York Dungeon
Newest Review: ... the tour, you are walking round a slim corridor looking at the models when one jumps out from behind a wall screaming, she is covered in boils and didn't look too well I must say. On our first visit with the children, this made my daughter jump out of her skin, she was with my husband just ahead of us, so they stayed put, hoping that I would trigger it off when I went past, fortuneately I ... more  ... didn't, so they started to tell me about it giggling away when the lady behind us let out a squeal (it got her). This put the atmosphere is a jolly mood as we continued on our way.

I have visited The York Dungeon on two occassions now, the first time was with my children about five years ago, which was great fun as they were young teenagers. The second time I went with my husband and two adult friends - so I will try to explain the reactions with both visits - as believe me it was totally different without the children.

Ok, I admit it. I watch Most Haunted. I am one of those sad people who spends far too much time watching the live weekend show and then sits there and announces that it was rubbish, only to settle back down for another dose as soon as the opportunity arises. I wonder what it is that makes being scared such a great feeling? I am the worlds biggest coward, but I love scary films and spooky places. One of the recent live shows was centred around the beautiful historic city of York and one of the locations visited was The York Dungeon. I have to say I don't need an excuse to visit York, it is to me one ...

On a recent visit to the beautiful city of York, my husband and I decided we just had to visit the York Dungeon…and was I glad I had someone to grab!It might have been better if it had been my husband...but that's another story! Anyway, this is a decidedly scary experience. The Dungeon is actually underground, which adds to the chilling,ice-running-through-your veins atmosphere. As you descend you hear the pitiful wails of torture victims, the bloodcurdling screams of those poor souls condemned to be bricked up alive, the terrifying cries of those being sent down for a stretch (on the rack!) or strung up on the gibbet.(He got a suspended sentence - ...
