走走進約克陰暗的小巷和古老的街道，您會發現自己沉浸在一個有著令人不寒而慄過去的城市中。約克的歷史充滿了暴力、恐怖和超自然的故事，正如國際幽靈研究基金會所宣佈的那樣，它贏得了歐洲最鬧鬼的城市的稱號。 從西元 71 年的羅馬建立到動蕩的維京人入侵、諾曼征服和內戰，這座城市的暴力歷史留下了至今仍未留下的遺產。據報導，古城牆內有 500 多起鬧鬼事件，難怪約克被稱為“鬧鬼的約克”。在這篇博客中，我們將探討一些令人毛骨悚然的故事和鬧鬼的地方，這些都是這座城市令人毛骨悚然的聲譽的原因。

瘋狂的愛麗絲巷——一個悲慘的故事：

約克最令人難以忘懷的都市傳說之一圍繞著瘋狂愛麗絲巷（Mad Alice Lane）展開，該巷現在被稱為隆德法院（Lund's Court），連接著Swinegate和Low Petergate。這條小巷以愛麗絲·史密斯（Alice Smith）的名字命名，愛麗絲·史密斯（Alice Smith）一直居住在那裡直到1825年。可悲的是，愛麗絲的生活發生了黑暗的轉折，她在多次遭受丈夫的無情毆打后被指控精神錯亂。這個轉捩點導致愛麗絲犯下了一件可怕的事情——謀殺了她虐待她的丈夫。最終，她被判處在約克城堡絞刑。今天，一些人聲稱瞥見了她幽靈般的身影從小巷的一扇窗戶向下凝視。

約克皇家劇院的灰色女士：

與許多歷史悠久的劇院一樣，喬治亞約克皇家劇院也有其幽靈般的故事可以分享。傳說，灰夫人的靈魂縈繞在禮服圈後面的一個房間裡。這個房間曾經是聖倫納德醫院的一部分，該醫院由修女團經營。這個令人難以忘懷的故事講述了一個年輕的修女敢於愛上一位貴族，這一行為導致了醜聞和懲罰。傷心欲絕的修女被判處在一個沒有窗戶的房間里，用磚塊砌起來，沒有任何逃脫的希望。今天，遊客聲稱在禮服圈中發現了灰色女士的幽靈般的身影，這被認為是當晚成功製作的預兆。劇院的牆壁上回蕩著過去的回聲，與灰夫人的痛苦和渴望產生共鳴。

Golden Fleece Pub – 靈魂棲息的地方：

Prepare to be spooked at the unsuspecting Golden Fleece pub, home to no less than 15 reported spirits. The most notorious of these apparitions is the ghost of Lady Anne Peckett, once the wife of the Lord Mayor of York, John Peckett. Lady Anne’s spectre is said to wander the pub’s corridors, rearranging items and gliding gracefully up and down the staircase. Her spectral companions include One-Eyed Jack, a mysterious figure with an eye patch wielding a pistol, and a curmudgeonly old man, whose grumpy ghostly demeanour remains a mystery. Another tragic spirit that haunts the pub is that of a young boy, believed to have met a tragic fate under the hooves of carriage horses outside the establishment.

烏斯河的鬼故事

《倫達爾橋的迷失工人》

1861年，災難發生了，當時倫達爾橋的前身在施工過程中突然倒塌，造成五名工人死亡，最小的只有 15 歲。幾個月後，一對年輕男女在河岸邊散步時，聽到幾個男人在唱歌，他們的聲音在水面上回蕩。年輕人發誓他看不清聲音來自哪裡，但女人堅持認為她可以看到一小群男人坐在對面的岸邊，坐在那裡，雙腿在河面上擺動。在接下來的160年裡，人們會更多地體驗到這種奇怪的現象，特別是在霧濛濛的夜晚，有些人甚至會看到影子在橋下移動。有趣的是，倒塌的橋樑的一部分被出售並在士嘉堡山谷路的橋樑建設中重新使用。

《保稅倉庫里傷心欲絕的男孩》

There is a tale that talks of a young man who was said to have professed his love to a young woman, but was rejected in a rather cruel way. His misery and heartbreak were so immense that he threw himself into the River Ouse from the old motor house that sits on Skeldergate Bridge. Some believe that it was a deliberate end to his life, but some think that he did it to prove his bravery to her. Either way, the cold water of the river made it hard for him to breathe and he was swept away by the undercurrent never to be seen again. There is a small platform to the side of The Bonding Warehouse, and from time to time the faint form of the man is seen standing there, staring down at the spot in the water where he vanished. These spirits can often be referred to as “echoes” or “shades”, that they are a mere shade of what they were when alive, echoing their final experience and moment in life.
