Tuesday 30^th October: Haunted Huddersfield.  Meet local author Kai Roberts at Huddersfield Library, from 7-8.30pm, for an illustrated talk.

"Haunted Huddersfield presents a survey of ghostly lore in the region  from traditional headless spectres to modern poltergeist manifestations. Whilst we live in a supposedly rational, secular age such tales stubbornly persist in the public psyche and, whatever their truth, much can be learnt about how we relate to our environment by studying them. And as the old saying goes, you don't have to believe in ghosts to be afraid of them..."
