orders anyone?

👻 Chippenham’s Ghost Walk 2026 Tickets On Sale Now. 🌙

Extours returns to Chippenham in 2026 with a limited run of dates for a night that locals still talk about long after it ends. This is not a theme-park ghost tour — it’s a deeply immersive walk through real history, real locations, and real unexplained encounters, led by experienced hosts who uncover what most tours never show you.

Chippenham’s past is steeped in superstition, tragedy and strange events that shaped the town in silence. Using original archive research, eyewitness accounts and historical records, we bring those stories back to life as we walk the streets after dark — standing in the very places where unexplained activity has been reported.

At several locations, you’ll take part in live paranormal investigations, using genuine equipment to explore what may still linger. Every walk is different. Nothing is scripted. What happens… happens.

🕯️ Why this walk sells out every year:
✔️ Small group sizes for a more intense, personal experience
✔️ Hands-on investigation — not just storytelling
✔️ Real history, not folklore padding
✔️ Two age-appropriate time slots
✔️ Limited dates — no added shows once sold out

📅 Chippenham — 2026 Dates

• February: 20

👻 Swindon — A New Experience Is Coming This Year

We’re excited to announce that Extours is bringing a brand-new Ghost Walk to Swindon this April!

Since launching in 2022, Extours has grown into one of the South West’s most respected and talked-about ghost walk companies — known for experiences that blend detailed historical research with genuine paranormal investigation. Swindon’s story of industry, expansion and rapid change makes it a compelling new location for our next walk.

Behind the familiar streets and modern identity lies a past shaped by loss, upheaval and moments that rarely feature in traditional local history. Our researchers have been working through records, accounts and overlooked sources to uncover stories that deserve to be told — and explored — where they happened.

On the walk itself, guests are guided through Swindon after dark, hearing researched stories at real locations. At selected stops, we pause to explore reported activity using authentic paranormal investigation equipment. Guests are welcome to observe or take part, creating an experience that feels immersive and personal.

Extours walks are intentionally thoughtful rather than theatrical, and this approach has earned consistently strong feedback from guests across the region.

With the Swindon Ghost Walk launching in April, places will be limited and early interest is expected to be high.
