Spend your time in the run up to Halloween getting up close and personal to some ghostly Londoners at the London Ghost Festival. Returning again for 2010, the festival features special events across the city including tours of allegedly haunted sites, talks and investigations into the supernatural.

London Paranormal
Run by public ghost hunting group London Paranormal, the London Ghost Festival aims to get everyone exploring the world of the supernatural with an open mind. With a number of atmospheric locations featuring in the 2010 event, there's bound to be more than a few spine tingling evenings in store as Halloween approaches.

Old Operating Theatre
Last year, one of the venues taking part in the London Ghost Festival was the Old Operating Theatre in Southwark. Taking you on a journey through a haunted ward, this family friendly event still delivered a few chills and thrills as visitors went in search of the White Lady, the old hospital's most famous ghost. Click back soon for more information on whether the Old Operating Theatre will be hosting special events for the 2010 festival.
