Yorkshire Museum Library, York

The Yorkshire Museum Library in York has been home to a rather curious ghostly presence. For several weeks in 1954, a particular book would be found on the floor every Sunday evening. It was as if someone had been searching through the shelves and accidentally dropped the book, but when the library staff looked around, there was no one to be seen. That was until a caretaker reported seeing a ghostly old man browsing through the shelves, looking for something to read.

Dean Court Hotel, York

The Dean Court Hotel in York is home to a rather unusual resident - a phantom Roman soldier. This ghostly figure is said to roam the hotel's corridors, and if you're staying in one of the rooms, you might even catch a glimpse of him in the bathroom mirror. It's not clear when these sightings first began, but the hotel's long history dating back to the 18th century provides plenty of opportunities for a spirit to make its presence known. Imagine settling in for a night's sleep, only to see a Roman soldier strolling past your bed - it's a pretty surreal experience, to say the least.

St Ann's Church, Lydgate

Deep in the Yorkshire countryside, St Ann's Church in Lydgate stands as a testament to the region's rich history. It's here that a chilling image was captured by a freelance photographer in November 2009. While exploring the churchyard, he snapped a photo of a misty woman kneeling by a gravestone. The eerie image has left many questions unanswered, but one thing is certain - the photograph appears to show a ghostly figure in a moment of sorrow or contemplation.

St Crux church, York

St Crux church in York's famous Shambles area has a long history of paranormal activity. One of the most intriguing incidents occurred when an on-duty policeman passing the church late at night heard funeral music playing within the building. As he approached to investigate, the doors of the building opened and the sound of people leaving could be heard, but nothing could be seen. This eerie event was just one of several reported hauntings at the church, which has been a site of interest for paranormal enthusiasts for many years.

St Crux and King's Square area, York

In the heart of York, where the medieval streets come alive at dusk, there's a haunting that's music to the ears. The St Crux and King's Square area, once home to the Waits of York, a group of men who played music as they travelled through the town, acting as watchmen and calling out the time, is said to be visited by a female ghost. She would appear at St Crux, travel through King's Square, and vanish at Goodramgate, her ethereal presence drawn to the tunes of the Waits.

Tempest Anderson Hall, York

Deep in the heart of York's Museum Gardens, a strange and unsettling sighting took place in the mid-1960s. Tempest Anderson Hall, a beautiful and historic building, was home to a phantom man dressed in Victorian attire. One witness reported seeing the ghostly figure reaching up to take a book from a shelf near the stage. The apparition's sudden turn revealed a shocking sight - its face was completely featureless. Understandably, the witness made a swift exit, leaving behind only a vivid account of the haunting.
