I WAS rib-ticked by the letter written by the Darlington based comedian, Dave Adams, where he amusingly stated that the only spirits he has witnessed disappear were the bottled varieties from his grandmother’s former home (HAS, Sept 7).

I sometimes meet up with David for a chilled refreshment, when I can manage to escape from home, and I always like to remind him that one of the spookiest things I have ever witnessed was the crowd at one of his comedy gigs, who were even more scary than the studio audiences that used to attend the Most Haunted Live television shows.
