Haunted Manchester: The Pusher Canal Murder Mystery Walk

A serial killer stalks Manchester's canals. A ghost named Loky needs your help to stop him. In this self-guided mystery walk, a chain letter pulls you into a supernatural hunt through the city's darkest corners, where real crime meets a chilling ghost story.

Follow coded clues past Albert Hall, through Marron Place and its grim crime record, and down to the canal towpath where Loky met his end. Each puzzle brings you closer to The Pusher, and further from safety.

The route passes the Peterloo massacre site, the haunted Palace Theatre, the self-playing piano of the Royal Exchange, and the Devil's footprint at Chetham's Library. Real ghost sightings and unsolved canal deaths fuel every stop.

With 13 stops across just over an hour through central Manchester, this is the city's most atmospheric ghost walk, best played after dark when the canals are quiet.
