Feeling brave? Now you can embark on a ghost hunt around one of the most historical buildings in the city, the Leeds City Museum.
If you’re fascinated by the ethereal and fancy hunting ghosts in the dead of night, this overnight ghost hunt is the perfect event for you.
And the Leeds City Museum is a brilliant place to do it, housing three levels of terror full of many exciting artefacts and ghostly tales.
A former Victorian mechanics institute, the museum is an imposing building with over 200 years of history.
During this time, there's been various reports of unnerving paranormal activity. Lights flicker on and off, ghostly footsteps are heard running down the halls and there have even been sightings of an unknown figure lurking in the shadows of the Albert Hall balcony.
Feeling scared yet? There are also rumours that the restless spirit of the Leeds mummy, named Nesyamun, haunts the museum...keep your eyes peeled for wet footprints leading from his coffin.

Now here's a bit of history for you, when the Leeds Philosophical and Literary society members decided that Leeds was worthy of its museum back in 1819, they could have had no idea how popular it would be today.
It took them a whopping two years to open the museum to the public at the original site on Park Row, and they kept control of the museum for 100 years before the city council took it over in 1921.
Everything ran smoothly until the bombing in WWII damaged most of the exhibits and a lot of the original building. However it was kept open, and this could perhaps explain all the spooky sightings that have been spotted since...
Ghost hunts around the Leeds City Museum run from 9 pm to 2 am, giving those fascinated with the spectral world the chance to see the building’s eerie happenings in the flesh – so to speak.
Paranormal Eye, who organise the hunts, have warned that they’re not for the faint-hearted and we’re happy to take their word for it.
Tickets are on sale now for £49, with dates available in November 2022 and March 2023. Find out more here.
