About This Event

A guided October Spooky Walk will run at Chetham's Library in Manchester on 13 October 2026. The tour covers deaths, corpses, burials, and dissections based on the lives of real Mancunians. It examines how people in the 18th and 19th centuries reacted to death and respected the dead.

Join us on this guided walk to hear about deaths, corpses, burials and dissections, all based on the lives of real Mancunians in history.

This guided history tour in Manchester features stories of deaths, and particularly corpses, in the city’s past, and highlights the lives of the real people involved.

We will look at how Mancunians of the 18th and 19th Centuries reacted to death and respected (or not) the dead. Hear stories of burials and graveyards, dissections and an Anatomy school, how the dead could be punished, and a desecrating act that caused a riot.
