GROUPS of brave souls took to Tardebigge canal over the Halloween weekend for a spooky trip into a world of ghosts and ghouls.

Regaled with tales of torture and terror from around England, as well as much nearer to home, passengers aboard the Dream Catcher vessel navigated the canal and tunnel, encountering several surprises along the way.

Anyone who feels courageous enough to take the tour, run by James Nicholas Canal & Event Services Ltd, will still have the chance as trips will also be running on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The trips last about an hour, starting from and returning to the British Waterways Yard at New Wharf, Alcester Road, Tardebigge.

The company will also be running a series of Christmas trips which can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
