Dare you go beyond the Veil – and stare into the haunted mirror?

Blending dark history with cutting edge technology The York Dungeon is blurring the line between the living and the lost with a revolutionary AI Mirror experience called Eboracum Veil.

The eerie and interactive encounter, the first of its kind for parent company Merlin Entertainments, invites visitors to confront their ghostly doppelgangers at the start of their descent into York’s darkest chapters at The York Dungeon.

Guests meet a mischievous Jester who tells the terrifying tale of the Ninth Roman Legion, which mysteriously vanished from historical records after being stationed in York – then called Eboracum – in AD 108.

But as the story ends, the Jester vanishes too. And while visitors stare into the swirling mists within the mirror their reflection transforms into something else entirely . . . .

Marrying groundbreaking AI techniques with historical fact and interactive, educational fun, Eboracum Veil provides a chilling twist on the traditional ‘magic mirror’.

The Eboracum Veil is the result of a close collaboration between The Dungeon creative team and local media arts specialists Hewitt & Walker.

The York Dungeon is now inviting guests to step into the shadows of history. Because while the real Ninth Legion may officially still be lost, they’ve never been closer . . . . .
