The York Festival of Ghosts

When: October 22 to 31
Where: York, England
Cost: Mostly free

York might be famed for its historic centre, but it is also associated with metaphysical occurrences and ghostly goings-ons. York Ghost Festival invites courageous souls to engage with the ‘other side’ as it delves into the city’s supernatural past.

The festival includes ghost walks, seances and psychic nights to intrigue believers, sceptics and the undecided.

Along with paranormal investigations, the events provide an opportunity for serious debate on the existence of unknown forces and offer an authentically eerie way to spend Halloween.

Fly to Leeds (33km from York) with Ryanair.
