The 13th century north Northumberland castle is renowned as one of the UK’s spookiest places.

So it was the perfect place for a Halloween version of the popular Channel 4 series, Coach Trip.

The series, being broadcast on E4, visited the Alnwick area in the first episode shown last night (Sunday) where a visit to a psychic artist resulted in laughter, tears and talk about the spirit of Michael Jackson.

Then it was off to Chillingham Castle for a ghost hunting experience where Dick and Dom chose Kerry and Lilly to endure a spine-tingling overnight stay alongside Elizabeth, reputed to be the UK’s most haunted doll.

The most famous ghost of the castle is the "blue boy", who according to the owners used to haunt the Pink Room in the castle.
