SPOOKY stories are to be wheeled out to rural areas in the region next week.
Durham County Council's Bookbus is preparing to take to the road to bring the ghostly tales to young and old.
The project is being funded by the county council and the North-East Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, while the storytellers are being provided by Durham City Arts.
