The business follows the traditions imposed by The Sorrowful Guild of Master Ghost Makers. They adhere to traditional values and methods, their ghosts are always made by hand and the techniques that we use ensure that each York Ghost is a true original, complete with an embossed maker’s mark.
York Ghosts are individually packaged in exquisite travelling boxes featuring a hand drawn Ghost Merchants shop, to make the ghost feel at home on its journey from the Shambles to far away places. The Original York Ghost is wrapped in an 1852 map of York, and our Little York Ghost comes in the “Boo” box with oval gilt edged viewing aperture.
An adorable shop nestled in the heart of the Shambles, this small spooky place is packed full of beautiful ghosts and hidden things to find
The shop gets extremely busy with wait times on weekends often being around 2 hours.
