Micklegate Bar carries a tradition of ghouls, that roam the rooms locked within it's old walls.

Sarah, daughter of the York Gatekeeper in 1797, lost the keys to Micklegate Bar whilst playing as a child. Her father was fired from his post, and the keys were never found until Sarah was old and grey. Dying before telling anyone of the keys' whereabouts, her Ghost now haunts Micklegate Bar desperatley searching for the keys. Did you feel that cold touch on your shoulder and see the shadow out of the corner of your eye?

Above : Sarah Brocklebank stood with the lost keys.
