Haunted York - The York Arms, Low Petergate

A sprightly spook has scared many a guest in the gent's toilet here by suddenly appearing and disappearing, her identity is unknown but it has been suggested that she may be the same ghost that haunts the Theatre Royal nearby. On one occasion a former landlord became so frustrated by the ghost that he threw a loaded paint brush at it, the assault produced no effect but left a paint smear on the wall! There is also a poltergeist that annoyingly locks doors, throws cutlery and kitchen equipment around, and generally makes a nuisance of itself.
