There are plenty of things going bump in the dark at Halloween – and this fantastic collection of photographs looks back at two spooky occasions at Haigh Woodland Park.

Wigan Council and Fylde Coast Runners held a Fright Night 10k run at the park in 2021 and 2022.

We delved into our archives to have a look at the brilliant costumes worn by the participants and their supporters.
