We've all read chronicles and textbooks about Lithuanian history and visited famous cultural places. We've also seen a lot of horror movies, and as kids, we'd tell each other terrifying stories at night. What if all of this was in a single spot? We encourage you to immerse yourself in the ghost stories of Kaunas, where you will learn many interesting facts, get new historical knowledge, and participate in intriguing excursions. Don't you believe in ghosts? In vain! Allow us to show you where you've walked by them multiple times!

The tour of Kaunas Old Town will include anecdotes about brutal penalties, vandalized city signs, bloody confrontations between Catholics and Lutherans, hooliganism, and plunder of the city's money.

Rumours of chains jingling in Kaunas Castle's dungeons are just one of Kaunas Old Town's weird stories. Other eerie stories remain concealed under the veil of history and night. During the walk, you will discover where the great smuggler of Kaunas lived, learn about unknown witch hunts, and many more terrifying urban tales.
