Interested in the phenomenon of the supernatural? Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched or followed, but when you turned around no-one was there?

Re-live those terrifying sensations or experience them for the first time on a York Ghost Walk!

Meander on the ghost walk through the dark, haunted streets of York by night, hearing the tales of the past and luring the spirits of the dead to come out and play.

Make your way down dark, cobbled alleyways and hear the cries of a little girl who died after she was locked in her house with her dead family during the black plague.

During the ghost walk stand in a street hundreds of years old on a dark, foggy night and learn the story of Treasurer's House, which is now a restaurant.

The house, which is a main feature of the york ghost walk, is built on top of an ancient Roman road, which still lies 15 inches below the floor of the cellar.

There have been several sightings of a roman army walking this road, appearing to be on their knees because of the level of the old road they used to travel.
...
...
Witnesses say a horn has sounded before men on horses and on foot come trudging through the cellar looking dishevelled. They were dressed in rough green tunics and plumed helmets, carrying short swords and spears.

Are these York Ghost Walk tales already enough to send shivers down your spine?

How about the story of the Grey Lady who appears in the Georgian Theatre Royal, the Headless Earl who staggers around the graveyard in the dead of the night searching for his head, and the sounds of children laughing which turns into screams of terror?

There are a wide range of ghost walks in York that run through the ancient city on a regular basis. Flyers on the ghost walks can be found placed around the city, in hotels and at tourist information sites.

York ghost walks can cost anywhere between &8356;3 and &8356;10 per person, and are well worth checking out as they teach participants in a fun and interesting way the about some of the city's historical background.

So are you ready for a scare? On your next trip to York gather your wits about you and dare to take a York ghost walk!
