A grey lady haunts this city centre pub, possibly a medieval nun, and perhaps the same nun seen walking towards Bootham Bar. Like the Theatre Royal ghost, she was reportedly bricked up alive after giving birth. She may be responsible for some poltergeist activity, and has been known to materialise in the gentlemen’s wash room.

Last November whilst walking along High Petergate from Bootham Bar, I saw the Grey Lady. She looked around 50 – 60 years old, she had a weathered face, with slight bags under her eyes, wearing a light tan habit, no wimple, and had grey hair to her shoulders. We looked each other in the eye for around 2 – 3 seconds and then she vanished.
