Folklore, myth and magick

Step beyond the veil and into the mystical world of death, legend, and lore on our Folklore, myth and magick tour - a special night-time experience like no other. Under the moonlit sky, we’ll journey through the real history behind centuries-old superstitions, ancient rituals, and eerie cemetery symbolism from cultures around the world.

By torch light, uncover the fascinating beliefs that shaped how societies honored the dead, protected the living, and explained the unknown, including:

• Día de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead)
• the ‘White’ & ‘Black’ Ladies of cemetery urban legend
• the folklore behind cemetery symbols and symbolism
• the Egyptian Book of the Dead
• Samhain, spells of protection and a mixed bag of myths.

This tour is the perfect way to explore the cemetery safely after dark - while uncovering the strange and spellbinding stories woven through its history.

All of our tours are not-for-profit, with all money raised going to our cemetery history and maintenance projects.
