The Muncaster 'Ghost Sit'

Muncaster Castle is reputedly one of the most haunted buildings in the world. After 15 years of serious research, scientists are still struggling to explain the many strange occurrences reported at Muncaster.

The Muncaster 'Ghost Sit' is a unique opportunity for you to stay overnight in the Castle. To set the scene, your visit will begin late evening, with a private tour of the Gardens and Castle. You will be immersed in the tales and legends of Muncaster - an introduction to our ghostly residents. After your tour, settle down for an all-night vigil in our notorious Tapestry Room, with its Flemish hangings, rich Georgian furniture, Elizabethan fireplace and if you are lucky (or unlucky) the crying child!

The following morning, a full English breakfast in Creeping Kate's Kitchen will greet you.

We can't guarantee spectacular spectres, but do hope you encounter high spirits during a night to remember. (Prize for 2 people aged 17 years and over on a date to be mutually arranged)

For your chance to win please answer this question:

Who is the author of 'Chemistry of Death'?

Answer: Simon Beckett

Good Luck :D
