I AM very interested in ghosts and haunted places. I hope to write a book on the subject, but would like new stories never published before.

I wonder if any of your readers have any true ghost stories they have heard or experienced?

When I holidayed in York a few years ago I heard footsteps behind me, but there was no one there.

The silly thing is I have forgotten exactly where it was. Does anyone know anything about this?

I went on three ghost walks while in the city and found them very interesting. I look forward to hearing your stories. My favourite pub in York is Ye Old Starre Inn which, I believe, has a ghost so tell me more.
