Ghosts of York - The UK's Most Haunted City

Why is York officially declared the most haunted city in Europe? Tonight, you find out why.

The "Veil", an ancient magical barrier that keeps York’s restless dead at bay is fracturing. The city’s protector, Keeper Elspeth Crowe, has vanished into the mist, leaving behind only a trail of panicked scribbles and arcane sigils. The barrier is failing, and the spirits are getting bold.

You are the city's last line of defense.

Step into the shoes of a paranormal investigator and pick up Elspeth’s trail where she left off. Your journey will take you from the blood-stained stones of Clifford’s Tower to the phantom legions buried beneath the Treasurer's House. You will navigate the medieval snickelways, confront tragedies etched in stone, and race to seal the breach before the clock strikes twelve.

The history books tell you what happened. This quest tells you who is still lingering. Will you mend the Veil before the dead rise unbound, or will you become just another whisper in the walls of York?

La mission : Votre histoire à York, UK

The Veil of York
A once‑powerful barrier kept York’s countless ghosts quiet, but now fractures spread through its ancient magic. Restless spirits stir in shadowed streets as the Veil weakens. 

Its guardian, Keeper Elspeth Crowe, has mysteriously vanished, taking the only ritual capable of mending the breach. Your task is to follow her fading trail through York’s haunted corners, uncover forgotten stories, solve eerie clues, and restore the Veil before midnight or the dead will rise unbound.

some of the directions are not great. like saying if the pub is behind you then to the right is a lane. but if you have the black swan behind you and looking across the Rd the lane is on the left. other than that all was great. well worth the money x
