We're now into September which means that Halloween is just around the corner and this year will see a big first for one of Newcastle's most popular visitor attractions.
Life Science Centre is teaming up with GHOSTnortheast to run its first ever ghost hunt this Halloween in an event called Paranormal or Paranoia?
As first reported by The Chronicle many years ago, the excavation work ahead of Life’s construction revealed a startling discovery: a mass grave with rumours spreading quickly that the site could be a plague pit.
This Halloween, visitors can learn more about the site’s unnerving history and to take part in the first ever paranormal investigation in the science centre using various tech devices.
Between ghost hunts, storyteller David Silk will discuss Life’s history and parapsychologist Professor Nick Neave from Northumbria University will also present scientific explanations for why you may sense apparitions.
There will be two tours that focus on the areas where staff and visitors have reported strange goings-on:
* Tour 1: Basement and The Shining-esque service corridor.
* Tour 2: 18th century Market Keeper’s House and 4D Motion Ride.
Tickets for Tour 1 on Halloween itself - Thursday, October 31 - are on sale now for are £35 and the tour will last 5 hours from 7pm - midnight.
Book up at the Life Science Centre website.
