THERE'S plenty to get the whole family in the Halloween spirit this weekend.

At Tredegar House in Newport, one of the most haunted sites in Wales, the real-life ghosts and ghouls are coming out to play.

With reports of a ghost in the grounds, parades of ghostly nuns in the inner courtyard and plenty of unexplained footsteps and strange sounds there's plenty to go bump in the night.

And the Tredegar House ghost tour is offering modern-day spook-seekers the opportunity to discover the property's eerie past first-hand.

Beginning with a history of the house's former inhabitants, the Morgan family, the tour delves deep into the bowels of the house, through ancient schoolrooms, darkened bed chambers and even a room once used for black magic rituals.

All followed by Dracula's disco.

It's a Halloween treat not for the faint-hearted, or the under-eights.
