Haunted Heritage — October 2025

Step into the shadows this October as we celebrate 50 million steps into the unknown. Haunted Heritage brings Otago’s hidden and haunted secrets to life in a month of chilling tours and anniversary events.

All is not as it seems… dare to peek behind the veil and uncover the truth lurking in our haunted past. From hangings to holdups, poltergeists to graveyard walks, every step reveals another story time tried to bury.

Guiding you through it all is Andrew Smith – New Zealand’s original ghost guide and pioneer of dark tourism – who has spent decades walking these haunted streets. Let him lead the way into history’s most unsettling corners… if you’re brave enough to follow.
