FUNERAL service staff are set for a spooky encounter in their efforts to raise money for charity.
Staff from Hartlepool's Strathmore House Co-operative Funeral Service will take part in a sponsored ghost watch, from 11pm to 7am, in the town's most haunted place on Saturday, March 12.
Their vigil will take place in the Heugh gun battery, on the Headland, where many people lost their lives during German naval bombardments in the Great War.
The team will take candles into the tunnels, which are supposedly known for their poltergeist activity. They hope to raise more than £1,000, which will go to the St Thomas Lupas Trust that funds research into the debilitating disorder of the immune system.
