Andrew Ross – Tour Guide & Ghost Whisperer, Walking with the Ghosts of Durham
Andrew works on the streets of Durham as an independent tour guide. He takes visitors on guided tours around the city of Durham, with a passion for Durham and a dedication to sharing the county’s rich heritage.
The ‘Ghost Whisperer of Durham’, Andrew has only been bringing his unique ghost walks to County Durham’s night time economy for around two years, but has already attracted rave reviews from those who join him.
Born out of his own knowledge and experience of the area, Andrew’s ghost walks bring to life the often grizzly history of the area as well as a number of its famous - and infamous - legends. Far from sticking to the city centre, Andrew’s tours take in the entirety of the county - celebrating and ensuring the history of an often misunderstood part of the country is heard.
Andrew is fully independent, very much a one man band. He has built his business up from the ground. Visitors to the county, as well as locals are impressed by Andrew's knowledge of the area as well as his ability to bring the stories to life with his personality and passion.
Selflessly promoting other local, independent businesses where he can - including across social media and on his ghost walks - Andrew is a fiercely proud advocate of all things Durham. Andrew goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure anyone can join him on his ghost walks, tailoring the route and tours to those who may need additional accessibility needs, making sure that no one is excluded and that all visitors to Durham get a visit to remember.
