Something spooky is happening at Maryport’s aquarium.

Paranormal investigation group Parallel Worldz is taking over Lake District Coast Aquarium for a ghost hunt on January 28.

Sam Ellis, 24, of Workington, a carer by day and ghost hunter by night, set up the investigation group with friend Aimee Hollingsworth, 29, from Seaton.

They hold sessions around Cumbria running from 8pm to 2am and use the events to raise money for charity.

Proceeds go to Blood Bikes. Sam said ghost hunts had been held at the aquarium before.

She added: “It stands on land that has been recorded since Roman times.

“We have had really interesting nights there, seeing shadows and recording activity.

“We will begin the night giving participants the chance to learn about working with bells, pendulums and paranormal equipment and then the investigation will begin.”

Sessions cost £20, including refreshments.
