A night at hall of ghosts...

May 13 2008 by Katie Campling, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

HUDDERSFIELD cancer charity the Laura Crane Trust is challenging supporters to spend the night in a haunted house to raise cash.

The charity, which funds research into cancers affecting young people, is hosting a ‘fright night’ event at Bolling Hall in Bradford.

They want volunteers to spend the night in the hall, which is said to have more than 20 reported sightings of ghosts and incidents of paranormal activity.

The oldest parts of the hall date from the medieval period and its ghosts are said to come from a variety of eras.

The ‘fright night’ event will take place on June 7, from 9pm.

Those taking part will talk a walk around the building with a medium, sit in on vigils and hold séances to see which rooms have the most activity. Small groups or even brave individuals will also be able to venture off alone with investigative equipment to record evidence of spooks.

Volunteers will be joined by paranormal investigators and a clairvoyant medium.

The event, which will last until 5am, is for over 18’s only.

To take part, contact the trust on 01484 510013 or email admin@lauracranetrust.org
