Local online publication York Mix can be commended for never being shy to write up a ghost story and if you missed their coverage of the Golden Fleece’s closure in September (not, I hasten to point out, as a result of spectral disturbance, but rather the need to prevent the building falling down) there is a handy link to the story below.

Apparently Grace, the undaunted landlady who by now is quite used to sharing her tavern with a variety of phantoms, experienced some inexplicable furniture throwing that, despite her magnanimous acceptance of the uninvited residents, suffered a somewhat sleepless night as a result of the incident.

And who can blame her?

Famous York pub to close for three weeks (but the ghosts are as busy as ever)
