FEARLESS ghostbusters who spent the night in Warrington's "most haunted place" for charity are set to relive their chilling experience.
In December, Rotarians Dave Gardner and Les Bovaston spent a cold damp evening in The Gully, a walkway which stretches between Froghall Lane and Bewsey Road.
Warrington's expert on ghostly goings-on, Wally Barnes, prompted the spooky sit-in with his tales of dead tramps found in a tunnel under the railway track, who have since come back from the dead to terrorise courting couples.
Now he has prompted another night out for the intrepid duo, with tales of "Warrington's greatest ghost", Buttermilk Bess Carrington.
According to Wally, "Warrington's queen of all ghosts" was a cheese seller who died in 1790 and has haunted the Green Street area of the town since her beloved bridge over the nearby canal was demolished.
Bess has been seen nearly a dozen times since Sankey Way was built, and according to Wally, she's not in a very good mood.
The last ghost hunt didn't prompt any sightings, but did raise £200 for charity.
