Why is the York Ghost Merchants so popular? When we saw the crazy long line up, we had to figure it out. This tiny shop in the Shambles of York has line ups that go down the street and around the corner. It's become famous because of TikTok and now you need to wait up to 3 hours to get in. Check out why people are flocking to York Ghost Merchants.

Thanks for that - I live in York and have often wondered just 'what' makes people queue all that time? The power of social media marketing I guess!

@_stateofmind_ Год назад

Nice one 🙂

@suzanneb6608 9 месяцев назад

Same. Visited York from the US, saw the long queue. Did the research and the next day we were also in the queue. Heading back for Ghost Week!

What a fun time to be in York!

The shop lady is clearly not from York or Yorkshire. Or practiced her RP accent. Not been there for over 20 years , but a lovely old street. Another one (no tick-tock special shop) is Elm Hill in Norwich. Used as a location in Stardust. (The magical town)

@wideyxyz2271 Год назад

Its tactile. Something unique that you can hold and maybe it calls out to you. Those in the comment's that say its a gimmick or just old shite really dont get it. The very same people that stare at Tik Tok videos all day and seldom realise what's really going on around them. As for the comment about the shop lady not being from York or Yorkshire I dont understand the point you are trying to make? You do realise this was and is a trading city where people passed through selling things or stopped to find work. Better get back to making Tik Tok videos and eating MacDonald's as cultural awareness is obviously lost on you!

@nathanswartz9147 Год назад

I would definately visit with a short line up though, it was an interesting store. :)

@EveryFurtherMile Год назад

Yes, short line up would work. 2-3 hrs though...??

@ellie.l6585 Год назад

Good luck to them, although I don't really get it. Interesting and cute but not worth a 3 hour wait. The fudge shop a few doors down maybe x

@OwenVentures Год назад

Are they all little ghost statues? So. Weird! Lol i would NOT think it was worth it! I'd peek in the window and call it good! 🤣

Re: background noise - get a second microphone a small distance from your main one and invert the phase by 180 degrees.

@EveryFurtherMile Год назад

I'm not sure what that means but hopefully we can google it :) Thank you so much for the advice, we do need a microphone or two ;)

@paulanderson7796 Год назад

@@EveryFurtherMile The idea is to get a microphone close to the narrator and then get another one a metre or so away. The ambient background noise will be about the same for both microphones. But the one closer to the narrator (or other desired sound source) will pick up much more of the narrator's voice. By reversing the phase of one of the microphones (it doesn't matter which) the ambient noise will cancel out to a huge degree, leaving the desired audio largely unaffected. In any case, getting a single microphone as close to the narrator as possible will make a huge difference. So even just one mic that's not mounted on the camera would help hugely. Human hearing is very good at picking up the desired sounds in a live situation. There are visual and other clues. This is called psycho acoustics. It's a precise art and a vague science all at the same time. Ms Ambrose is my younger son's fiancée btw.

First visit to york last weekend, walked down the Shambles, saw a massive queue for this shop, wondered what it was, and tried to peek in but it was too busy. Searched online for it the next day, and can't believe people queued for hours for a statue.

@folkme3042 Год назад

Some people will buy any old shite.

@EveryFurtherMile Год назад

We bought two for the boys, they loved it and it didn't take up a lot of room. It seemed far better then the fridge magnets and ashtrays that fill too many shops in tourist towns these days. Now that's stuff I get tired of seeing fast.

@EveryFurtherMile Год назад

Love 1984! We're going to get our oldest to read it this year. Such a chilling and important book for the current time.

@alexiskiri9693 Год назад

What a gimmick.

@EveryFurtherMile Год назад

I think it was a very cute and fun store who the internet gods blessed with the good fortune of going viral but the hype has grown far bigger than the experience. Without a line up, or even a short one I would highly recommend it.
