Spirited Spots on The Best Ghost Tour in York
The Shambles
The Shambles is a street famous for its stirring history and is equally popular for the ghost that haunts it. This street was previously a place for butchers and meat on the tables. The corner of the pathway is what we’ve come to visit. There stood a church named St Crux. The church has some horrifying stories linked to it which are still alive. People have seen a man at the window of St Crux and a woman following the York waits. What if we tell you that a policeman heard strange music emerging from the church at night? You’ll be scared, right? Let the mysteries unfold on this ghost walk in York.
The Golden Fleece
We are too excited to lead you to the most haunted pub in York. It was established in York back in the 16th century. While having the tastiest food and sipping drinks, you will have a great time. But it is scary to know that countless ghosts haunt the Golden Fleece. So, the chances of witnessing one are high. The Spirit of a Canadian pilot from the second world war who died due to a bad fall from the window still haunts the pub. You might also witness the presence of the spirit of a boy killed by a horse. Or the ghost of a thief might come your way on this tour. Wait till we reveal more about ghosts and their backstories on this York ghost walk.
The Roman Bath Pub
Apart from having great beers and yummy food, Roman Bath Pub provides you an insight into the remnants of the roman bath. You can visit the roman bath just downstairs from the pub after paying a fee. The spookiness blends in the air as you go downstairs near the bath area. Are you ready to witness all those mysterious footsteps and the sound of splashing water? Well, that is what you’ve come for, right? The pub’s landlord has even felt a supernatural presence at night. After this incident, he discontinued being the innkeeper. So you see, the spirit is for real. Let’s witness the horrors of the pub on this ghost trail in York.
The Punchbowl
Next, we will move on to Punchbowl, a perfect destination to enjoy some excellent ales and tasty food with authentic British hospitality. But a low-ceiling pub with those dark aesthetics might feel ghostly as you enter. More, if the place has had a dark past like the Punchbowl. You might see a mysteriously flashy light with a flowy head in the pub’s back room, or the sound of footsteps descending the stairs might scare you. People believe both of these are the spirit of the pub’s landlord. People hear a little girl’s ghostly footsteps near the stairs who had a choking death during her escape from a customer. We’ll dig deeper into paranormal details on this York ghost tour.

The Kings Manor
The King’s Manor has seen several centuries and has had a Royal past. It was initially an abode to St Mary’s Abbey and eventually held the Great Council of the North. The King’s Manor has also served as a headquarters for King Charles. With all the history wrapped around the King’s Manor, the presence of supernatural traces are inevitable. King Henry’s wife Catherine haunts the Manor. You might witness Catherine’s spirit here just like a maid did. She saw her approaching in a green dress with roses in her hand. Visitors or people, in general, hear the sob of wounded men from the times of the Civil War. Let’s know more about the ghostly encounters on this ghost walk in York.
York Minster
A beautiful cathedral with gothic architecture describes the York Minster well. But it’s not the architecture that has brought you here but the paranormal story associated with it. While on a trip to the York Minster, a woman saw her brother’s spirit in naval uniform who had died on the sea the same day. She further explained that they promised each other to get in touch after either she or her brother died. Eventually, she came to know that her brother had lost his life at the same time when she saw him at the Minster. Did this shock you enough? We were shocked too. Unfold the layers of this supernatural happening on this ghost walk in York.
The Treasurers House
The treasurer’s house was home to the treasurers who looked after the financial affairs of the Minster. With the turn of centuries, when the treasurers became outdated, this house became an abode to various Chief Bishops. Other than that, it has been home to numerous ghost stories too. While working on some repairs in the basement of the house, the plumber heard the sound of heavy footsteps. On taking a closer look, he realized that the footsteps were of the soldiers. But he could see the soldiers above the knees, not their whole bodies. He was too scared to react. How would you react to this sight? Let’s explore that on this ghost trail in York.
St Williams College
College Street is the one that holds the famous St William’s College. It is a building from the medieval period. From being a mere Printing press for the royals to apartments and even private residence, this building has had its fair share of transition. A little girl who died of famine during the Great Plague of 1604 haunts the building. Isn’t it scary that families who have lived here experienced wailing and footsteps around the house? Well, let’s find out more about the ghost of this little girl and her life story on this York ghost tour.

It’s Thomas Percy’s ghost who was sentenced to death for disloyalty. Also, the ghost of a mother in search of her child, who died due to the plague, adds to the spookiness of the church. We’ll unmask the haunted stories that make the church a tourist destination. So, get along and let your body feel that spooky thrill on this York ghost walk.
