Munich After Dark: Ghosts & Mirrors

Munich Ghost Tour – A Different Kind of Fear

This isn’t just a ghost tour. It’s a journey into the stories we tell when the lights go out — and the stories that tell us something about ourselves.

Led by Conny, a theatre and film scholar, this tour stands apart because it doesn’t just recount spooky tales. It asks: Why do these stories haunt us? What do they reveal about our fears, our history, and our society?

From the devil’s footprint in the Frauenkirche to the witch trials of St. Michael’s Church, from the legend of the “Schiache Luz” to the cursed merchant of Maxtor — each stop is a mirror. A distorted one, yes, but one that reflects our collective anxieties: death, guilt, power, and the things we’d rather not name.

Horror has always been more than entertainment. These stories aren’t about ghosts. They’re about us.

Behind the familiar streets and grand buildings are stories of ghosts, witches, devils, death and things that were never meant to be spoken of.

And because even the bravest Night Wanderer may need a little courage, you’ll receive a Kirschgeist shot along the way. During the winter months, we’ll add a warming Glühwein to the experience.

The tour ends at Sendlinger Tor. If you want to keep the evening going, you’re welcome to join Conny afterwards for a drink at a local bar nearby.
