A group of daring fundraisers will be testing their nerves tomorrow by spending a night in a museum.

The 35 volunteers will spend the night at Bolling Hall, Bradford, which is thought to be one of the most haunted sites in the UK, to raise cash for children's hospice Martin House.

But before the sleep-over, organiser Angela Burke has arranged for participants to meet at the Second West pub at Clayton Road, Bradford, where a slave auction will also boost the funds.

Student Jason Smith, who has offered an hour of his time to the highest bidder, has pledged to undertake household chores dressed in nothing but a bow-tie and a thong.

The auction will start at 7.30pm.

Then the Bolling Hall group will make their way to the spooky venue, which they have hired by paying £500 from their own pockets.

"Every bit of sponsor money that we do get will go to Martin House," said Mrs Burke.

She said she had chosen to help the hospice after seeing an appeal for support in the Telegraph & Argus.

To sponsor the ghost-watchers call Mrs Burke on 07950 450 654.
