Ghosthunters to target Smithhills Hall

GHOST enthusiasts are being invited to take part in a paranormal investigation at Smithills Hall later this month.

Paranormal Tours, which specialises in hosting ghost hunts in well-known haunted locations throughout the UK, will be holding its first investigation on Saturday, September 29.

Event organiser Kerry Marsay said: "The event will start at 7pm and last until 1am. Although staying awake may sound difficult, with a full programme of activities, and the potential for ghostly experiences, there is unlikely to be a dull moment."

During the event, participants are given training in the equipment they will use for conducting experiments including meters to measure changes in frequency, thermometers, motion detectors, and devices to record ghostly sounds.

All ghost hunters are invited to bring their own digital cameras and night vision equipment.

Ghost hunters can also speak to a local historian to learn about the property's past, and use the services of an experienced medium to communicate with any presence they detect.

Places cost £79 per person.
