Coastal Legends, Silent Alleys & Ghostly Echoes Beneath Dorset Stone

Wareham Ghost walk highlights:
Extours brings these stories to life with the Wareham Ghost Walk, an immersive journey through forgotten histories and local mysteries. Dorset itself is a county shaped by rugged shores, medieval settlements and generations of strange accounts passed from storyteller to storyteller. The walk blends these elements together through evocative narrative, local history and gentle paranormal 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
Guided through Wareham’s old streets, guests encounter tales tied to ancient buildings, long-lost travellers, unsettled histories and curious happenings preserved in the town’s memory. Subtle investigative techniques — never overbearing — offer an optional way to engage with the atmosphere and explore the stories in new ways.

Participants are free to take part in the paranormal elements if they wish, or simply listen and absorb the stories as they unfold. There are no jump scares, only curiosity, atmosphere and the sense of stepping quietly into Dorset’s deeper past.
