The Gravedigger Ghost Bus

Step aboard the Gravedigger Evening Tour for a thrilling journey into the dark and haunted heart of medieval Dublin. This immersive experience combines history, horror, and humor, all brought to life by professional actors aboard a custom-designed double-decker storytelling bus. Departing from the historic Trinity College, the tour plunges you into the shadowy world of Dublin over 600 years ago—a time when the city was ravaged by plague, fear, and superstition.

Your eerie guide, a character all too familiar with the horrors of the plague, welcomes you into his world of whispers and secrets. Listen closely—despite his occasional cough—as he recounts tales of the old Augustinian Priory and the infamous plague house, where death once lingered on every corner. Discover how desperate victims sought relief by bathing their wounds in the city’s drinking water, unknowingly spreading the disease further.

Learn of the desperate attempts by city leaders, including the mayor, to contain the unstoppable spread, and hear the chilling fates of those who were shunned, quarantined, or met ends far more terrifying than death itself. Many believed the plague signaled the end of days, yet Dublin’s grim history continued to unfold, layer by layer, through centuries of misfortune, mystery, and myth.

As the bus winds through the city’s dimly lit streets, your guide conjures long-forgotten legends, ghostly apparitions, and bizarre happenings that shaped Dublin's darker past. Through dramatic storytelling, live poetry, and hauntingly beautiful songs, this is more than a tour—it’s a theatrical experience unlike any other.

This is no ordinary bus ride. This is a journey into the soul of Dublin’s most terrifying tales—an evening of fright, laughter, and unforgettable memories. If you dare, join us, and see the city as you’ve never seen it before. One ride, and you’ll never look at Dublin the same way again.
