Come on a journey through the old medieval backstreets of Looe and out across the landscape, on the trail of ghost stories, strange goings on, witchcraft and peculiar history. From phantom carriages, grey ladies, malevolent monks and smuggler ghosts, Looe offers a chilling collection of paranormal tales, old and new.

With maps, vintage photographs, ancient archive documents and guides, Haunted Harbour offers in-sight as you tour both East and West Looe, in person or virtually. Included are haunting sites further afield, such as Kilminorth, with its ancient monument and wiccan spirits, Talland Bay and Lanreath, the site of terror in bygone days, the small village terrorised by ‘ball lightning’ and an angry black cockerel! Tales to amaze and chill the blood, informed by Looe folk, Cornish archives, heritage database, local history books, historic plans and antique maps.
