LOCATION
Why is New College Lane said to be haunted?
New College Lane, the narrow medieval passage in central Oxford beside New College, is threaded with ghost stories built on centuries of student life and war. Locals tell of flickering blue lights along the lane after dark, said to be the restless souls of plague victims buried nearby. Another legend traces to the English Civil War, when Prince Rupert is said to have mustered volunteers here for a raid on a Parliamentarian pay convoy; people passing at night have reported hearing clattering hooves and the clank of armour, which some link to a "stone tape" imprint of that night. The lane also carries one of Oxford's grimmer student tales, of a 15th-century New College undergraduate who met a ghastly end during a late-night visit to the toilets, and locals describe an ethereal choir sometimes heard drifting from the college on quiet evenings. Ghost tour guides still walk the lane regularly to retell these stories.
