Ripley Castle is set to open its doors after dark for a series of ghost tours.
Visitors will be taken through parts of the 700-year-old castle while hearing stories of unexplained sightings, alleged hauntings and its more unsettling history.
The event is being staged in partnership with Paul Forster's Harrogate Ghost Walk, Ripley Castle Estate and The Boar’s Head.
The Grade I-listed Ripley Castle is said to be home to several spirits, including a mysterious woman wearing Victorian clothing who has reportedly been seen walking through its rooms.
Other stories surround the castle’s tower and priest hole, where Catholic priest Francis Ingilby is believed to have hidden before being captured and executed in York in 1586.
The tours will also explore accounts shared by members of the Ingilby family, staff and previous visitors over the years. Tours include a 2-course meal at The Boar’s Head in Ripley, a tour around the village and then access to Ripley Castle.
Ripley Castle has witnessed periods of plague, religious persecution and civil war during its long history.
Places are limited and must be booked in advance. Tickets are available through the Ripley Castle website.
