A local paranormal research group is organising a costumed tour of Gloucester's most haunted historic locations.

"The tour will visit the Dick Whittington, which holds interesting stories from down the ages," said Nichola Lynch of P-I-R-T (Paranormal Investigation Research Team), "(followed by) Gloucester Cathedral and the Old Bell Inn, for bar snacks and talks on the ghosts and history of the 17-century building."

At the New Inn there is theatrical entertainment and a sit down meal in the evening for ticket holders.

During the afternoon there is also the chance to see the people involved be placed in stocks and for a small donation to charity you could be the one who soaks them the most.

Later in the evening, just before midnight, a ghost investigation will take place in the New Inn, which will be lead the founder of P-I-R-T and his investigation group.

History

"This isn't just an ordinary ghost tour around Gloucester," said Nichola, "there are many ghost stories to tell on the way and also snippets of history - even born and bred Gloucester folk may be surprised to find out a thing or two."

Participants are asked to wear fancy dress, while overnight accommodation may be booked at the New Inn.

Tickets for the evening are £25 each, visit www.p-i-r.t.com for more information.
