Well my Sister & Niece decided to get involved in organising ghost evenings and as it was their first event last weekend at the York Castle Museum I decided to go along and see what is was all about

The event was held behind closed doors between 6.00pm until midnight.

First off we were shown around the museum with all the lights on.

It was an interesting museum which is set up with all Victorian shop fronts and street scenes.
After our tour round, some light refreshments the lights were turned off and away we went to see if this place was as haunted as reported

First visit was into the street where I went on my own and sat in the building with the black door on the left in this picture.

I sat in total darkness waiting for something to happen......nothing did but plenty seemed to be outside........part of the group had picked up on a small child playing with a hoop in the street and was quite playful when asked to move in and out of where they had pointed thermometers.......I managed to move to the door of the building but didn't witness anything

We then moved down to the cells that formed the original building.

We sat in the cell that Dick Turpin was reported to have been held in and called out to ask if any spirits were with us (I didn't say anything I was only overseeing things)......there was a long bang from down the corridor but when asked to do it again nothing happened.

We then moved further in to the cells and again asked if any spirit persons were present.......a very noticeable scratching was heard on one of the cell walls

asked again if that was a spirit person the same happened.

It was at this stage I decided to go and sit in front of one of the cells on my own in total darkness and see if anything happened......nothing did.

So at the end of the evening and after several members reporting having had ghostly contacts/sightings, the only frightening thing for me was when someone turned out the toilet lights and I peed on my foot........thoroughly enjoyed the adventure though

So anyone had a ghostly experience?
