⚠️ NEW SCRIPT 5 STAR RATED (as of 29/09)
Not your average tour, a hauntingly great alternative to a ghost tour…
York’s dark past isn’t just history – it’s a killer story.
No Gimmicky ghost walk, just real facts _humans are the masters of fear!
Step off the beaten path and into a twisted tale of plague, paranoia, and punishment – where the real horrors don’t wear fangs or capes. This is no vampire fairytale. This is the bloody, bizarre, and bone-chilling truth behind England’s most haunted city.
What to expect:
Hear spine-tingling tales steeped in fact, folklore, and fear
Explore the weird world of alchemy, old-school science, and paranormal experiments
Meet humans far more terrifying than any ghost (and they were real)
Discover how dark legends were used to control, scare, and manipulate
Ask yourself: were these stories innocent myths – or medieval mind games?
History, horror & myth collide in this thought-provoking thrill ride through York’s shadowy side.
Tour Duration: 75–90 minutes
Departs on time – ghosts don’t wait
Who’s it for?
Curious minds & open eyes
Brave souls (or overconfident ones)
Sceptics, believers & lovers of the weird and wonderful
Family-friendly – but parental discretion advised (you know your little goblins best)
⚠️ Attend at your own risk. We don’t do jump scares – but history just might haunt you.
Book your tickets now — because York’s past isn’t just history. It’s a hauntingly good story.
