    Are you brave enough to spend the night in a haunted castle while helping to raise money for children and young people with cancer?

    CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading children’s cancer charity is hosting a Fright Night, run by North West Spirit Seekers at Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire on Saturday 20th March, 2010.
