Curiously, the Museum was full of ghouls, ghosts and witches on Halloween, all determined to boost the 'scream count' on last year's blood-curdling total. And they succeeded. After a showing of The Witches, children and adults were taken on a walk around the silent and dark building by some obliging witches.But all was not as it seemed. A ghost was walking the Learning Centre balcony; the captain of the Mohegan was afoot in the Hold and a spooky creature emerged from the dory. The prize for screams went to the double act of Stuart and Michael who wrong-footed visitors by the dory while the prize for makeup went to Olly for his balcony ghoul.
As a finale we met the children in the cafe to re-assure them that all was well and that Father Christmas is (not) real.
Thanks to Debs and Derryth for organising us and doing some fantastic makeup.
