The Snickleway Inn, York.

The Snickleway is one of the oldest pubs in the city, with parts of the building dating back to the 15th century. The building is believed to have not always been an inn, with evidence suggesting it was used as a brothel, as well as being the Royalist powder magazine during the Civil War.

In addition to being one of the oldest pubs in the city, it’s also one of the most haunted. No less than 5 spirits are rumoured to haunt this building. They include Mrs. Tulliver and her cat, Seamus. Several customers have reported the feeling of Seamus rubbing up against their legs as they’re enjoying their beverages.

The ghost of a young girl has been witnessed sitting on the stairs. Many people believe it is the daughter of a previous landlord, who ran out into the road and was killed by a brewer’s dray. The apparition of an old man has been seen in the cellar sitting on the barrels. He is believed to also be the culprit behind tools being thrown at members of staff when they go down there.
