What a great opportunity it is to take a spirited look at haunting scenes from years gone by.
Ghost hunts and medium nights get our attention in this reflection on Hartlepool Mail images from the past.
Were you captured on a ghost hunt at the Heugh Battery or escaping from a Rossmere ghost cave? Were you pictured telling horror stories at the Historic Quay or on a ghost walk at Elwick?
These and more images are included in our photo selection.
So steel yourself for a spooky spotlight on the past.
