Book a Redruth Ghost Walk where Cornwall’s mining past stirs after dark
Redruth is a town shaped by industry, resilience and stories buried deep in the earth beneath it. Once a powerhouse of Cornish mining, its engine houses, narrow lanes and historic terraces now stand as atmospheric reminders of centuries of life, labour and legend.
Redruth Ghost Walks highlights:
When the sun sets over the rooftops and the last light fades from Carn Brea, Redruth becomes a place where the past feels unusually close — a perfect setting for an evening of ghostly exploration.
This isn’t just a guided walk, it’s a chance to become part of the mystery. Guests are invited to use authentic ghost-hunting equipment, including:
- EMF meters to detect electromagnetic anomalies
- Dowsing rods to trace unseen energies
- Spirit communication tools used in real investigations
Drawing on local memory and generations of folklore, the walk blends storytelling with a touch of gentle paranormal investigation, creating an experience rooted firmly in Cornish heritage. Streets that seem ordinary by day reveal a different character at night, carrying the echoes of old whispers and the weight of forgotten stories.
