THIS is the time of year when witches are out and about trying to be scary. Some of them, of course, are merely cute.
Here is a Halloween selection from our archives.
Six-year-old Tracey Bernadette Huddy of Blundell Lane, Blackrod is pictured right giving it all she's got at Scot Lane Primary School, Blackrod, in 1970.
Magic! Members of the 41st Bolton St John's Lostock Brownies enjoyed their Halloween party in 1980, pictured below.
From the left are Nichola Sculthorp, aged seven, Michelle Blackshaw, aged eight and Joanne Sculthorp, aged nine.
And above, children and staff, also pictured in 1980, at the nursery unit in St Thomas's, Chequerbent.
