Spooky Ripon venues sought for paranormal events
Do you own a haunted castle, hall, pub, manner house, or stately home in, or within easy reach of Ripon?
If you do, Dion Child would like to hear from you.
Recently arrived in the city Dion runs the growing 'Write-on-Ripon' group for creative writers. He also hopes to introduce people to his style of paranormal activity.
Dion formerly lived in Wales where he was involved in running Kington Ghostbusters. He told the Stray Ferret:
He stressed:
Like the Most Haunted TV series that ran for 18 seasons and proved a screaming success, the focus will be on finding the paranormal signs of spirit activity.
Dion said that he has never seen a ghost, but added:
The Kington Ghostbusters group held its paranormal activities at reputedly haunted pubs, castles and stately homes and he is confident that similar places can be found in Ripon or surrounding area.
Dion pointed out:
With up to 20 people anticipated to attend the events that Dion envisages putting on, the hunt is on for suitable medium to larger sized locations.
Anybody who has a property that fits the bill, can contact him via the Ripon Spookers facebook page

The weekly 90-minute walks, which started from Market Square, were interrupted by the covid lockdown, but they made a return when social-distancing restrictions were eased last summer.
