Ghostly goings on in the house

York's well known for its many ghost stories, with sightings across the city. Treasurer's House is home to one of the most famous ghost stories of Roman soldiers returning from battle.

Harry Martindale, an apprentice plumber, was installing a central heating system in the cellars during the 1950s. What he wasn't expecting was the sight of marching Roman soldiers accompanied by a huge horse coming through the cellar wall right in front of him. As if that wasn't enough, the soldiers strangely appeared to be cut off at the knees.

After excavation work was carried out, a Roman road was discovered buried 15 inches below the surface, explaining the soldiers' missing limbs. Daily guided tours into the cellar will tell you more about this fascinating story, and you might even have a ghostly encounter yourself!

But the Roman soldiers aren't are only visitors. Unexplainable sounds, atmospheres and sightings have been reported throughout the house, from the barking of the Edwardian owner's dog Frisk, to Frank Green himself returning to keep an eye on us!
