Halloween has become big business but there's still many wonderful places to visit in Sussex that make a great autumn day out - but still have a spooky story to enjoy too.
With a history as long and rich as Sussex’s, there are many tales to tell of hauntings and strange goings-on in its historic buildings and castles.
We’ve compiled a list of some:
