Catch Ghosts in York.
Follow the map through the city, seek out ghostly waypoints and discover who—or what—is waiting at each stop.
A different kind of York ghost trail
The ghosts are already on the map.
Catch Ghosts in York turns the city into a seasonal discovery trail. The Uncommon Place map shows ghostly waypoints around York. Visit the locations, find out who is waiting there and complete the challenges attached to the trail.
This is not a scheduled guided walk. The experience lives in the app, so players can explore the route in their own time while the seasonal trail is available.
