About this activity

Dark Tales is far more than your average ghost walk!

Enjoy this entertaining, spine-tingling walking tour with a costumed guide. Explore the picturesque seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire and learn about the town's darker side.

Black Widow's Dark Tales is a well-researched history of local murders, crime, and hauntings. There are no gimmicks or jump scares.

Visit the oldest still-standing building in town, the seafront, infamous smuggling spots, historic Bar Street, a very haunted hotel, and more. From June to August, enjoy a ride on the famous Central Tramway (included).

The tour is mobility and pet-friendly.

Guide age 10+ at parental discretion.

The tour requires a minimum of 2 persons to operate; if the minimum is not met, we reserve the right to cancel.
