Explore Industrial Echoes, Maritime Mysteries & Stories from Swansea’s Shadowed Streets with Extours

Swansea is a city with more history than meets the eye. Behind the bright waterfront and bustling centre lies a landscape shaped by centuries of industry, seafaring danger, folklore and curious events that have slipped quietly into legend. As dusk settles over the streets and the tide darkens along the harbour, Swansea reveals a side many never notice in daylight.

Swansea Ghost Tour highlights:

The Extours Swansea Ghost Walk invites guests to explore this hidden side of the city in a way that’s engaging, atmospheric and fun. This isn’t a fright‑fest — it’s a lively journey through Swansea’s past, guided by stories rooted in real research, local memory and historic accounts of the unexplained.

Led by an Extours host, guests wander through some of Swansea’s most characterful areas, hearing tales tied to the city’s industrial days, maritime misfortunes, unusual happenings and long‑standing legends whispered through generations. Every stop reveals something new — sometimes eerie, sometimes quirky, always intriguing.

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

Those seeking an extra layer of experience can choose to take part in optional paranormal investigation. EMF meters, dowsing rods and recognised detection tools are available for those who want to get hands‑on, though taking part is never required. Guests are just as welcome to simply enjoy the stories, soak up the atmosphere and let the city’s history do the rest.

Are under 16s allowed to join on the ghost walks?
