In this episode we visit York, a city founded by the Romans in the Northeast of England. Join as we hear about Dick Turpin, the famous highway man, one of the many executed in this city. We move through the historic city centre, the epicentre of death, past the Blue Boar Inn, to visit Clifford's Tower, the site of a tragic massacre, through the famous Shambles (inspiration for Diagon Alley), past the Golden Fleece pub, to Berdern, a quiet corner of York with a horrifying past. We discuss the variety of ghosts we are confronted with and how the style of delivery of the tale by the tour guide is influenced by the historical context of events. We also discuss the role of media in sculpting the genre and cultural imagination where the spooky is concerned, and how the resulting expectations shape our experience of the ghost tour.
