Pumpkin run

THINGS that go bump in the night were much in evidence at Langholm cricket club’s ground last Saturday.
As twilight fell, gruesome ghouls, hideous phantoms and wicked witches descended onto the Castleholm to do their worst.
Adults and kids dressed up in Halloween costumes and made up their faces for a special fright night event.
The annual Pumpkin Run, organised by the Muckle Toon Adventure Festival, included a 10k run through the dark woods, complete with scarers, and a trick or treat trail for the youngsters and their families.
Everyone took it in good spirits and there was lots of music, sweet treats and hot drinks to keep the cold at bay.
