SCARY or what? Daring to face the spirits of a paranormal evening at one of the most reputedly haunted buildings in the Forest helped raise more than £800 for Hope Support Services.

Supported by two mediums from Haunted Happenings, the evening at Littledean Jail was described as: "Exciting and successful, full of laughs, thrills and bumps in the dark. The group was made up of those described as novices and those who are believers, proving that fright nights can be a fun, exciting, chilling and quite different experience.

The event was orgainsed to raise awareness of the work carried out by Hope Support Services which looks after youngsters supporting a close family member with a life threatening disease.

Hope Support would like to thank those involved in the evening and especially Nicola and Andy at Littledean Jail for their support.
