'The lawn is pressed by unseen feet and ghosts return...' ~ T. S. Eliot

Nestled within Olde Yorke, 'tis whispered that sixty translucent folk and creatures patiently await and that you have until the second day of November by which to make their acquaintance.

Seek and see!

I. 'GHOST Maybe disappearing from the world is the only way to be seen' ~ Anonymepoet21

Alas, a stroll through the stone arches of old bridges in the ancient City of York, and along the cobbles of a riverside path steeped in history AND heartache with The Polite Tourist one evening is now no more.

I. It all began with the discovery of a slipper in the year 1898 on the doorstep of an abode in the Middle Water Lane of the City of YORK.

With the hunt for the wearer now underway, a tragic discovery was soon sadly revealed...
I. Shortly after midnight one August day in the year 1902 - a young mother left her home in the Hungate area of YORK with her youngest child safely nestled within her arms.

Their last moments together under the shadow of Skeldergate Bridge would ignite a perfect firestorm throughout the city...
