York Ghost Festival

Ghostly Goings-on
If you're looking for something a little spookier this Halloween, then head for York, where there will be all manner of ghostly goings-on! The second annual York Ghost Festival includes ghost walks, talks and demonstrations, but for the ultimate scare you can get involved in an overnight paranormal investigation!

Organised by the York based company Psychic & Spectral Investigations, the York Ghost Festival 2005 is especially important, as the team will be leading a search for one of York's most infamous old boys - Guy Fawkes - on this, the 400th anniversary year of the Gunpowder Plot.

Other events include open forums for young people interested in the Pagan and Wiccan religions and the opportunity to see your own aura!

The festivals runs from Friday 28th October to Saturday
