Step into the shadowy side of Seoul on a richly narrated journey that brings centuries of ghostlore, ancient beliefs, and eerie legends to life. This immersive storytelling experience guides you through dim alleys, palace grounds, and historic locations where tales of hauntings have lingered for generations. Your folklorist guide shares chilling accounts passed down through oral tradition and written records, painting a vivid picture of how Koreans understood spirits, omens, and the unseen world. As you move from place to place, you will hear lingering whispers of haunted houses, cursed walls, restless palace ghosts, vengeful spirits, and strange beings said to roam the city after dark. The atmosphere deepens as clairvoyants have claimed that spectral visitors sometimes join the group, adding an uncanny dimension to the night. The extended version of the tour goes even deeper into the mysteries of the city, wandering through sites connected with unsettled souls, tragic stories, and uncanny events tied to early hotels, ancient gates, and unsettling urban myths. Hidden lore emerges through tales of eerie dreams, unlucky encounters, and strange creatures that were once said to dwell beneath feet or lurk in shadowy corners. As your storyteller unravels each legend, the city transforms into a living map of supernatural history, blending cultural insight with the thrill of suspense. Guests can also choose to purchase unique keepsakes such as a comic book based on Korean folklore or themed collectibles, offering a memorable way to take a piece of the dark tales home.
