Description
York's reputation as one of the world's most haunted cities is well-deserved. With over 500 reported spirits, it's the perfect destination for those seeking to uncover evidence of the paranormal. Five investigators from Newcastle embark on a year-long quest to investigate ten of York's most active venues, in search of answers to an age-old question: do ghosts actually exist? Their journey takes them to some of the city's most unsettling locations, including a premier tourist attraction where they encounter a very unwelcoming phantom, and a top museum where an angry ghost dwells in a toilet. Along the way, they meet the tragic shade of a young girl who speaks to them at the former site of York's gallows, where many hundreds were executed, including the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin. Illustrated with over 60 photographs, this book provides a comprehensive guide to the scariest city on earth.
