The museum is reputedly one of the most haunted sites in Peterborough, with many ghosts said to be lurking around the building.

This tour sets out to uncover some of their stories. The tour is led by a costumed guide, who shows visitors around the building by candlelight, explaining the various paranormal happenings at the sites where they have taken place, including the back stairs, where people have reported a ghostly servant falling to her death, a phantom girl seen and heard in recent months, the story of the museum’s most notorious ghost, the ‘Lonely ANZAC’ Thomas Hunter.

Due to limited places, tickets are strictly pre-booked only. Tours last about 90 minutes. The tour is not recommended for under 14s or those of a nervous disposition, and due to the nature of the building is unsuitable for those with mobility impairments.
