Ghost hunters, history lovers and thrill-seekers are being invited to explore the darker side of Wolverhampton and Bilston this Halloween season as Dark History UK brings two atmospheric ghost tours to the Black Country.

Led by paranormal storyteller Spooky Jo, the walking tours will uncover tales of murder, tragedy, mystery and the supernatural, revealing the hidden stories that linger beneath the streets of two of the region’s most historic towns.

The Bilston Ghost Tour takes place on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October, with visitors setting off from Bilston Town Hall to discover centuries of local history, folklore and unexplained events. Organisers promise an evening of dark tales, forgotten corners and stories that refuse to be forgotten.

The Wolverhampton City Ghost Tour follows from Thursday 29 October to Sunday 1 November. Starting outside Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, the tour will guide participants through the city centre after dark, exploring its shadowy past and sharing stories of restless spirits, tragic events and mysterious happenings.

Both tours last between 90 minutes and two hours, with family-friendly 4.30pm tours available for ages six and over, alongside later 8pm tours recommended for ages 10 and above. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Whether you're a believer in the paranormal, a sceptic intrigued by local legends or simply looking for an unusual night out, the tours offer a chance to see Wolverhampton and Bilston from a completely different perspective.
