About
Uncover the bloody history of crime in Wakefield, and the stories that have since been lost beneath the city streets in Murders of Wakefield – Wakefield Ghost Walk…
Led by The Curator, from the Wakefield Ghost Walk, comes this new second tour examining true historical murders, accidents and dark incidents around the city. This isn’t haunting, but true details in Wakefield’s bloody past.
Hear many different true crimes and find out if the perpetrators were found guilty or innocent. But as an added twist one story each night will remain yours as members of the jury to vote. Find out if you indeed matched the courts opinion too.
This is not a jump-scare tour — it’s an immersive, narrative-led experience rooted in real locations, original research, and traditional ghost lore.
What to Expect
• A guided walking tour of Wakefield city centre
