Witches, ghosts and ghouls have been wreaking havoc at a stately home near Wells this week.

The Holkham Estate has been hosting its Halloween Horrors event, bringing a host of scary activities, ghostly games and gory fun.

Visitors had a terrifying time in the Bygones Museum where they discovered natural wonders in the 'Curiovan' while a yarnsmith enthralled them with his spell-binding, mystical tales of ghosts, witches and devils.

There were ghostly goings-on in the gardens, a skulduggery challenge, pumpkin carving, phantom football and various creepy craft activities.
