And you can get nice and cosy too under the sheepskin rugs, blankets and by the fire.

See if you can spot a spirit on a ghost hunt

As Halloween approaches, what better time to go on a ghost hunt?

Haunted Adventure is holding its event at Ripon Workhouse where attendees will get the opportunity to see what life in the workhouse was like, and hopefully experience the many spooky goings on that are reported by staff and visitors alike.

Many have apparently seen ghostly figures in parts of the building, unexplained bangs and knocks and doors opening and closing of their own accord. Some have also reported having their clothes pulled, and voices coming from empty rooms.

As well as using ghost hunting equipment, attendees can also take park in seances and conduct lone vigils if they're brave enough.

£49 per person, from 8.30pm, October 19, Sharow View, Allhallowgate, Ripon, HG4 1LE.
