It's to raise money for a local Hospice, so it's all in a good cause. Some of the staff get dressed up and jump out on people as they walk along the paths! I was asked to go by a colleague about two years ago to get some pics. I missed the shot of the night of course! That opportunity came when someone jumped out of the shrubbery just in front of her! She almost took off (about 6 feet in the air) and I couldn't move for laughing!!! She said 'Thanks for the sumpathy'. I said I hadn't offered her any!

He is one creepy looking fella. I don't like looking at it, I've seen it for real. Anyways I'd thought I would go up there near halloween, there having a walk through the castle with all the lights out, and just torches for company. Hi Karen: Very cool! I never knew about Tom Fool. I'm guessing that's where the expression "tomfoolery" comes from?? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

If Tom didn't like people who were passing, he used to send them over the estuary into quick sands. Nice bloke eh. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

There's a lot of expressions in our language that come out of some obsure person, place or incident from history. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
