Overview
Uncover the haunted side of Seoul with local shamans.
Choose from two equally spine-tingling tours. The Sindang-dong Occult Tour guides you through haunted alleys with local shamans, revealing the ghost stories and exorcism practices hidden behind "Tteokbokki Town." Or, take the extended option to uncover even more — from the shadowy legends of Gwanghuimun Gate and eerie halls of Seodaemun Prison to sacred shamanic sites on Inwangsan Mountain. Whether you're drawn to folklore, history, or the supernatural, these tours offer an unfiltered look into Korea's haunted past.
Why this tour?
▲ Gwanghuimun & nearby Catholic persecution site
Once known as Seoul’s execution gate, Gwanghuimun carries a haunting past as the passage for sending corpses beyond the city walls. Surrounded by eerie legends, it remains one of Seoul’s most haunted sites, with locals sharing chilling tales of unexplained encounters. Nearby, learn about the history of Catholic persecution in Korea, particularly during the Korean War.
▲ Sindang-dong Shaman Street
Explore Seoul’s center of Korean shamanism, where fortune-tellers and shamans still carry out age-old rituals. This atmospheric street offers a glimpse into spiritual practices like exorcisms and protection spells, deeply rooted in Korean tradition.
▲ Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Street
Savor a meal on Seoul's famous Tteokbokki Street while discovering Korea's unique ghost-related food traditions. Tteokbokki, a popular dish here, is believed to ward off spirits, playing a role in exorcism rituals. Learn how food is used in Korea for spiritual purification.
▲ Seodaemun Prison History Hall
Step inside a former Japanese colonial prison steeped in sorrow and suspense. Once used to imprison and torture Korean independence activists, this site reveals a dark chapter of Korea's past — along with chilling ghost stories and unexplained phenomena that linger in its halls.
▲ Inwangsan Mountain
Hike through one of Seoul's most spiritual landscapes, where ancient rituals and ghost legends still echo. Visit Guksadang Shrine, a key site for shamanic ceremonies, and Seonbawi (Zen Rock), believed to grant wishes. This sacred mountain offers a powerful glimpse into Korea’s spiritual traditions.
