The Ghost Bus Tours York

This haunted tour of York begins at York Station, where the restless spirits of a Roman burial site linger deep beneath the foundations of the Milner York Hotel. The journey moves toward York Minster, exploring the “Whistling Sailor” of the 1820s and the legendary cats bricked into its ancient pillars. Nearby, at the Treasurer’s House, Roman legions are said to still march through the cellar’s original road. The route continues through the shadows of The Shambles, passing the Golden Fleece, home to no fewer than fifteen specters, including the furniture moving Lady Alice Peckett. After navigating the narrow “snickelways” like Mad Alice Lane, the tour reaches the “Bleeding Walls” of Clifford’s Tower, where the tragic mass suicide of 1190 is whispered to leave permanent red stains on the stone. Finally, the journey visits the grave of the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin before crossing toward the Guy Fawkes Inn, the birthplace of Britain’s most infamous plotter. The tour concludes back at the station, overlooking a city that archaeologists claim holds the remains of over 600,000 souls beneath its historic streets.
