What you can expect

⚠️ Warning: This is a history tour — not a ghost walk!
York’s Dark Side: A Walking Tour of Real Horrors, Twisted Legends & Paranormal Ponderings
Real History. Not Fairy Stories.

Forget the Hollywood vampires and bargain-bin ghost hunts — real horror doesn’t wear fangs and a cape. York’s past is drenched in blood, superstition, and stories so strange they have to be true, stories that would have Dracula running for the hills!

Join us for an evening of dark delights where you’ll:

Explore ghostly tales and decide for yourself what’s real, what’s legend, and what’s just plain weird and learn ho it all fits into the past.
Peek into the curious world of paranormal science, alchemy, and the inventions that made suffering worse.
Encounter ancient beasts, misunderstood monsters, and humans far scarier than anything supernatural.
Uncover the chilling truth behind persecution, plague, and a time when torture was just an early form of social media scrolling!

Are these eerie tales simply childhood spook stories — or were they used to control, punish, and persuade?
This isn’t your average haunted wander. It’s a twisted history lesson wrapped in myth, murder, and mystery — with just enough strange to keep you glancing over your shoulder.

️ Perfect for:

Curious minds
Brave souls
Sceptics, believers & history lovers
Anyone who enjoys a good yarn… preferably by lantern light.
️ Duration: 75–90 minutes of fascinatingly dark storytelling
Departure: On time (ghosts don’t do late)
☔ Weather: We walk in all of it. Bring a coat, or be historically accurate and suffer.
Dogs welcome – they tend to spot ghosts before you do.
Families welcome – parental discretion advised (you know your little goblins best)
⚠️ Attend at your own risk – we’re not liable for goosebumps, ghost sightings, or disturbing historical facts.

Book your tickets now — because York’s past isn’t just history. It’s a hauntingly good story.
