The Shadows of the Walls
As the sun sets over the River Dee, the ancient city of Chester transforms. Beneath the world-famous Rows and along the Roman walls, stories of the past refuse to stay buried. This Chester ghost walk isn't just a history lesson — it's an atmospheric immersion into the paranormal legends that have earned Chester its reputation as a global hotspot for the unexplained.
Follow your expert guide into the "Dead Centre" of the city. Hear the chilling accounts of the Watergate Street poltergeists, explore the site of the Great Plague pits, and stand where Roman legionnaires are still reportedly seen marching on moonless nights. Chester has been continuously occupied for 2,000 years — and not everyone who lived here has entirely left.
The Shadows of Deva ghost tour is the most atmospheric and historically grounded ghost walk in Chester, led by a specialist in paranormal folklore and Roman history. Running nightly regardless of weather, it is consistently one of the highest-rated evening experiences in the city — and one of the best things to do in Chester after dark.
