Ye Wise Olde Witch, Ragnell Hagathorn summons thee to a spellbinding, supernatural adventure - an enchanted evening of storytelling, where fun and fear walk hand in hand! Take the York Witch Walk if you dare! See the sights and delve deep into the fearsome folklore of this most haunted of cities. A gifted Storyteller, Ragnell weaves her own unique yarn, retelling traditional tales of ghosts, witches and monsters with wit and wonder, to truly bring the dead to life! A magical and spooktastic journey into the Twilight Realm of the Otherworld! Expect not only haunting tales, but some horrid history, humour and a pinch of Witchy Wisdom!

The mysterious and enigmatic Ragnell Hagathorn has revealed herself on the ancient streets of York. She has lived in secrecy in this most haunted of cities since the Burning Times. Three thousand years ago she came to this world from the Otherworld. She has been known as “Hedge Witch”, “Druidess” and “Wise One”. Now she is the Storyteller and it is time to tell the Old Tales - TWILIGHT TALES of ghosts, witches and monsters!

Perhaps, whilst walking with the Witch, you'll glimpse the dreaded Barghest (the Hound of the Underworld), or encounter another famous Yorkshire Seer - Old Mother Shipton! You might just find that walking these streets, at the Old One's side, inspires you to take your own steps down the Witch's Path!

Starting from St Helen's Square, Ragnell will guide you on a 90-minute walking tour through York's supernatural secrets. Join her any Wednesday to Sunday evening - but remember, no one should ever travel amongst spirits alone.
