Bishton Hall, located just outside of Stafford, will host its very own ghost hunt this Friday (21 August).

The Georgian mansion, now owned by Bargain Hunt star Charles Hanson, is inviting locals to come face to face with some of the hall's legendary ghosts and spirits.

Despite being built in the 18th century, there has been a dwelling on the site since around 1086.

The vast house has many areas for ghost hunters to explore under the cover of darkness including cellars, servants living quarters and a secret temple in the woods.

There is even a pet cemetery dating back to 1891.

Attendees can take part in a range of experiments to see what lurks in the darkest corners of Bishton Hall.

Experiments include watch and wait vigils, glass moving, Ouija Boards, table tipping and the chance to use electronic paranormal equipment.

According to organisers Haunted Happenings: "Said to be haunted by the ghost of Charlotte Sparrow, a spinster who inherited the house from her father, there are many sinister and daunting stories attached to this haunting mansion.

"There is a real sense of somebody watching you as you wander through the dark corridors of Bishton Hall.

"In the past many of those who have visited or worked here have experienced paranormal activity including the sounds of footsteps, children's voices coming from bedrooms, the feeling of being watched and the apparition of a woman in the entrance of the building.

"Others have reported doors opening and closing by themselves and cold spots arising from nowhere.

"Do you have what it takes to spend time alone in one of the haunted bedrooms or carry out a vigil in the cellars?"

The ghost hunt will start at 8pm and finish at 2am.

Tickets can be purchased here.

Anyone who is not available on Friday doesn't need to worry as another ghost hunt will take place on Saturday 21 November.
