Brigg's final ghost walk of the winter will be held on Sunday evening in the town centre, and there's still time to snap up a ticket....if you get your skates on!
The very popular walks are organised by Brigg Amateur Social Historians.
Starting from the Yarborough Hunt at 7.30pm, they involve a guided tour of places in Brigg with spooky tales surrounding them.
"Every time we do the ghost walks we always get new ghost stories which help to make them such memorable evenings," said BASH spokesman Graham Austin.
The ghost walks are ticket-only. Visit the Tourist Information Office in the Market Place, where about 20 remain (according to figures released by BASH chairman Josie Webb this morning).
The old Lincolnshire Times office - 57 Wrawby Street - was home to 'Wally' - our very own ghost. The name was given to him by veteran news editor Edward (Ted) Dodd, who often worked late into the evening...banging out lengthy articles on his trusty typewriter.
Ted never made anything of our visiting spook - and it never bothered me, either - but some members of staff were terrified at the prospect of a ghost watching them while they worked after tea in the upstairs office.
