Ghost Walk Utrecht with Storyteller

This year in October and November: StoryTrail Ghost Walk Utrecht
Meet Utrecht’s nocturnal phantoms with storyteller Bastiaan de Zwitser

Utrecht by night is haunted. A history full of sinister events has shaped this city into a ghostly place. There is no better way to experience this than a ghost tour. So join storyteller Bastiaan de Zwitser on one of his famous StoryTrail Ghost Walks through Utrecht, from 31st October till 30th November.

Bastiaan will guide you through dark alleys and along murky waters. There he will tell you the most frighting (and fun) ghost stories of the old city. You will meet gloomy spooks, wandering phantoms, creepy dogs from hell and even the Devil himself.

But do not worry: Bastiaan will be there to guard you. Those city ghosts won’t do you any harm. Unless they will, of course. During a walk like this, you can never be sure…

The StoryTrail Ghost Walk Utrecht starts at 9 PM sharp on Thursday 31 October, Friday 1 November, Saturday 9 November, Saturday 16 November, Saturday 23 November and Saturday 30 November 2024.

Storyteller Bastiaan de Zwitser will be waiting for you at the agreed location, in the heart of Utrecht. From a distance, he might be a little hard to spot in the dark evening. But you really can’t miss him: he’s the man in the black cape and black hat, with a mysterious look in his eyes.

Bastiaan loves the dark. While most people see less as dusk falls, he sees more. That’s why the StoryTrail Ghost Walk Utrecht is best experienced after sunset.

During the day, you’ll hardly encounter any ghosts in Utrecht. But come evening and night, it’s a completely different story. That’s when the shadows take over the city. With Bastiaan by your side, you’re guaranteed to meet them. They’ll grip you by the throat and pull you into their blood-curdling, gruesome stories.

This is not a walk for the faint of heart. These ghosts have been through a lot. And they have a lot on their conscience. That’s why they find no peace, wandering endlessly through the city, in vain search of redemption.

On the StoryTrail Ghost Walk Utrecht, you’ll experience what these spirits endured. For example, in one of the city’s darkest alleys, centuries ago, a brutal murder was committed—by a killer who is said to still haunt that very alley.

Join us and enjoy the most thrilling ghost stories in Utrecht.

But honestly, that murder is just the beginning. You’re going to face much more terrifying things on the StoryTrail Ghost Walk Utrecht. Luckily, Bastiaan will be there. While he may look a little ominous himself, and he can serve up those old horrors in the most spine-chilling way, he also knows better than anyone how to handle those restless spirits. And how to keep them somewhat under control.

So don’t be afraid—come to the Domstad and dive into its dark history with Bastiaan de Zwitser. This will be an adventure that will haunt you for a long time to come.
