Halloween Ghost Hunt at Ordsall Hall

Let’s start with a disclaimer: this one is not for the faint hearted. If you're of the opinion - or rather the firm conviction - that ghosts do exist, a trip to Ordsall Hall is the one for you.

This historic hall is home to stories including the death of Lady Margaret Radclyffe who died, broken-hearted, in 1599 after the death of her beloved brother Alexander. Previously guests have reported being touched or pushed and some have said they felt someone touching their face when nobody was apparently present.

Personally, I don’t want to take that risk, but if you feel brave enough the next ghost hunt is being held on Saturday, October 29, and tickets can be purchased here .
