The weather is beginning to turn crisp and the leaves are starting to fall, which can only mean one thing - Halloween is on its way.
If you’re looking for places to test your nerve this spooky season, there’s no shortage of venues to check out in the North East . From theatres and libraries to ancient pubs, many locations in the region claim to be haunted by the ghosts of centuries past. Visitors have reported everything from eerie noises to spectral sightings in these old buildings.
Of course, they don’t come much older - and more spectacular - than the North East’s collection of medieval castles. Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England, and many are home to bone-chilling ghostly tales.
