Our group of intrepid reporters has teamed up with Warrington Guardian’s resident spiritual medium James Griffiths to stake out the paper’s offices on the hunt for the ghosts reported to haunt the building.

There are thought to be at least two spectres which have been sighted by numerous workers at the paper over the years – employees have seen the ghostly forms of an old woman and a man dressed in black in the building, which dates back to the 1700s.

James, who has had psychic experiences since he was 10, has provided services as a psychic medium, clairvoyant and healer and has participated in around 300 paranormal investigations in the last two years.

There will be a live blog updating you on the spooky goings on along with a video so you can join us on our ghost hunt.

Keep watching for updates as the evening goes on....
