For most scheduled large online releases in 2025 there will be a small number of the style made as Rare & Unusual limited editions to be sold by charity raffle. ‘The Ghost of Jackdaw Manor’ was released at the end of March, and this is its charity counterpart. The grey ‘hood’ is a pewter metal and the Ghost itself is polished to a high shine. These Ghosts will be numbered and bear a ‘P’ stamp which denotes the metal used, as well as our charity stamp of a heart and anchor. There have been five of these Ghosts made.
 
The Raffalls are open to people outside of the UK although if an overseas winner is selected at random then they will be responsible for covering any shipping costs. UK winners receive free postage (or collection) from our offices if appropriate.
Multiple ticket purchases have equal opportunity for success as ticket numbers are selected from the entire range of tickets purchased including individual tickets purchased as part of a bulk buy. Ticket bundle opportunities offered as early bird incentives. Tickets are available now, follow the link in our stories or go to www.raffall.com and search GHOST OF JACKDAW MANOR.
Winners will be notified by Raffall immediately after the draws are made at 12.30 on 22nd April. In order for the funds to be released to the charities all winners must press the ‘accept’ button located on their Get Prize screen that is accessible via the claim button located on their winning tickets.
We are supporting Scope who campaign to transform attitudes to disability, tackle injustice and inspire action.
86% of money raised will go directly to Scope (after the 9% Raffall commission & 5% Ghost Merchants apportionment).  We have now raised over £200,000 for many charities local and global including Carecent, SNAPPY, The Trussell Trust, Papyrus, York Mind, The Island, Kyra Women’s Trust, RSPCA, York Food Bank and Macmillan through previous charity initiatives.
As ever, thank you for your support & kindness.
Good fortune

Good afternoon, The images above show a Rare & Unusual version of our recent online release named Frozen Charlotte.
For every scheduled large online release in 2025 we will make a small limited edition Rare & Unusual version as Charity Ghosts. The style of these Ghosts will vary with every release, each one identified by the new charity anchor & heart base stamp.
Frozen Charlotte has been given a ‘Gossamer’ Cellar Ghost treatment which adds a veil of subtle frosted silver shimmer to the surface. There are only six of these made and each one is numbered  and stamped with the new Charity Ghost stamp. 86% of all ticket sales revenue will go to the supported charities ( 5% retained for TYGM, 9% commission to Raffall ). We have selected Save The Children as our first charity, tickets at £2 each are for sale from now until 1pm GMT on Wednesday 29th January. There is an early bird ticket offer until 11am GMT tomorrow (23rd January) giving free ticket bundle options.
All tickets are entered into the draw individually even if bought as part of a multi-ticket purchase as one transaction. The winning tickets will be selected at random by Raffall and the Ghost will be sent out to the lucky winners soon after.

Sunday Preview
Many parts of the British Isles will be affected by snow & ice over the coming days.
As the temperature drops below zero and the snow settles we introduce our first Ghost of the year - Frozen Charlotte. Sold from our online shop on Wednesday 8th January at 5.30pm GMT. Batch of 5000. £18 + P&P.
Frozen Charlotte takes her name from a poem written by Seba Smith. Published in 1843, it was set to music and became a popular ballad of the time. This cautionary tale about disobedience & vanity has a tragic outcome.

The Tannery Ghost; heralding a new classification of Ghosts, which have been in development for many years. The Ghost pictured are from our 2021 Pioneer Batch / Recipe .
We espouse traditional values; Ghosts are always made by hand and the methods of making ensure that each Ghost is a true original. The Tannery Ghosts are the epitome of these values, each one is a product of alchemy, expertise & patience.
With knowledge handed down from makers of the past we have adopted methods which use natural processes & ingredients to produce Ghosts characterised by their  beguiling patina and very particular palette of raw colours. We spent many hours experimenting & developing old recipes and dyeing techniques in the early months of 2021,continuing into 2023. There are approx. 60 Ghosts from this period of research & development ( Pioneer Batches P01 & P02 ).
Tannery Ghosts have the recipe No., batch No., manufacture date, a merchant signatory & stamp on the box.
We will sell the first batches of production Tannery Ghosts in the New Year. Full preview and launch details will be announced in due course.
 
“I have been spending the evenings in the companie of the delightful Herron & Wallis, in the dim lightes of their hidden workshop. Every evening when I knock upon the door, there seems to be different rituals in the art of alchemy occurring - some bringe me a Sort of Distress, such as the poisonous plantes they claim will not harm when cook’d a certain way - some are quite beautiful, such as the dying of delicate fabricks with cherry-bark, and the wrapping of ghosts with the scraps.
The two men told us how the alchemic arts is simply the metamorphosis of one element into the other. - with time, and the right attention&care, simple ingredients form something to last through time
From the diaries of J Redferne, 1762/3
 
At 5pm GMT today our production of A Christmas Carol performed by James Swanton will be available to watch on our YouTube channel .
£3 honesty box tickets can be purchased in the SHOP on our website, £1 from each ticket sold going to York Community Bees charity. There are also Pewter Marley Ghosts to be won in the ticket prize draw.

Online sale Monday 18th November 5.30pm GMT.
For our first Christmas on the Shambles in 2019 we made little hanging Ghosts to decorate the shop and they became much sought after. We vowed to make Hanging Christmas Tree Ghosts each year in a new colour so a tradition could be built of buying and adding a new Ghost to the tree as the years go by. This sixth edition of our Tree Ghost comes in varying shades of claret through to crimson, each one hand dipped into a gold varnish and finished with a forest green satin ribbon. This release is being made early in an attempt to make sure everyone has their Ghost before Christmas, this will be the last scheduled release of this year. The height of the dipped skirt will vary between Ghosts and we are unable to exchange ghosts due to personal preference, please bear this in mind when ordering. ONE GHOST PER CUSTOMER- CHECK YOUR BASKET. Multiple ghosts in one order may result in real time cancellation to ensure stock levels remain fair.
The Ghosts will be sold using the Queue Fair system, please visit the SHOP page of our website on Monday 18th November between 4.30pm-5.29pm GMT to gain access to the Queue which will open at 5.30pm The sale should last approximately 1hr 30 minutes
Your Queue number will be given to you at random irrespective of the time that you joined the pre-sale waiting room. Queue numbers greatly exceeding 4200 are unlikely to gain access to the shop to buy a Ghost.
You will have 6 minutes once you have reached the front of the queue and entered the Shop page to buy your Ghost. Please only buy 1 Ghost. We reserve the right to cancel and refund orders which we suspect breach our terms and conditions.

The fiendish Annus Horribilis challenge at Fairfax House also had over a thousand entrants. There were only four correct entries, and a winner was picked at random by the staff at Fairfax House. The beautiful Samuel Carpenter Black Box Wallpaper Ghost will be sent to its new home in the Northeast of England this week. Here are the answers for those who have asked:
