Are you scared of things that go bump in the night?

If you are scared of things that go bump in the night, don't go to Haworth this Halloween.

The Haworth graveyard lantern-lit tour is hunting for ghosts.

If you're planning on joining in the spooky fun you may meet more than you bargain for around that corner.

So watch your step as you walk through darkened Victorian streets, past scary ginnels where ghouls, goblins, witches and wizards may help you scurry on your way!

The famous graveyard which has been in use for over 700 years ago is believed to house over 40,000 souls.
