The Ghost Hunt of York
About
The Ghost Hunt of York is a lively evening ghost walk that blends history, comedy and stage‑craft. Beginning at the bottom of The Shambles, the guide returns to Victorian garb and carries the crowd through the city’s most haunted streets, delivering well‑researched anecdotes infused with witty humour and practical jokes. The tour lasts 66 minutes, which is long enough to delve into key ghost stories yet short enough to keep the atmosphere lively. Designed to be enjoyed by families, parents and children alike, it provides an engaging, PG‑rated immersion into York’s spooky past—all delivered by a tour guide who doesn’t just read a script but turns the story into a theatrical experience. Guests consistently praise the tour’s energy, the guide’s affable personality, the historic backdrop of the medieval Shambles and the inexpensive price point. Whether you’re a history buff, a night‑time adventurer or simply looking for a memorable evening, this tour offers a unique blend of entertainment and heritage that’s hard to find elsewhere in the city.
