The Scarborough Ghost Walk

The Scarborough Ghost Walk is back on Saturday 31 October, starting at Anne Brontë's grave on Castle Road. It's a guided walk through the town's shadowy streets, with the guide unpicking Scarborough's haunted past through a series of eerie tales. The route takes in the history of Scarborough Castle, Anne Brontë's grave and St Mary's Church, before looking out to sea in search of the ghost of something that existed more than 150 years ago.

From there, it follows a steep, cobbled hill to a staircase with a funny name but a very dark secret, then on to uncover the secrets of Quay Street and Foreshore Road, with stories of other haunted buildings and sights along the way, including the tragic tale of the Pink Lady. It ends on Foreshore Road with a tale of the castle that the guide dares not tell at the top of the hill, and of the most vicious ghost in Scarborough.

The walk is in-person, in a group of up to 40 people, and the route runs along cobbled streets with no stairs. It runs from 7 pm to 8:30 pm, with doors opening at 6:45 pm, and tickets are £16 per person, all taxes and fees included. The starting point is Anne Brontë's grave, 168 Castle Road, Scarborough YO11 1HY.
