For ghosts and ghouls in Blackpool today, look no further
than the historic Blackpool Winter Gardens. A building drenched in presence (and
the setting for many a local tale) is sure to provide a fitting location for
the much talked about Haunted Blackpool project. Members of the Dead Good
Poets, local writers and of course, those responsible for bringing everything together
will be assembling at the Pavilion
Theatre from 6-7pm, with the relocation all being down to the ghastly
weather.
So, with a week of the lights left it is a fond farewell to the promenade and a chance to get your fancy dress on early- with an indoor haunt sure to be more appealing to some. Thanks go out to Aunty Social whose fortunate booking of the hall has allowed this to happen- true spirits.
In honour of it being Halloween, we’ve had a trawl of the internet and found some ghostly poems for you. Here are some that struck a chord (links open in new windows).
