  With a rumoured 140 ghosts within its city walls, York is one of the most densely haunted cities in England and it is just the type of city people would expect to be haunted. The centuries-old Minster, Bootha Bar and Mickelgate Bar tower over narrow streets lined by shops and homes no less old. Between the houses twist and writhe narrower walkways where the sunlight rarely penetrates. Grotesque oddities such as the Red Devil that leers down into the Coffee Yard off Stonegate seems to emphasize the mystic atmosphere of York. It is in these ancient streets and pathways that the ghosts of York interpose in the world of the living.
