Shambles Ghost Walk

Scared Out of My Pants

It’s funny because York stays busy at night because of the many ghost hunts, walks, and tours around the old city. We chose to do the shambles ghost walk because we knew those buildings were the oldest in the city. Our ghost walk guide was a funny guy. He cracked more jokes than scary stories. He told us a story about a young girl that was locked in her home to die by her parents because she had been infected with the Black Plague. It was really sad because he said that one was a true story. The other stories were of murdered children that were put into meat pies, and haunting ghosts of Roman warriors. York is an old, eerie city that has a past so a lot of us were scared just roaming the shambles late at night.
