Happy New Year from Yorkshire Ghost Tours!

Spindleshanks McScrew: Otley Ghost Tour

As we venture into 2026, we want to take a minute to thank everyone who has been part of our 2025. It’s been a helluva year! We’ve seen the setting up of 2 new ghost tours: the Skipton Ghost Tour and the Leeds Ghost Tour, and with them we’ve introduced 2 new fantastic character guides - The Butcher and Lord Bartholomew Catch.

We’ve also been involved with more than a few collaborations this year:

• The Bell Witch Podcast, with whom we continue to tell a fresh ghost story every month on their podcast

• BBC Sounds and Radio Leeds: tellings of Yorkshire’s ghoulish history on the Hidden West Yorkshire segment

• Leeds Festival of Gothicka: we tried our hand at stall-holding and quite liked it… we’ll be back ;)

• Otley Victorian Fayre: another stall held as Otley transformed to its true Dickensian nature

• Freya Gustafson: Who draws our beautiful poster art

• Caitlin Walsh: Our Leeds Ghost Tour photographer

• Boom Leeds, The Junction Otley and The Horse and Farrier Otley: Ghost story reading evenings for spooky season

And more!

We have also had 32 private party bookings including corporate events, birthday parties, hen dos and running clubs! It’s been a blast.

We want to say a big thank you to each and every one of you who has joined onto one of our tours or has been part of our 2025. It’s been a fabulous year and one we will always look back on with pride as the year our little ghost tour company turned into something of a medium sized one!

We hope 2026 will be just as exciting!

Much love,

The Yorkshire Ghost Tours crew x
