From your blood red seat aboard a Routemaster — a classic double-decker bus — pass by top historical attractions such as York Minster, Clifford’s Tower and the grave of the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin, hopping off occasionally to get acquainted with the sites of ghostly apparitions.Choose the evening or afternoon departure time that most suits your schedule, then make your own way to the prearranged meeting point in central York. Be greeted by a ghoulish bus conductor, then hop aboard the ghost bus — a black Routemaster with a rather dark backstory — and prepare yourself for a terrifying tour of York’s spookiest sights.
Settle into a seat on the dimly lit lower deck, or find a spot on the equally eerie top deck. Then, draw back the plush, velvet curtain and gaze out of the window as the bus sets off through the narrow, cobblestone streets.
Feel a chill run down your spine as the conductor recounts hair-raising tales of the city’s most prolific ghosts. With hundreds of recorded hauntings and the accolade of the supposed most haunted city in the world, the stories come thick and fast.
Hop on and off the bus at some of the most haunted buildings to learn more about the restless spirits that are said to still roam the halls. Be sure to keep your wits about you — you never know what you might see.
Hear gruesome tales from the capital’s dark history as you pass by some of the city’s most famous historical landmarks including Clifford’s Tower and York Minster. You’ll also see the grave of Dick Turpin, the notorious highwayman who, in the late 18th century, fled to Yorkshire to escape the law, only to find himself captured and then hanged in York.
After just over an hour, your tour concludes back at the original start point.
