Ghoullish tales from Otley’s past will be revealed in a new ghost tour which takes in fragments of the town’s history.
There is the story of the market town's bone house, an infamous 'eye-licker' and the legend of the Wharfedale Widow, along with eerie tales from a long forgotten past. Creative Daisy Lyons, of Turnip Fish Theatre Company, was brought up in the town and hopes to shine a light on its history. 'It's fascinating. I've learned a lot more about Otley, delving into its past,' she said. 'We like being scared. We love it. And we get to go to the pub after.
' Among the tales to feature in the walking tour is that of an 'eye-licker', who had a stall on market day and would be paid to 'lick cataracts' from people's eyes. Nearby would be the local dentist, accompanying howls as he was paid per tooth to carry out extractions.
