A SPOOKY visitor attraction in the city is to open its doors for the first overnight public investigation in five years.

The Real Mary King's Close has joined up with the Ghost Finders Scotland team to offer members of the public an opportunity to investigate the site using "mediumistic and scientific research methods".

The Hallowe'en Close Encounter event will take place on October 30.

General manager of the Close, Nigel Hosier, said: "The Ghost Finders Scotland team have often undertaken paranormal investigations on our behalf."
