Is York Haunted?
I was extremely surprised to read that York is apparently the most haunted city in England, having 140 ghosts and 504 hauntings as I have never witnessed any sort of haunting. Some think that the reason for a lot of York’s paranormal activity is down to the Romans ancient burial ground. Possibly Yorks most well known ghost story comes from the Treasure’s house. A plumber called Harry Martindale was working in the cellar of the house, he heard a horn blowing from somewhere and then a Roman horse with a Legionnaire on its back came out of the wall in the Cellar! The Soldiers could only been seen from their knees upwards, Harry fled upstairs and the building curator said ‘You’ve seen the Roman soldiers, haven’t you?’. It turned out that there was a roman road 15 inches below the Cellar, the York Minster is also home to many ‘Hauntings’ and ghosts. Havinf been inside both yesterday I found the Minster more of a paranormal atmosphere due to its size and age.
