Highlights
- Prince Of Wales Pier - To make sure all minds are focused on the horrors to come, we gaze out across the harbour and hear a terrible story of desperation and disaster.
- High Street - A street that has played host to some of the grimmest moments in Falmouth’s history. Only one word is necessary to give you a flavour — cannibalism.
- Fish Strand Quay - On the historic quayside we look out on the harbour and imagine a local lad sailing out of it, many years ago. His tale is a desperate one, but not without some redemption.
- The Kings Falmouth - Here we hear a sordid tale of slavery and its ghostly legacy.
- Arwenack Street - We end by hearing the final tale: the story of our guide’s own gruesome end.

Additional Information
A spooky-yet-upbeat ghost tour that aims to clue you up and creep you out. As you walk through the streets you’ll hear stories to stir your emotions — some scary, some tragic, and some rather funny.
The stories are about visitors — the shipwrecked sailors, the cannibals, the lost adventurers — who passed through these streets. Along the way there’ll be musical accompaniment — a squeezebox to weave some atmosphere and give your imagination some help.

Great Fun, very entertaining! - We had a great time on the tour, Will is very entertaining, and it was fun learning a few facts about Falmouth and it’s spooky past! Will kept everyone captivated throughout the hour long tour, and played the euphonium so well! We felt like we were being led by the Pied Piper through the alleyways and streets!
A must do, bit of fun!

Fantastic - Will gave a great tour pitched with just the right mix of ghost stories and history. It was well worth the money. We will be doing his day tour next time we visit.

Enjoyable Ghost Tour - We went on the Horrors of Falmouth Ghost Tour which was an entertaining activity to do on a Wednesday evening. We really enjoyed the way Will told the stories, including some of the more funny tales of Falmouth's history. Will's playing of the melodeon also added to the memorable experience. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to do the history tour but we will definitely recommend Falmouth Uncovered to anyone visiting!

Fantastically spooky stories of Falmouth - Excellent tour about the darker side of Falmouth, with fantastic music and costume to match. Will is a great storyteller, and we will definitely be going on his history tour next time we are around the area. Great way to round off our trip! Many thanks!

Brilliant - Brilliant tour. Will was very knowledgeable, engaging and a great storyteller. He pitched the tour so well for our 8 year old son and the adults in the group. Would fully recommend.

Hauntingly fun - What fun! Walking through the alleys and old streets of Falmouth. Our host Will brought to life a wealthy host of spooky stories, murders and ghostly goings on. Thoroughly enjoyable and good value.

Great fun and informative tour - Well run and engaging. A little walk around the centre of town to various sites to hear stories of the deaths of locals. Would have liked more 'spooky' ghost stories, but bonus points for the guide dressing up and playing songs on his accordion!
