Ten brave teachers from eight Aberdeen secondary schools are bracing themselves for a pre-Halloween night inside Aberdeen’s historic, and supposedly haunted, Tolbooth on Saturday 29th October in aid of charity.

The teachers are taking up the challenge on behalf of disability charity Friendly Access and Me Too Magazine, a what’s on guide for children with additional support needs. The ten will spend the evening with a paranormal team and their ordeal can be watched live on the and on YouTube.

You’re invited to vote by text message on which teacher has the dubious privilege of being allowed to stay in the Tolbooth until midnight.

Phionna McInnes, Chief Executive of Me Too Magazine, said: “We really excited by this event and I’m sure the teachers and pupils are too! Aberdeen City Council have been great in allowing us to use the Tolbooth Museum as the venue for what certainly promises to be a fundraiser with a difference. It’s unusual for such a new and small charity to be given this opportunity and support and we are very grateful for everyone who has supported us to this point”.

The Tolbooth, a former jail dating back to the 17th century, is said to be one of the most haunted buildings in Aberdeen. You can read more of the history of the Tolbooth on the Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums website.
