Boo(s), Bites & Bone-Chilling Tales: It's PETRIFIED PUB CRAWL Time Again!

They’re Baaaaack! 👻

Are you ready for a spine-tingling, pint-spilling, ghost-thrilling adventure through Victoria’s creepiest haunts? Good—because it’s Petrified Pub Crawl time again! Woo Hoo!

From Oct 1st to Nov 1st (Wed–Sat only), HIDDEN VICTORIA invites you on a 3-hour romp through haunted streets, stopping at 3 pubs where the spirits flow freely (and not just the liquid kind). With a drink purchase per venue, enjoy free appies all while your guide dishes out bone-chilling tales of Victoria’s most notorious ghosts… Ghosts like:

THE MAID WHO NEVER CHECKED OUT

Lizzie McGrath – The Empress Hotel’s chambermaid who took a tragic fall from the sixth floor in 1909, and has been roaming the hotel ever since, making her presence known with phantom knocks, or the eerie feeling that someone is still tidying up… whether you asked for it or not.

THE LANDLORD’S DEADLY KNOCK

Mike Powers – The Garrick’s Head landlord who opened his door on an early, cold October morning in 1899 only to meet a grisly, fate at the hands of one? Two? Murderers... who knows? Either way, some say his ghost still lingers by the pub’s fireplace, sipping pints and plotting revenge. Knock twice before entering… if you dare.

THE BEHEADED BEAUTY OF FAN TAN ALLEY

Yo Gum – A young prostitute in Chinatown, brutally beheaded by a jealous lover in 1899. Her spirit is said to drift through the narrow lanes of Fan Tan Alley—especially after dark. Step carefully… she might still be waiting for you just up ahead...

What’s in Your $45 Ticket:

  • A 3-hour guided ghost walk through Victoria’s haunted streets (and pubs!)

Fine Print from the Crypt:

(Please note we need a minimum of four guests to run a tour - if needed, we will reschedule or refund) All Ghost hunters must be 19 years or older, and carry 2 pieces of ID with them.
