Haunted Downtown York Ghost Tours ~ Fall 2025

It's spooky season! Love ghosts that love disco? How about a forever-cleaning lady with a vacuum? Maybe a ghost who had a pet squirrel in her lifetime? York has some truly unque spirts and they'd love to have you stop by and hear their stories.

Guests will travel by foot from the White Rose to allegedly haunted locations around downtown. Stories span from Native origins into more modern times, including ghosts, poltergeists, fortune tellers, witches, and cryptids. There are about 12 stops on the tour, and several allow for seating to rest. Guests will hear approximately 20 stories and legends.

Fall dates and special programs:

Sept 28, 2pm - ASL Tour in daytime; all guests welcome! ASL interpreter is Sunny Rominski

Sept 28, 7pm - Ghost Hunters Night! Back by popular demand, join local paranormal investigator Jess Unger for a hands-on evening with specialized equipment. This is the ONLY one of these this fall.

Oct 12 & 26, 7pm - Regular ghost tours

Oct 30, 7pm - A few extra spooky stories for Mischief Night
