No,but I'd love to go on one.Edinburgh does them.
Yes!
Stayed at Chillingham Castle and got haunted (really! I swear!)
Also did the Graveyard Ghost tour in Edinburgh. Was great fun, and a little scary, but Mr. Lori was disappointed not to be beat up by a ghost. He kept hanging back... 
Nope!

Tell me more, tell me more. I have been dying (no pun intended) to get Mr C to stay at Chillingham Castle with me.
But in answer to the OP, no I haven't been on a ghost hunt. Although I do see a lot of ghoulies and ectoplasm in my bedroom. 
yes, Hoochie and I went on one for Children in Need with some of the Big Brother housemates a couple of years ago. Saw nothing, heard nothing...but never laughed so much in one weekend

yes and we still have the photo's
Not a ghost hunt no. My younger sister has, she's a true (and very nutty) believer!
I did live in a supposedly haunted house for a while as a teenager. I don't really believe in ghosts but it was a bit spooky! Doors would close, things would move etc. It was worse upstairs, so we all (me, my two sisters and my boyfriend) used to sleep downstairs.
One night we were feeling brave so we decided to sleep upstairs. I woke up in the middle of the night and it was ridiculously and inexplicably hot! We all ended up downstairs again.
My son was conceived in the upstairs of that house.....and through my whole pregnancy I had this nagging feeling that I was going to give birth to some sort of devil child. 
Generally I am the worlds biggest sceptic about these things though.

I refuse to be anything but these days.....I live alone, so it wouldn't do to believe, I'd never be able to turn off a light!

OH WOW. I have never been a sceptic. The stuff I had going on in my parents house was sometimes SCAREY, other times comforting. Plus personal experiences.
One could hardly blame you, Ducky!!
Cinds--I hope you go, and I want to hear ALLLL about it!
We did a ghost walk in Haworth which is not far from where we live. My OH and I, and a few friends were led around the high street and the graveyard by this guy who does it every night.
It was a very cold, but clear evening, just right for spookiness. The most spooky part was in the graveyard with the flipping crows roosting in the trees. Every now and then they would flap and squawk and believe me it was scary because of the atmosphere that had been created. All in all though a very enjoyable experience, especially in the Black Bull afterwards.
We actually go to to Haworth and the surrounding area a lot as we have family there, but, I look at Haworth itself, and the high street with very different eyes now.We didn't see any ghosts,(I don't believe anyway) but the chap who does the talks has had some very interesting "experiences". 
Pirate I'm supposed to be going on the Birmingham ghost walk at the end of the month. Today I went tramping round Warstone Lane and Key Hill Road Cemetries in the Jewellery Quarter - middle of the day, bright blooming sun shine and it was spooky as hell I wanted to see the catacombs there
This is the catacomb grave of Neville 'peace in our time' Chamberlain's (who made the appeasement pact with Hitler) grand father and father. I was also looking for Alfred Bird who invented Bird's custard but I couldn't find it
I swear I was being followed around the whole time
Pengy that looks ultra spooky.

it was Sezit - very spooky - I was tramping round them for a couple of hours and the leaves were damp but you could still hear them rustling
No - i have never been on a ghost hunt
Pengy, that looks awesome! I love cemetaries....and the older, the better.
