Paranormal-themed Yorkshire tours
The phantasmagorical heritage of the Yorkshire coast and North York Moors National Park is the focus of a new series of paranormal- themed visits and tours – the Tour de Phantome. A team of researchers has been seeking out the spookiest stories in the county to create a new online resource. The site highlights what are reputedly the most-haunted venues from Whitby to Pickering, with suggested routes on foot, bicycle, horseback and even steam train. Welcome to Yorkshire area
director Janet Deacon said: “If you are looking for a spiritual adventure, then the autumn months – once the throngs of summer tourists have gone, and the fields have been harvested – are one of the best times to explore
the other-worldly side of the North York Moors and Yorkshire coast. “An incredible array of folklore enables you to walk in the footsteps of saints and sinners,
and discover for yourself the truth in the myriad stories of witches, hobgoblins, sprites and spirits that are anchored in local legend.”
