Seoul Ghost Walk: Dark History & Folklore After Dark
About This Tour
This is the side of Seoul you won't find in a tourism brochure. The walk moves through dark alleys tied to 600 years of massacres, seedy hideaways, and restless spirits. Self-proclaimed clairvoyants who've joined in the past have reported a few sightings of their own, including a little girl who seems to follow the group.
It's a walk through Seoul's murkier, more violent history, the kind that makes the city feel a lot more layered once you know it. This is not cheap jump scares and made up ghost stories. This is an exploration of Korean folklore and dark history meant to enlighten and see the city in a different way, with a little touch of spookiness.
Content is rated PG-13, with some stories touching on sex and violence. Parents and sensitive listeners, take note.
Starting points: "The Original Ghostwalk" at Anguk Station, exit 2. "Ghostlore & Legends" at Seodaemun Station, exit 4.
✅Solo-friendly | ✅Female traveler-friendly | ✅LGBTQ+ friendly.
